1999                                  Never Been Kissed



   Everyone loves a feel good movie.  The kind of movie that ends well and makes you look forward to your own future.    I just watched one that's high on my list.

    directed by Raja Gosnell and starring Drew Barrymore, David Arquette, Michael Vartan, Leelee Sobieski, Jeremy Jordan, Molly Shannon,Garry Marshall, and John C. Reilly.

    Josie Geller (Drew Barrymore) is a copy editor for the Chicago Sun-Times who has never had a real relationship. One day, her editor-in-chief, Rigfort (Garry Marshall) assigns her to report undercover at a high school to help parents become more aware of their children's lives.

     The movie is a total  "chick flick " but there is enough content in it that you can get your man to watch it with you.  It's the kind of movie you want to curl up on the couch with or lay in bed watching on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Drew Barrymore plays the innocent role very well and is totally believable . David Arquette rocks the supporting actor role to the Tee. Molly Shannon takes her comedic role to great heights and you just want to smile with her . 

     Watching the movie  elevated by belief in the love and the happily ever after model that we so desperately want to cling to.  Drew Barymore who is beautiful really projected being average in this film.  I'm imagining it was hard for her to down play her obvious stardom.  At the end I just felt privileged to be loved and to know what it was like to have and want love.....and that's what I saw " In the movies "
