Never Been Kissed 1999

Is everyone ignoring the whole statutory rape vibe of this movie?
Great acting though

I have to say.. it was very uncomfortable watching this movie.

Despite finding Josie's character painfully relatable in some ways, I didn't really enjoy this much. I'm a sucker for the 90's fashion and music, but beyond that there wasn't much to like.
Realistically, the whole motivator for the plot doesn't make sense; the reason for her to be "undercover" is so harebrained. At no point does she have an interesting angle or meaningful lead on a story. This is mostly because the moment she walks in, she basically forgets why she's there and starts making googly eyes at the most popular boy in the school, seemingly just because he is the most popular boy in the school. She is consistently naive to the point of folly.
Josie is a great demonstration of the difference between being intellectual and smart.

cool movie, could have been better if they had James Franco play the high school kid she dated

It was very uncomfortable to watch, it was a movie that aged poorly, there are better options to watch, I don't like teacher x student affairs, it's disgusting.

When I jog on the treadmill I generally prefer to watch crappy rom coms. At some point I probably need to get out of this habit as I am running out of ones that aren't putrid like this movie is. Its freaking Drew Barrymore - how can you possibly mess it up? Seeing her play a cringy high schooler is absolutely brutal. And the script.... so, so bad. It was like driving by a car crash. David Arquette should have been arrested for impersonating an actor (or worse, portraying a high school student despite the fact he looks 40).

The dress code isn't timeless but the nastiness of high school sure is. Been a good while since I first saw this film and Drew is just as charming. The cringe moments gave my such second hand embarrassment I had to look away. Bless her heart.
Watching as an adult the love connection does seem a bit problematic now but it wasn't acted upon so don't see why people are getting so pressed.
Two people fell in love and in the end that was okay! Just embrace it!
