Never Been Kissed (1999)

A perfect example of what is wrong with our society
After having the misfortune of watching this movie i was surprised at how many people liked it. This movie gives a horrible message to any young person watching. the main character (Drew Barrymore, who is not sexy enough or talented enough to have a movie) is a reporter who sacrifices her career for popularity.

The message is as horrible as the acting. She prefers to be a victim of the judgment of teenagers and keep a fantasy view of romance (never happens in real life) rather than maintain her professionalism or advance her life. any mature adult watching the movie should see the immaturity of the main character, her failure to move past her primitive teenage instincts. It proves women are too emotional for professional positions in lucrative careers and are too stupid to move past high school. While there is no problem with a movie about a girl who goes back to high school, elevating her for doing so is appalling and shows that the character has de-matured and fallen into a world of fantasy.

It was painful for me to watch this as it was not comedic or effective in sparking emotion for me to reccommend to anyone. This is perhaps the worst movie i have ever seen and if you feel otherwise, you probably have the maturity of a child.

She works on a newspaper, she wants to go back to High School. I wouldn't want to set a foot near my High School.

A very sincere and cute film
Upon viewing it for the first time, I must say, I wasn't terribly impressed with Never Been Kissed. I don't know what it was, but on my 2nd viewing, I think I actually fell in love with the movie. No clue how or why that happened. All I know is that its a great inviting type of film that deals with real issues. Drew Barrymore is great in this. She is awkward and cute and funny all at the same time. Its a good role for her. I loved all the High School flashback sequences. It has such a great storyline and for a comedy based high school, its actually really good. There are quite a few unrealistic things pertaining to this movie, mostly with some of the students, some wardrobe issues, and other minor tidbits, but as a whole, it works and its very cute and touching.
