Rating: Summary: Pleasant Review: Entertaining "what-if" story starring Drew Barrymore as Josie, a 25-year-old would-be reporter who gets a chance to relive her high school days. With the help of her younger brother she manages get in with the popular crowd and not be such a geek this time. Of course, in the end she figures out that hanging with the popular kids is not where she really wanted to be after all.It's true that there are cliche characters and the whole thing is rather unbelievable. One BIG problem with the plot is that Josie went to college but has still never been kissed--huh? No matter how geeky one might be in high school, things change when you get to college. She surely would have met guys to date in college. Nonetheless, it's a charming, light movie, especially recommended for Barrymore's performance.
Rating: Summary: That's what movies are for Review: I felt compelled to comment on Dave McCoy's interpretation of this movie. Speaking from the point of view of a mother with teenage children of her own, I found this movie delightful. Obviously, Dave forgets a few important facts: Of course this movie's plotline was thin and cliche (I've learned not to expect originality from Hollywood),but then Dave McCoy is not a member of the movie's intended core audience: teenage girls (many who have given their review here). I think Dave needs to realize that some movies are meant to just entertain. Drew Barrymore was believable as a geeky teen and although there were exaggerated character types (popular girls;dumb jocks), It's hard to deny that such social circles do exist in today's schools. In essence, I would like to say that the movie accomplished what it set out to do: (as one other reveiwer stated) make a girl feel "all gooey inside!"
Rating: Summary: Drew Barrymore is a real charmer Review: I love this movie a lot because it's the best comedy tear-jerker ever since The Wedding Singer,where she plays Josie Geller,copy editor for the Chicago Sun-Times who goes back to school for the exclusive story of a lifetime.
Rating: Summary: Vartan and Barrymore are Great! Review: This is one the best videos that I have seen in a long time. With an all-star class and great story line, this movie is a sure shot! Vartan and Barrymore have excelent chemistry and it would be great to see the two of them to do another film with each other! This being to some, a cheesy high school love story, might seem like a snoozer, but with its quirky jokes and uplifting story, it is sure to win the hearts of many.
Rating: Summary: good scripts bad actress Review: I thought the movie itself was really good but Drew Barrymore kind of ruined it. She needs to learn how to act. I loved the ending of this movie
Rating: Summary: Never Been A better Movie! Review: This movie was the best. Yes, the acting was a little weak, however, this movie left you feeling all warm and gooy inside! I will definately own this video! Watch out all you preps, the geeks will have their revenge some day!
Rating: Summary: Quite impressive Review: I found a lot of this years teenager comedies pointless. But this one was really enjoyable. The characters are interesting, and the storyline is alright. There are a few slow parts, but it is cute, and funny, and I like it.
Rating: Summary: Great Romantic Comedy! Review: Now, I do like Drew Barrymore anyways, and I do like movies like this one, but I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would. I ended up seeing it at the movies three times, and loved it more each time. It made me laugh, it made me cry; it did everything that a good movie should do.
Rating: Summary: Loved this movie Review: Very Cute movie. I can totally relate to the story line of this flick. Drew Barrymore does the best acting I have seen from her and Molly Shannon adds a lot of the laughter along with David Arquette. A definite must see.
Rating: Summary: the best movie i saw 1999 Review: i loved this movie so much i saw it four times in one week at the cinema
