Never Been Kissed
Directed by Raja Gosnell
Josie Geller, a baby-faced junior copywriter at the Chicago Sun-Times, must pose as a student at her former high school to research contemporary teenage culture.

But she hits a major snag in her investigation -- not to mention her own failed love life -- when she falls for her dreamy English teacher, Sam… From TMDB

60 of 76 · most liked firstI’m rewatching Never Been Kissed and like. This movie is actually creepy as fuck and aged like milk. Cause what do you mean her teacher is falling for what he believes is a 16 year old and then gets pissed off when he finds out shes actually an adult?? LOCK THAT MAN UP.

That's not the movie you want to remake. You remake the movie that you CAN do better. You don't remake something that's utterly perfect." ~ Rich Evans, star of The Ellen Show and Never Been Kissed

neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe The Wedding Singer? None of those guys are good guys! Julia should have run away with Billy Idol. I'd say Never Been Kissed, but it's maybe not a classic to those who didn't see every late '90s Drew Barrymore movie. The whole romance with the teacher, ick.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was looking for a movie to put on background while doing mind-numbing paperwork and as I was scrolling I came across Never Been Kissed, which I’d never seen and remembered people liking when it was released. As it turns out, it is unquestionably ONE OF THE MOST DERANGED MOVIES I have ever seen.

neutral · AI labelView post →I've just found out that Drew Barrymore's 1999 film Never Been Kissed has an awful lot of plot parallels with Stephen Chow's 1991 film Fight Back To School.... With that in mind, I'm surprised that NBK wasn't directed by Tarantino, though I bet he's desperate to make his own version

Now I wanna make a cat-starring rom-com named Never Been Licked... And theeeeere's my yearly reminder that Never Been Kissed was a real fucked up movie."

neutral · AI labelView post →Not only was “South Glen South High School” in the movie “Never Been Kissed” an underrated gag referencing the odd naming convention for suburban Chicago high schools, but it also implies the existence of South Glen North, North Glen North and North Glen South high schools in the movie’s canon.

neutral · AI labelView post →Day 15: Never Been Kissed Directed by: Raja Gosnell Rating: ★★☆☆☆ I legit set out to watch this because I heard the premise and it sounded creepy. And it is. It's so creepy. But aside from the brother character who adds major ick, the movie is stupid funny and cute...if unimpressive.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Never Been Kissed. I don't remember thinking it was the best movie when I watched it ages ago, but man did this one not age well. Teacher/student issues, stereotypes, sexism, it has it all. Paired with the awkward acting, I just couldn't find much to recover in this one. #MovieReview
negative · AI labelView post →The movie Never Been Kissed but the twist is that it’s progressively revealed that NO ONE at the school is actually a teenager except the teacher… which makes it an uncomfortable watch in a different way
