Never Been Kissed

The 50 Best Rom-Coms
Written By Nathan Chandler
Drew Barrymore and Leelee Sobieski in Never Been Kissed (1999)

★★

I hadn't seen Never Been Kissed since high school and I think I should have left it at that. What happened to my generation in the '90s to think that romantic relationships between adults and teenagers were okay? I know that it was a different time, but yeesh. I've always liked the charm of Drew Barrymore, but she's not enough to save this desperate plot. This movie sets back investigative journalism for decades. But it is fun to see early appearances by actors before they made it big (Octavia Spencer, Jessica Alba, James Franco).
