When Josie's first investigative writing assignment calls for the young-looking journalist to masquerade as a 17-year-old at her alma mater, Josie must confront her inner geek, reverting back to the 'Josie Gross-y' persona of a cruel high-school taunt.īut let's not get carried away here. True to its title, 'Never Been Kissed' casts Barrymore as the lovelorn and languishing Josie Geller, a punctilious newspaper copy editor more attuned to the niceties of subject-verb agreement than to the seductions of a social life.

Barrymore shows she is not afraid to hide her glamour under a frizzy wig or a goofy set of dental appliances. (At least I do.) And the young comedienne's screwball flair is not to be underestimated either. You just want to wipe the tears away from her baby-fat cheeks and give snookums a big old hug.

The film itself, serviceably directed by Raja Gosnell ('Home Alone 3') is not much to look at, except when Barrymore lights up the screen, and fortunately that is often enough. Hey, the lady knows a nice gig when she sees one. The executive producer of the latest showcase for Barrymore's fairy tale charisma? Drew Barrymore. Last year, there was her new-wave Cinderella to Adam Sandler's Prince Charming in 'The Wedding Singer' the authentic fairy tale Cinderella of 'Ever After' and the unwed-mother Cinderella of the slightly twisted 'Home Fries.' Now, she's starring as a high-school Cinderella in 'Never Been Kissed,' a warm and funny, peaches-and-cream-sweet comedy about a 25-year-old nerd who gets to relive her senior year and reinvent herself while on an undercover reporting assignment about teenagers for the Chicago Sun-Times. Lately, princesses are all she's been playing.
