Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review 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 IThe Wedding Singer /IBarrymore'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 INever Been Kissed /Ifrom 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 clichéd 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. -- IDave McCoy, Amazon.com/I --This text refers to the VHS edition of this video

Never Been Kissed is a wonderful, feel-good movie that will leave you with a huge smile on your face long after it's ended.pI'm not a 'teen' and I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Drew Barrymore is great and totally believeable as the nerd who is an ugly duckling on the outside but a swan on the inside, who returns to school for an undercover job as a reporter, where she ultimately finds herself.pWhen I saw this at the pictures, the whole audience was totally absorbed by the film and vocally sympathised with Josie's humiliating flashbacks and laughed out loud at her charming awkwardness.pDavid Arquette as her 'cool' and 'popular' brother was inspired casting and Michael Vartan as the teacher she falls for plays his part perfectly.pThese three actors alone make the film well worthwhile. Watch it and see. A thirteen year old girls first ever review April 1, 2006 8 out of 11 found this review helpful A very romatic film. This DVD is the best I've ever seen. I could watch it over and over again and never get bored of it. I really loved the characters and the story. I would recommend it and have done so to all my friends. Heart-warming film with the endless comical moments May 1, 2000 3 out of 4 found this review helpful Drew Barrymore at her finest! Josie Geller makes you smile, makes you cry and makes you cringe behind your cushion - God i hope we weren't like that at school.....were we? pThere's fun, tears, romance and a fine looking man! What more do you need? You can't help but watch this film over and over again. Definitely a must for those girlie nights in with tea and toast! Thank God it's out on video soon! You'll love it - i promise! Never been kissed, a great comedy..... September 6, 2000 psharped@csc.com (Lytham, England) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful I must admit after reading the cover of the DVD and finding out that Drew Barrymore played a geek I was not sure that the film would work. I am glad to say that I had to eat humble pie, Drew is a superb comedy actress and holds the film together brilliantly. How often does a romantic comedy get the balance right between comedy and romance, well this one does, whilst being funny is still manages develop an interesting plotline about American high school life and how shallow and superficial this environment really is. This film gets a big thumbs up, I cannot wait for Drew's next comedy offering... Drew at her BEST! May 3, 2000 2 out of 3 found this review helpful Top film! It's funny, moving, uplifting and totally brill! Drew is definitely at her best in this film- she is just made for the role of Josie Geller. Drew fans must see this! Drew plays a woman who goes back to high school to report on it in her newspaper. ................. Showing reviews 1-5 of 35 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Next »
