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 The Wedding Singer Barrymore'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 Never Been Kissed from 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. -- Dave McCoy, Amazon.com --This text refers to the VHS edition of this video

Synopsis
Barrymore plays a newspaper editor who goes undercover at a high school to find out what the "cool kids are into." In the process, she redeems her first go 'round, which was nerdy, awkward and unbearable.

Customer Reviews

Cute!
Nice easy to watch film, passes the time and a bit more. Drew Barrymore, I find, is sweet and appealing as an actress but never too much, can usually enjoy watching her, and that is the case here too. She carries the film along, and David Arquette is good fun as her brother. Enjoyable and with a happy ending but not too sweet, just.

This Movie Rocks my Socks
Well the first time I ever watched this movie, was one day I was flicking through the channels when my dad cam in and decided to watch something else! I then went into the room and turned the tv on! This movie caught my eye and really grabbed me! I didn't want to move! I had never heard or seen anything about this film before so it was a first

The storyline is soo unique and original, it is unbelievable! It is a mix of teen, romantic and comedy all in the one movie! The storyline realy suits the actors that play the characters!

The actors along with the storline rocks and really gives the storyline an extra flavour!

I would reccomend you buy this because once you have watched it once you will want to watch it again and again

Great!
I reccomend anyone that loves comedies to watch this! I am not a big fan of comedies, but this is really great! If you disliked american pie, don't hesitate to watch this, as it is much better!
A chic flick comedy with some funny parts to it. Drew really rocks in this!
