Never Been Kissed is a classic in film romantic comedies. Drew Barrymore rocks! Simply put: NBK rules!

I loved this movie! (And its not just because I related Barymore's character.) I found it funny and touching at the same time. The plot was pretty original, the humor was great, and it left me feeling good. And, even though I can predict how almost all movies will end, they managed to throw in bit of temporary doubt at the last momment. Before this movie "Drew Barrymore" was just a name I had heard somewhere, afterward I not only knew who she was but came to respect her as an actress.

sure this movie was cute, but it must have been one of the dumbest films I've ever seen. David Arquette is the best thing about it. that's a little sad. Wow the cool kids and the uncool nerds...there are more people in the school than those types of people. The ending was sort of dumb too, it just seemed unethical...the actors do try however and at times this movie can be funny but at most times it is cheesy.

Hello bros wassup with the kissing stuff, this movie is a lot a like to Romy and Michelle's high school reunion, but it has it's own ideas and history, is the ever topic of popularity, cheerleaders, love and the happy ending, but the funny jokes are good and the sad moments are really, wearlly teary, who didn't felt sorry gfor Jossie Grossie when the guys throw her eggs, that's sad, sad, sad, sad, this movie is great and entertaining, and Miss Barrymore has always a believeble acting.

Unfortunately some Editorial reviews might send you away from this wonderful, light, romantic comedy. Yes, it's fairly predictable but contrary to what the cynical editor has to say, Drew Barrymore makes Josie believable, vulnerable and in possession of a conscience. Her nerdiness comes not from her looks but rather from her attitudes and persona... a fact that many of us can identify with. Not only that but not every movie needs to be a serious, lengthy, study of the darkness residing in humanity in order to be interesting and entertaining. Some movies are intended to help us escape from the "oh so stark" reality we currently live in. I give this 5 stars because it's a movie that does exactly that and more... it gives us sweetness, light, humor, and romance. I may have missed something along the way but I thought Drew Barrymore was perfect for the role and I, for one, LOVED it!!! It was truly one of the most simply romantic movies ever.

This is a pretty good movie that's both funny and romantic. I give it five stars because not only was it entertaining but Drew Barrymore is one of my favorite actresses!

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.

I am a huge Drew Barrymore fan and I have been following her work forever I've probably seen every movie she's done and so far I like all the work she's done she's a very beautiful strong woman and talented honest actress.

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.

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.

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.
