Never Been Kissed Review
by Mark O'Hara
Raja Gosnell's 'Never Been Kissed' is a slick and likable film, a formulaic but ultimately satisfying romance targeted toward you, if you are part of the 18-34 demographic that causes Hollywood directors to look over their shoulders at every gag and...more

Drew Barrymore is beginning to corner the market on playing the girl outside - the one who's the awkward klutz or the spunky do-it-yourselfer; the one who just doesn't fit in with the others. more
