Advertised WRONG was NOT a comedy more DRAMATIC

This film was NOT as funny as it was advertised...which was a broad comedy. This was NOT a broad comedy, instead it was an odd look and take on the darker things that actually do occur in high school and real life. Themes Including but not limited to: drug use, sexual abuse, sexual oritentation, physical abuse, relationship abuse, drunk driving, not having enough money to afford college, death of a family member, and familial issues in general.
How many 'high school comedies' even bring up these issues? The reason why I Love You Beth Cooper felt so off was because no one was expecting any of these issues to be mentioned. It was NOT a high school comedy, it was NOT a glamorized version of high school. The directors, writers, and publicists should have made a better effort to fit this film in the corect category. The comedy was misplaced and not used well and most the dramatic elements were dealt with awkwardly.
