Drew Barrymore’s virtuoso performance smooths over the plot holes.
08/07/07
Top CriticThe most exhilarating American movie I have seen this year -- which isn't saying much.
04/27/07
Top CriticThe material is pretty much the same as She's All That and the other recent high school movies, but Barrymore has the big screen stuff to pull it off.
05/26/06
Barrymore again displays her remarkable ability to get the audience rooting for her singular blend of vulnerability and sunny optimism.
01/26/06
This is an okay date flick. It's somewhat forgettable, like high school should be, but possessing a few moments it'll be tough to get out of your head.
12/06/05
A surprisingly solid and entertaining teen flick
04/09/05
The less Never Been Kissed forces its material, the more enjoyable it is.
06/12/03
Barrymore demonstrates an acute sensitivity to the angst of adolescence, and handles it with kid gloves.
05/14/03
Have you noticed yet that there's really no point to this story?
02/08/03
The deft script and solid performances turn what could have been empty piffle into remarkably entertaining piffle that'll leave you smiling.
11/07/02
Never Been Kissed, like so many coulda-shoulda-woulda-been-good movies, starts out strong. Then it loses its nerve in the third act, substituting a fuzzy emotional spectacle for a coherent conclusion.
10/15/02
Thanks to Barrymore's goodhearted presence, Josie's comic emotional journey has plenty of mass appeal.
09/09/02
This kind of dippy, silly drivel has no right to succeed, yet it does...
03/24/02
Drew Barrymore has been well cast as someone who doesn't act her age.
03/22/02
Top CriticThe script efficiently contrives a spiral of dilemmas and challenges to bring about Josie's ultimate blossoming.
03/05/02
The heart-affecting finale of Never Been Kissed turns the sports shrine of the pitcher's mound into a shrine for love.
03/04/02
Do nineties filmmakers forget what it was like to be a teenager, and call upon "Saved By the Bell" reruns for a refresher course?
