Film Reviews

Mo wxxx Never Been Kissed
starring Drew Barrymore:
Now playing at Park and
Tilford Cinemas.

IT’S an almost univer-
sal fantasy: return to
high school, do it all
over again minus the
zits and the hideous
fashion sense, and mix
with the most popular
crowd in school.

Come on, admit it. I don’t
care if you're a doctor or a
dockworker: you have a
painful high school memory
that makes you wince to this
day, and you’d do anything to
go back and get it right.

25-year-old Josie Geller
(Drew Barrymore) gets her
second chance when she goes
undercover, in true 2] Jump
Street style, to report on what
makes today’s high school
kids tick.

Josie’s own high school
existence was like a bad
dream. We cajoy watching
this part of the film in partic-
ular, because even we didn’t
have it that bad.

But “Josie Grossic” has
redeemed herself ... kind of.
Sure, she’s never really been
kissed but she works for the
Chicago Sun-Times. Her sociai
life may revolve around her
turtles, but at least she has
her own apartment.

In short, Josie has never

been able to shed her scarlet
letter ... that’s a big “1.” for
loser. Her foray into those
sweaty halls is a huge failure.
The coolest guy in school
thinks she’s in special ed, the
three most popular senior
girls won't give her the time
of day, and the only friends
she makes are members of
The Denominators, a calculus
club with matching sweat-
shirts and all, Not exactly the
juicy exposé Josic’s editor had
envisioned.

Things change when
Josie’s brother Rob (David
Arquette) decides that if she
can do it, so can he. He fakes
some I.D. and enrols in the
hopes of this time making his
baseball dreams come truc.
After Rob attains instant in-
crowd status after he wins a
coleslaw-cating contest, he
spreads titilating rumours
about Josie that eventually
elevate her to prom-queen
status.

Throw in a taboo amount
of attention from onc of
Josie’s very cute teachers
(Michael Vartan as Mr.
Coulson, who apparently sees
the real Josie, right through
her Denominators sweat-
shirt), and things are looking
up. She might get kissed after
all but without blowing her’
cover he’ll get arrested. Now
there’s a story her editor can
use!

With a predictabls plot, by
far the best thing about Never
Been Kised is Drew
Barrymore, whose earnest
passion for her role is infec-
