Never Been Kissed

Summary: So true to high school life...
Review: Never Been Kissed is the story of Josie (Drew Barrymore) a young copy editor at the Chicago Sun Times, she has never had a long-term relationship or had that one great kiss. Then she finally gets her chance to be taken seriously as a report, as an undercover report at a high school. But can this "geek to the core" pull it off and get her great story? A hilarious story, with Barrymore shining as the female lead, her character really makes the audience feel for her. Her co-stars David Arquette, Michael Vartan and Jeremy Jordan help make this a must see romantic comedy.

Summary: Drew gives life to an otherwise cheezy flik
Review: Drew Barrymore plays Josie Geller, a nerdy journalist for the Chicago Sun, who's 'never been kissed'
As part of a writing assignment she must return to her own school, where she was ostracized and tormented as 'Josie Grosie'
Now she was well made up to look the part when she plays her role back in high school (the first time), but seeing her in the truck where she is organizing the sound system, with the sound man, to organize the sound wiring for her assignment, blond, beautiful and very fetching in tight blue jeans showing her sexy buxom figure to such great effect, it is impossible to believe she is the same person.
It's a cheesy story, and a predictable story line, and only Drew's acting makes it worth seeing. By the way, I think Drew always looks best blonde-she should keep it that way.

Summary: DREW is funny. 15th april 2004.
Review: Drew barrymore plays a confident but funny person in this movie, nearly all the way through there is a laugh somewhere. Not only is she the best actress in the world, but she is absolutely brilliant in this. Josie geller[her], works for the chicago sun times, she is doing a script so she as to pretend she is 17again. Except everybody used to call her josie grosie. She puts a brave face on and does it, it's like shes at south glen high again but she is only there for the script she is doing. Josie shows how smart she is to get people to like her, she as to make friends with 3 most popular girls in the class. So she does it, she gets them to like her and shows how ace she is. She wins prom queen, gives up the script she is doing to save her friend she lost from getting dog food all over her by them 3 girls. She and her teacher fall in love, and now everyone knows how old she actually is for real.

Summary: very funny
Review: This could possibly be Drew's best work, but for some reason I love "Mad Love" more. Anyway, this story is too funny to ignore. The whole cast and plot was done exceptionally well.

Summary: NEVER BEEN KISSED
Review: Never Been Kissed is a great comedy/drama. It not only keeps the audience on the edge of their seats but also keeps them laughing throughout the whole film as well. Drew Barrymore is amazing in her role as Josie Gelid. Josie Gellar is a "Chicago Sun Times" reporter, who is given an assignment to go back to High School undercover and try to fit in with the popular kids. Problem is Josie was always a nerd in High School who was always picked on and made fun of.

Josie Gellar goes in as an undercover reporter and is just reminded of her past, being the biggest nerd in school, until her brother, played by David Arquet, steps in and Josie is having the time of her life with the "popular kids". Watch how Josie falls in love, and desperately wishes to receive her first kiss. See what happens when she blows her position as an undercover reporter. This is an amazing comedy with great actors, and an awesome script. A great date movie with an awesome message which is just to have confidence in yourself and just about anything can happen.

Summary: awesome!
Review: I bought this movie without having seen it. I just like Drew Barrymore as an actress so I thought it couldn't be that bad. And it definitely wasn't! I laughed, cried, cringed, just every possible emotion.

Josie is a copy editor who's first assignment as a reporter is to write about teenagers, which is why she has to go back to high school. Now high school is not a good memory for her b/c she was always made fun of in high school...she is dreading it, but tries to change (i.e. put on makeup, new clothes, new car) in order to fit in. Plan goes awry though because those things are just NOT popular anymore. Oops...

She is once again the odd girl out until her cool, younger brother Rob (Arquette) also enlists in the school and makes her popular almost overnight. Like he says, "You just need one person to think you're cool and you're in. The others will be too scared to say anything."

There is also a thing developing between her and her English teacher, Sam, him finding her brilliant and unique, her finding him attractive and kind. But he holds back because he still thinks that she's a student of 17 years.

Prom is included, where Josie's true identity is revealed and Sam storms off feeling betrayed and made a fool of. Josie, now a confident woman because she has realized that it is what's in your heart that matters, writes about her experience as her article for the newspaper, in the end, asking Sam for a chance to make things right.

The ending was very sad, I was sobbing my eyes out. Drew gives a wonderful performance on the baseball mound. No words were needed as she waited for Sam to appear and give her her first kiss...all you needed to do was look into her eyes, welling up with tears threatening to spill over. The emotion was all there in those eyes and they make you feel for her so much, that you can't help but feel her despair. This one's a keeper.

Summary: Cute and Fun
Review: This movie is very cute and a nice light comedy. I appreciate how it is stressed that high school popularity only really matters in high school, but out in the real world it won't help you any. Drew Barrymore's character makes discoveries about herself that raises her self-esteem over the experience. She comes to realize that an attractive guy can really like her for her and that waiting for your first kiss can make it even more enjoyable. That's definitely what I think, anyway. Watch this movie. It's a great watch, even if only once.

Summary: Not bad, but not good
Review: Somehow this movie seems as if it was written in the 80s...its a bit old-fashioned for a romantic-comedy made in the late 90s...anyways...
Barrymore plays a copy editor, who gets her first chance to write a story as a reporter. But for that, the 25-year-old needs to go back to high schools and pretend that she was 17. Yup, this sounds not very believable. Thats one big minus.
Some of the jokes are really nice and make you laugh, but sometimes "Never Been Kissed" drifts off into dumb slapstick comedy.
All in all, this movie is worth watching. You wont want to buy it on DVD, but youll have a funny time. The performances- especially by Leelee Sobieski as nerdy girl and Michael Vartan- are very good. Barrymore is a bit too annoying for my taste and David Arquette is totally wasted in this one.
