John Hughes isn't around to make movies anymore, but I think he would have been happy to make<a title="I Love You Beth Cooper" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1032815/" target="_self"> "I Love You Beth Cooper."</a>

If there's a teen movie that expresses maybe the ultimate fantasy -- the geeky valedictorian telling the school goddess in front of everyone that he loves her -- this is it.

It's graduation night, and valedictorian Denis Cooverman is learning there is both more and less to the girl he has idolized since seventh grade. Denis is bound for Stanford in the fall, and head cheerleader Beth is self-aware enough to know that the best part of her life has probably ended with graduation.

They have the kind of night that just doesn't happen, with all sorts of felonies being committed and all sorts of dreams coming true.
