Never Been Kissed

About This Movie

Never Been Kissed has this quirky charm, right? Drew Barrymore plays Josie, who’s sent back to high school undercover. It’s this odd mix of comedy and heartfelt drama, with a bit of that 90s teen flick vibe. The pacing kind of sways between laugh-out-loud moments and some surprisingly tender scenes. Raja Gosnell really captures that awkwardness of adolescence, which feels authentic. And there’s a nice balance with the supporting cast, especially her brother Rob who's a nice comic foil. The film tackles themes of self-acceptance and the pressures of fitting in, layered over that classic high school backdrop. The practical effects aren’t heavy, but there’s a certain sincerity that gives it a unique feel.
