A couple of months back I was browsing round my local PDSA shop (a charity which , in their own words supports ' pets in need of vets'). As much as I love watching movies , unless I am really desperate to watch a film , I would never buy a brand new DVD at full price. I would much rather wait a couple of months and pay half the price. I think this is a much more sensible approach as it still allows me to see the movie I wanted , yet without burning a hole in my pocket.
Anyway , back to browsing in the shop. I much prefer buying DVDs from a charity shop (providing they are of good quality) as you can pick up bargains. For example the other week I managed to buy four videos for a £1. I think that the fact that I have a video player (as well as a DVD player) whereas a lot of people don't these days , means that it is an advantage for me as I can buy videos at only a few pence each.
I managed to find Never Been Kissed for 25p which I thought was outstanding value , compared to the price I would pay if I were to buy it on DVD from Amazon (£4.98 to be precise - saving £4.73).
Never Been Kissed is a Raja Gosnell film released in the United Kingdom on 27th August 1999. The film stars Drew Barrymore and David Arquette. Never Been Kissed comes under the following genres : comedy , drama and romance. Running time of the movie is one hundred and seven minutes (thirteen minutes short of two hours). The movie is a 12 certificate.
Josie is twenty five years old and is the copy-editor for the Chicago Sun Times. However , her dream is to become a reporter. In hope that her boss will allow her to be a reporter , she constantly sends ideas to her boss. One day at a meeting she is given the role of playing a student at her old high school ,whilst being an undercover reporter. Josie never fitted in at school when she was there the first time around , so what will happen when she goes back to school ? Watch Never Been Kissed to find out.
I found this movie really interesting to watch. I'm sure a lot of people would like to go back to school for a day or so to find out how things have changed. I found it interesting that Josie was considered a geek in school ; had no friends and had never had a boyfriend. However when she goes back to school it's completely the opposite for her now.
This film is so sweet and romantic. Josie falls for someone who falls for her too , but because of her being who she is and him being who he is , it's impossible for them to be together . If only he knew the truth! I just wanted to scream at the telly 'tell him!!' when I was watching it.
I'm sure absolutely everyone can relate to this film. It immediately gets you back thinking about your own high school things and makes you wonder what the whole school experience would be like now if you went back there. I found I kept comparing my 'high school days' to 'Josie's high school days!'
This movie is a real light hearted kind of movie which would be perfect for a sleepover or girls night in. However , to connect with it completely , I think that you would probably have to be someone who has left school , as the majority of the movie is comparing what school life was like. Although I'm sure a lot of people that are in school will connect with it too.
Advantages: Laugh a minute, fun, be a kid again Disadvantages: A bit cheesy at first
...good film I came across Never Been Kissed. As we usually do we looked it up on Ciao and found out that it looked to be our type of film. Plus the fact I could turn round to my husband and say "Never Been Kissed" at which we both looked at each other and laughed. It's like the joke where you say you're still a virgin when you know that's not true.
I'm going to try and not give too many spoilers away in my last film review I gave too many away and ... ...the film if you have never been kissed before you will feel ultimately that you are missing out on something. Something very good. This is a fun loving film with Drew Barrymore. At first it's a bit cheesy you sit there on your comfy settee wondering do I really want to watch this. Is anything going to happen? When's it going to start?
It starts with obvious cheesy comedy. You know the quick fire kind of comedy and some pretty poor lines that made ...

...A FILM-ONLY REVIEW
Never Been Kissed is an engaging romantic comedy starring Drew Barrymore as young Copy Editor and wannabe Journalist Josie Geller. When Josie's big break comes and she gets a chance to prove that she can write copy as well as edit it, there's just one small catch - she has to go undercover as a High School student, reliving the nightmare she had in school the first time round… (At school she was a geek who the other kids called, ... ...Robert (he never knew it would catch on), who was always popular at school. When the going gets tough for Josie in her undercover assignment, it's Robert (played by David Arquette) who comes to the rescue - despite thinking up that nickname he is actually a nice brother. What Josie didn't count on was that being a mature, confident woman doesn't actually help her cope in the school environment. Neither does she expect to fall for one of the students. ...

Advantages: really enjoyable romantic comedy Disadvantages: none that I saw
This has got to be one of the best films to be released in the past few recent years. Personally I am not a big film watcher – but my wee sister begged me to watch this film with her – and believe you me I have no regrets in doing so.
The film is all about Josie Geller (played by the wonderful Drew Barrymore), a 25 year old reporter with the Chicago Sun Times newspaper. Josie is at the stage now in her career that she wants to make in ... ...sends her on her first undercover assignment – which is to return to high school and try to find a story – her editor suspects that a lot of possible headline news stories could be found in a High School.
So Josie returns to High school, as a 17 year old again, wearing a hidden camera, (not an easy task to do), but as she does so all the memories of her own days at High school come flooding back – and they are far from pleasant. ...

Advantages: Phenomenal acting, well placed jokes, not too serious Disadvantages: Not exactly for a group of guys, but who knows!
The childhood for simple but intellectual Chicago Sun Times copy editor Josie Geller was always there to haunt her, even at the age of 25. Josie, known at one stage of her life as Josie Grossie, now has tried to put the past behind her and get on with her life, striving to become a reporter to reach her dreams. Her blood boiling boss gives her the chance for this giving Josie her first reporters assignment, one which can cause both excitement and ... ...is to step back into High School as an undercover reporter to uncover the world of teenage lives, hopefully this time however keeping 'Grossie' strictly in the past. After help from her friends at work and popular yet ambitionless older brother, Josie tries to remake her childhood high School experience and soon to become a popular hit with the students, surely the best way to find out the real dirt on the teenage lifestyle of the school. However ...

Advantages: 3-in-1, suitable for everyone Disadvantages: N/A
This is a fabulous combination of films - giving you the romantic comedy of 'First Daughter', starring Katie Holmes; then 'Just Married', with Brittany Murphy and Ashton Kutcher before finally ending with 'NeverBeenKissed', starring Drew Barrymore and David Arquette. My personal favourites are First Daughter and Just Married - depending on whether I want to watch something that makes me laugh and cry or just laugh!
I have only watched NeverBeenKissed once because I didn't find it funny and therefore didn't want to watch it again. However, if you are a fan of Drew Barrymore and high school fun your chances of finding this film amusing would be slightly higher than mine! There are amusing scenes and many awkward silences which add to the general humour of the dvd, but I personally found it childish and silly.
Just Married is ...
Advantages: Brilliant, a classic sci-fi movie Disadvantages: A little predictable.
DVD has a few extra bits in, the best being the automatic sentry guns. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
I'm not going to spoil the movie for those few that have never seen it, but if you are into science fiction or horror films then buy this DVD. It is incredible. Special features of the disk include the restored footage and some behind-the-scenes stuf.

At the time of writing, Woolworths have a special offer on DVD's. Buy 2 get 1 free. I managed to get all Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Alien Resurrection, The Fifth Element and NeverBeenKissed (4 the missus) for just under £68. The Alien box set costs £69.99 so in effect you get 2 free DVD's!!!!!! ...
Advantages: believable plot, good chemistry between leads Disadvantages: Goode's acting not 100% great at times
When I bought Chasing Liberty I wasn't looking to buy a DVD for myself... However I am a sucker for romantic comedies ever since falling in love with the film "NeverBeenKissed" and am forever looking out for more that are in the same league.
What I firstly noticed about the DVD cover was the couple on the front. I loved the way Moore's leg was laying over Goode's... so casual yet so full of meaning too. The backdrop of Europe was gorgeous too - as is Matthew Goode might I add!
This film is all about Anna Foster (Mandy Moore - singer and actress) who is the First Daughter - the President's daughter. She is a teenage girl who just wants to live and experience life like all other girls her age can. She want's to date, drink alcohol, go to clubs, and have fun but she is finding it impossible with her father's Secret Service ...
