"Never Been Kissed," a 1999 romantic comedy produced by Fox 2000 Pictures and Bushwood Pictures, captures the essence of high school nostalgia and the universal quest for love and acceptance. Directed by Raja Gosnell, the film stars Drew Barrymore as Josie Geller, a shy and awkward copy editor at the Chicago Sun-Times who gets the chance to go undercover as a high school student to write a groundbreaking story. The film cleverly juxtaposes Josie's adult perspective with her teenage insecurities, creating a heartfelt narrative that resonates with audiences of all ages. The plot thickens as Josie navigates the treacherous waters of high school once again, this time with the added pressure of her professional assignment. Her mission becomes complicated when she develops feelings for her English teacher, Sam Coulson, played by Michael Vartan. This subplot adds a layer of complexity to the film, as Josie struggles with the ethical implications of her growing affection. The chemistry between Barrymore and Vartan is palpable, drawing viewers into Josie's emotional journey and rooting for her to find happiness. One of the standout elements of "Never Been Kissed" is its ability to blend humor with poignant moments of self-discovery. Josie's interactions with her fellow students, particularly her friendship with the popular Guy Perkins (Jeremy Jordan) and the quirky Aldys Martin (Leelee Sobieski), highlight the film's themes of friendship and personal growth. The comedic scenes, such as Josie's disastrous attempts to fit in and her brother Rob's (David Arquette) antics, provide levity and balance the more serious undertones of the story. Ultimately, "Never Been Kissed" is a testament to the power of self-acceptance and the courage to embrace one's true self. Josie's transformation from a timid journalist to a confident woman who finally experiences her first kiss is both inspiring and heartwarming. The film's enduring appeal lies in its relatable characters and its message that it's never too late to find love and happiness, making it a beloved classic in the romantic comedy genre.
