Beth Cooper is the hottest and most popular girl in school. All the guys want to be with her, and no one more so than the nerdy valedictorian Denis Cooverman. Denis has played it safe all through high school and made it all the way to graduation day without ever having really experienced some of the joys of higher learning: breaking curfew, over-consumption of alcohol, fist fights, fast cars and fast women (actually, women in general). But all of that's about to change when during his graduation speech, he utters the five little words: "I Love You, Beth Cooper."
