Product Description
A budding journalist is determined to go from geek to chic when shes sent back to high school on her first undercover assignment. Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 01/15/2008 Starring: Drew Barrymore David Arquette Run time: 108 minutes Rating: Pg13

Let's get this straight: Drew Barrymore started a production company to develop original scripts outside of Hollywood and the first project she chose to produce was this, a romantic comedy written by USC grads Abby Kohn and Mark Silverstein about a nerdy, virginal woman who returns to high school as an undercover reporter, finally gets to be popular, and falls in love. And Barrymore decided, as producer, that the perfect actress to play this virtuous, clean-cut, and downright annoying geek would be... Drew Barrymore? It's hard to believe that after The Wedding Singer Barrymore's not getting enough dopey, formulaic, predictable romantic comedies coming across her desk. The complete inability to buy Barrymore as unattractive, awkward, and unpopular ruins Never Been Kissed from the start, but it's doubtful a better actress could have saved it. The jokes fall flat, the romance between Barrymore and her English teacher (played by Michael Vartan) lacks chemistry, and the portrayals of high school and the newspaper newsroom is cliched and uninspired (big surprise here: the director, Raja Gosnell, previously made Home Alone 3). Gosnell can't even give the gifted character actor, John C. Reilly, anything to do. Only David Arquette, who plays Barrymore's out-of-control brother, brings any energy to the film. --Dave McCoy

 A complete joy October 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This review is from my wife Sarah: Never Been Kissed is one of my all time favorites. Drew Barrymore is absolutely believable and lovable as an intelligent but seriously geeky 25 year old writer who goes undercover as a high school student. In the course of looking for her story she must break into the "popular" click, but that's tough because inside she's still the same geek that she always was. In this process she finds her healing and dignity. Her under-acheiving brother steps in to help her, and he also finds his own second chance at life.
She also falls for a teacher who sees her as an off-limits high school student. The entire story is told in a totally amusing and engaging way. It's a story many people will relate to, and though it's a great "chick flick", I believe guys will love it as well. It's just a great story, with a lot of wit, humor, great acting and a strong script. From start to finish it's completely engaging.
I've got to reveal that I've probably seen this movie over 20 times. I do think this is a movie worth buying, and I highly recommend it to everyone.
 good not great October 24, 2008
at first the product was unreadable; then, it was okay, but the disk jump sometimes at the beginning.
I won't sell it now - though I want to, because it's not in great shape.
Adorable October 19, 2008
This is not a serious movie. It's cute, adorable, and innocent. Drew Barrymore at her best. This movie introduces us to Michael Vartan. What a babe. If you want to see another side of Jessica Alba, you should rent this. So many funny comedian and actors/actresses in this small little movie. I loved it and I'm not afraid to say that I am in my late 30's.
Just Plain Fun! September 13, 2008
This is a very cute romantic comedy starring Drew Barrymore. A former nerd is forced to go back to highschool as an undercover reporter and relive the traumas of her youth. Predictably, she discovers more about herself than she does about any story and along the way she finds love in a most unexpected place. This movie isn't too deep or that thought provoking, but it is a modern day 'fairy tale' with a happy ending that will leave you feeling good. Recommended for anyone that enjoys romantic comedies and a positive, feel-good movie.
Great Movie June 13, 2008
If you like happy ever after, this is a great movie. Drew Barrymore is a wonderful fit. Received it very quickly after ordering. Very satisfied.
