Never Been Kissed (DVD)

...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 ...
...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.

Review of Never Been Kissed (DVD)

...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 ...

It has the same old points that you will probably remember at school, you have the "popular" kids, "Geek" kids and the "Inbetweens", well Poor Josie gets flash backs of her school days and god do you cringe, your like "What the hell are you wearing??". She got treated badly at school and thinks the same thing is going to happen! I must take my hat of for the amazing performance though of ...

...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. ...

Review of Never Been Kissed (DVD)

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

...small town rag, 26 and never been kissed - in THAT way - as she explains to her friend in a dreamy yet earnest cameo which I really thought was touching. She now aspires to be a reporter, yet her ideas for assignments get given to other writers as her boss doesn't think she is up to the job of reporting. Well, the newspaper owner wants a story to outdo the rival who consistently manages to upstage them, and who is the only baby face on the crew? ...
...Her character, Josie Geller, goes undercover at the local High School, to do an exposé on the kids and the system. Unfortunately, Josie was a geek during her High School years and is haunted by ghosts from her past. Her brother (played by David Arquette) is a baseball wannabe with a lot of talent, who was always one of the popular kids. He re-enrols too, and in less than a day is part of the in crowd, and begins to tell tales of Josie's exploits ...

Review of Never Been Kissed (DVD)

I went to see Never been kissed at then cinema, but I saw it again yesterday on my VCR and I really enjoyed it. I forgot what a good film it was. The film is basically about Josie Geller (Drew Barrymore), A 25 year old copy editor for the Chicago Sun-Times. She is very successful after attending college. She even has her own personal assistant who seems to be more in control than her. He is bossier than her and even acts like she is his assistant. ...
...colleagues though that she has never been kissed and is still waiting for her one perfect kiss. Josie starts to remember awful things from her high school years. Her nickname for one thing “Josie Grossie” which funnily enough her brother made up. She wasn’t popular at all in high school, but longed to hang out with the ‘in crowd’. Josie swaps her fully loaded car for her brother Robs (David Arquette) old and tacky car ...

...familiar? Well that's essentially what Never Been Kissed is, nothing more, nothing less. However that doesn't mean it's a terrible film. Josie Geller (Drew Barrymore) is the youngest copy editor at a big city newspaper. She's not really taken seriously and her personal life is a disaster. She's never been kissed so the chances of anything beyond that are remote! But Josie lands an assignment as a reporter and her job is to get the scoop on what goes ...
...a geek in school but now she tries to be cool but it doesn't really work. That is until her cooler brother Rob (David Arquette) gets in on the act and makes her popular. Can Josie pull it off and what does she tell the teacher that she fancies when he finds out she's not a student? Well I'm sure you can guess what happens! I'd love to say that this is a bad film but I can't. It's not original but thanks to Drew Barrymore and David Arquette it does ...

...to quote a line in Never been Kissed, they say the best writers write what they know. So, this is what I know...... I know that Never Been Kissed has whatever it takes to be one such successful film. I know that high-concept major studio projects can sometimes hit upon that magic, even when they are calculatedly aiming for it all the while. It's a dicey business, though, and not something which can be legislated for. Fail, and the result will be ...
...(and couldn't) be the same. Never Been Kissed is no different in that respect. I know that at this point in time, there are few, if any, of her contemporaries who could pull this off with such aplomb. In other hands it might be embarrassing, clumsy.....still funny perhaps, but for all the wrong reasons. There is no irony at work here, and no need for it. Everyone plays it straight, just like a bona fide teen flick. And therein lies its magic. I know ...

It is, however, completely bogus. The teacher/love interest is completely unreal. He is the "cool" English teacher who plays hockey and somehow his classroom gets picked for the Sex Ed class. Of course, he hangs at some club where the student's gather and eat pot brownies. HELLO? Can ...

Even with the goofy clothes, her character gets witty lines making her like Romeo's Mercutio. And fifteen times more beautiful than Juliet. But, she knows math so, of course, Hollywood thinks she's a geek. Even Gary Marshall - a great cameo actor - has a stupid, ridiculous part as the head honcho at the newspaper who fires ...

The student-teacher relationship, how important popularity is and, most important of all, that there's more to life than high school. It actually makes you feel almost SORRY for the popular crowd because, for them, high school really IS the highlight of their lives and nothing will ever measure up.
