Resume: Never Been Kissed is a romantic comedy about Josie Geller, a copy editor for the Chicago Sun-Times. At twenty-five, Josie is longing for a real connection with a man who'll kiss her for the first time. When she is tasked to enroll into a high school for a story, Josie struggles to make friend with the popular kids while falling for her English teacher.

Review: Never Been Kissed is a teen comedy that brings a new perspective about regrets, starting over and letting go of the past. This movie might be a little stereotyped, but it's also all around entertaining and heart-warming.

For me, Josie Geller is extremely relatable. She embodied the awkward, quirky, nerdy girl some of us were in high school. Barrymore is a solid lead as Geller. She is making her a very sensitive and likable character. Also delivering solid performances, Molly Shannon as Anita and David Arquette as Rob Geller. Shannon is very funny and provides plenty of laughs while Arquette impersonates perfectly college drop-out Rob.

With the interesting premise and Barrymore's charisma and charm, the movie is a good watch. The rest of the cast is filled with actoers who deliver good performances. Leelee Sobieski is particularly memorable as Aldys, a high school nerd with a big heart.

Overall, Never Been Kissed provides a good message to teenagers; life's bigger than high school and it won't matter if you were popular or not once you leave school. Josie is dragging us along in her quest to find herself. That movie will make you reflect on your high school years (if you graduated already) and how you were treated or treated people.

I would definitely recommend Never Been Kissed to any romantic comedy lovers and especially fans of Drew Barrymore because she is really shining in this flick.
