Never Been Kissed Reviews

Josie is an editor who works for a newspaper and has only 25 years. Her boss wants her to disguise herself as a teenager and sneak into college to do an investigative piece. The problem is that in her early teens, she hasn't had good experiences and has fears that they repeat and it causes her resignation.

Starting with the fact that hardly a woman of 25 years would pass for a teenager, and more strenuous has never been kissed. Taking into consideration that is a fiction we get the part that is a romantic comedy, and especially in the 90s.

I believe that in the epoch it worked well in a successful way, almost became a modern fairy tale.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Drew Barrymore, I thought I should give it a try. Frankly she is not really a great actress whatsoever but, like I said before, I always had a weak spot for her and this movie is a pretty good example of her typical work. Indeed, it is actually a pretty generic and really predictable romantic comedy but thanks to Drew Barrymore everlasting charm, I thought it was still pretty entertaining. To be honest, the story was actually quite ridiculous when you think about it but she managed to get the right tone and I was mildly entertained throughout the whole thing. This movie also featured James Franco's acting debut and even though it was a rather small part, it was still pretty neat to see him. It is also interesting to note that this movie was directed by Raja Gosnell, the guy responsible for such abominations like 'Big Momma's House', 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua', 'The Smurfs' movies and the 'Scooby-Doo' movies and this is probably the only watchable movie he has ever directed. To conclude, honestly, it was nothing really exceptional but if you like the genre, it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like Drew Barrymore.

Drew Barrymore was darn irritating. Thank god for David Arquette and that hot English teacher otherwise i so wouldn't have made it through this one! ;P
