Never Been Kissed Reviews
Minority
I might be in the minority on this one, but I love this movie. It is very cute and light hearted. A wonderful chick flick!
Boring
There's nothing clever or subtle about this movie, there's no energy or chemistry, and it ain't even funny. Many movies can get away with formulas and cliches, but not this one.
There are two stories: one about cool kids and nerds, the other a love story. The cool kids are beautiful, dumb, and cruel, the nerds are unattractive, brainy, and kind. Josie - Drew Barrymore - is a nerd who was constantly abused by the cool kids when she was in high school. It seems that the cool kids had nothing better to do than to torture and humiliate Josie. Now that Josie is a 25-year-old newspaper copy editor - and still a virgin nerd - she is given her first journalistic assignment: to attend high school as an undercover student and produce a sensational story that will sell lots of papers. The only problem is that Josie is still a nerd, and she's no better at infiltrating the cool cabal than before. But that all begins to change when Josie eats a marijuana brownie. Deep inside the nerdish girl is a wild and crazy party girl desperate to get out, and it feels great when she does. And everyone likes the party girl better.
Now the love story. There is one person who likes both the nerdy Josie and the wild and cool Josie: her 30-year-old Shakespeare teacher, who, by the way, is not a nerd but a cool teacher. I mean, he really likes her, and it shows. It almost seems that he's stalking her, because after school he's always where she is. But since the feelings are mutual, Josie doesn't mind. At the Senior Prom, while slow-dancing with Josie, the teacher is about to tell her how he feels, until she interrupts him because he is being recorded by the newspaper. In other words, Josie stops him from being caught committing a crime. Does Josie see any red flags that this teacher she loves is making moves on what he thinks is an underage high school student? No. Not only does she ignore the red flags, she makes a huge public display of their falling in love at the end of the movie, and everyone is ecstatic. Hey, what's more romantic than a cool high school teacher falling in love with a student?
If in describing the absurdities of this movie I have made it sound less boring than it is, I'm sorry. It's really not worth your time.
