Never Been Kissed

Rating:
Summary: WONDERFUL!
Review: It was funny and sad because of the way Josie got treated, But in the end it was very romantic. What EVERY kiss should be like! I sorta feel sorry for Josie, especially for what they call her: "Josie Grosie", But still everyone should see this movie!

Summary: Never Been Kissed has never been greater!
Review: At first, I thought that this movie would be very bad, compared to other Drew Barrymore movies. When my sister and I saw Never Been Kissed on HBO, I knew that my prediction was totally wrong. As a fan of romantic comedy, I found it very enjoyable. Drew stars as Josie Geller, and is a reporter for a newspaper. She disguises herself as a seventeen-year-old to see how high school kids are acting these days. She makes friends with the popular girls and is soon the most popular girl in high school. Drew's nerdy friend was played by Leelee Sobieski, a great actress. This is a movie that teaches a very important lesson.

Summary: Never Been Kissed
Review: I loved this movie. Drew Barrymore was funny, and it was such a real theme. You really felt for "Josie Grossie" with each flasback, and you felt so good when she made it to popularity. This movie is funny, real, and heart warming. If you want a movie that makes you feel god, get "Never Been Kissed".

Summary: Charming movie
Review: I stumbled upon this movie by accident on HBO. What a terrific, sweet, and funny movie! Drew Barrimore is charming as Josie Gellar, a 25 y/o reporter working undercover as a high school student. Her first major assignment is to write a story about teenage life in the late 1990s. What evolves is a heartwarming and captivating tale about "fitting in" and falling in love.

Never Been Kissed shares some plot elements with other classic high school movies (Say Anything, Can't Buy Me Love, Breakfast Club, 16 Candles)...but it has many unique qualities, and stands very well on its own merits.

Highly recommended.

Summary: great movie
Review: When Never Been Kissed first came out in theatres last year, I never thought that it would become one of my favorite flicks. It ranks up there with another favorite teen flick of mine--16 candles. They have the same elements: geeky girl, fine-looking object of affection, and about high school life. Everytime I see this movie, I get moved by it even though I'm 25 years old. It's really a feel good movie. Drew was natural as Josie and Michael Vartan was also natural as the english teacher. he's also hot! I think that deep inside all of us is that we are hopeful to find the right person who respects us for who we are. Mr. Sam liked Josie for her intelligence, warmth, and kindness and not because she's pretty or have other physical assets that typical men drool over. I highly recommend this movie.

Summary: I didn't like this movie!
Review: It was okay when I first saw it in the theaters. But now that I saw it on HBO it has gotten stupid. This movie is a takeoff from 10 Things I Hate About You not to mention it's horrible. Do not rent/buy this movie it's dumb. If you want to see a good movie go rent American Pie, Outside Providence, or Rushmore. This movie's not even funny. I wouldn't recommened it!

Summary: Not Just For Kids
Review: This is a film that I really relate to. I was not popular in high school and was teased when the "in crowd" found out I liked one of the football players in their group. Although there are some scenes which seem outlandish, for the most part, the film is an accurate portrayl of the cruelty which is a part of high school, and how every girl just wants to be accepted and popular. Barrymore's character is especially poignant when she mentons how in the real world, no one cares if you were a nerd or a prom queen, and she adequately expresses that there needs to be understanding and kindness for everyone.Another important theme in the film is that sometimes ethics and morality need to come before "getting the scoop." If only all journalists felt that way, the world would be much better off.Yes this does appeal to teenagers and there are important issues for them in it, but adults would do well to visit those issues as well, and be entertained in the process.

Summary: Worth a second glance
Review: Obviously Dave McCoy has no imagination. Or, if he does, it does not center around the typical romantic comedy that people CONNECT with. If it's one thing people know and understand, it is the need to be loved and to be recognized. Drew Barrymore portrayed a grown woman who had not found true happiness perfectly. She was going back to the place all her fears centered around and hopefully rectifing past mistakes. It's true; most people would do anything to go back to high school. I wonder if Mr. McCoy has been in a newspaper office? It is packed with tension and emotion. Of course John C. Reilly played Drew's superior to perfection. What else were the news staffers supposed to do? They were watching their fellow colleague work her first story as a reporter. They watched her to give her their own support. They knew how it was to be a fresh reporter on the first assignment. The romance between Barrymore and Michael Vartan wasn't lacking. They just didn't have enough screen time together. As for for the director, the person made up for past wrongs.

Summary: Lovely.
Review: So, you think Never Been Kissed is one of those silly teenybopper movies with no point? You're wrong. Never Been Kissed is a warm, funny and cute story that will leave a big smile on your face after you see it.

Drew Barrymore is excellent and perfect as Josie Gellar, a reporter for the Chicago Sun Times. Everything is going well, until Josie gets put on a 'real' assignment. - to go back to school and see what kids are like these days. And then she remembers how life was when she was 17.....

You'll love this movie - enjoy!
