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.
Thanks for reading! January 26th Xdonzx
