Movie Reviews of Never Been Kissed

Movie Review: one of drews finest
Summary: 5 Stars

The main star Drew Barrymore (Charlie's angels 1 & 2, the wedding singer, etc., etc.) plays Josie Geller, a 25-year-old who graduated school at the top of her class. She's never kissed a guy or even had a real boyfriend but she is the youngest copy editor at the Chicago Sun Times and wants to be a serious reporter. So she was very excited when she is assigned her very first job as a reporter to go back to high school as a regular teenager and find out about teenagers today. Then she remembers her own painful high school experience and it seems impossible that she will be able to fit in and get her story.

When she first starts going back to high school it looks like Josie's second experience of high school will be another nightmare until her brother enrolls himself in school also undercover as Josie's ex-boyfriend and quote 'good friend' unquote. He fits right in with the cool kids and makes his sister seem wild and cool to everyone. That's when things really get interesting at school and suddenly Josie is a huge part of the group of cruel but ridiculously attractive and popular teens but soon realizes for the first time in her life that maybe this isn't a group she wants to be a part of after all.

David Arquette (from the scream movies) plays Josie's 23-year-old brother Rob a popular fun-loving easygoing guy but is not as success-driven (he still lives with his parents, never went to college, works at what is called the "tiki post") as his sister. In my opinion David brings a fun and carefree vibe to every scene he's in. Let me just say I found what Rob says in the movie as advice to Josie "all you need is the right person to think your cool and your in everyone else will be too scared to question" very true in my experience because just like everyone else, even popular people fear rejection. Although I admit some things in the movie are just a cliche and not really how high school is.

There is so many characters that are great cause the whole cast is great but this would be too long to tell about them all you'll just have to check the movie out to see and appreciate them all.

Constantly Teased by the cool kids, pressured by her boss and a deadline for a great story, Smitten and distracted by her English teacher, and haunted by her past, it's an interesting and often hilarious and touching to watch Josie's journey to realizing if she wants others to accept her, she'll have to accept herself first and not being ashamed of who you really are is cool in itself.

Despite what the editoral review said, although drew is beautiful and popular in real life she has the ability to sink in to every character and cliche she is given in her movies, She's almost played about every cliche and I know a girl in my old school that I went to school with Elementry, Junior High, and High School and in each one the whole school knew her because she was totally clumsy akward annoying and geeky and was harrassed by almost the entire school and as far as I know had no friends and certianly had no boyfriends. Drew plays that part so well it's not even funny. And like someone else said the movie teaches you that no matter what symbol status you had in school you still can have a bright and happy future if you believe in what you can do and choose to not let your past and mistakes control you. The girl in my school I mentioned attends a great college and is engaged. So my advice is to those that attend school don't under-estimate the "akward geeks" in your school cause one day they could grow out of it and have a great future and maybe even become famous one day. So you may want to be nice cause some day you might be kicking yourself in the head for treating them like crap.

Bottom line, this movie is funny, romantic, touching, and supported and saved by a terrific conviencing and talented cast. I highly recommend it.
