trailer break: ‘I Love You, Beth Cooper’

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I learned yesterday that this shan’t be screened for critics, and now I can see why. How the hell old is that guy playing the valedictorian? The IMDB says 28. Geez. Or perhaps I should say geezer. Not that 28 is old old, of course, but it’s … more…
