This movie started out slow, but it managed to pull it all together in the end.

This is another high school flick making an attempt at uncovering the uselessness of trying to be someone you're not.  Alvin Johnson has never quite fit in; he has a nerd-crew he hangs with, but it is his dream to get close the elitist of the elite, Paris Morgan (played by Christina Milian).  When Paris wrecks her Mom's car, the mechanically inclined Alvin takes advantage of the situation, offering to fix Paris's car and pay for the parts.  The only catch, Paris has to hang with Alvin for two weeks.  Well, he wanted a month, but they settled for the two weeks.  After all, he is kind of a geek!
Alvin and Paris end up becoming friends and she tries to change his image, and this is where the movie gets really good.  Christina Milian is an excellent actress; she manages to make the scenes in this predictable sequence (her finding him clothes and a new hairstyle) work really well.  She doesn't over act at all, and this makes the movie a breath of fresh air.
There is a great scene in this film, one that should become a classic:  Alvin and Paris are talking to each other (really listening too) and Alvin mentions that he almost had a college scholarship because of his mechanical abilities, but he wasn't able to get the final part for their automobile engine.  When Paris presses him for more information, she learns that he used all of his money (that  was supposed to be for the part) to fix her car, she truly begins to care for him, seeing the side of him she has ignored.
As I have said, this movie starts out slow but finishes strong.  I liked it a lot.  Christina Milian is one of the most beautiful girls on the screen right now.  She is also a great actress (LOL, you're not going to believe this - I had never even heard of her before this movie!...told ya you wouldn't believe it).
Now, is this movie for younger kids?  Nope, not unless you want your kids to see a Dad explaining to his teenage son how to put a condom on and score with the ladies.  Sixteen and up, only, in my opinion.
Enjoy the show.
See ya next review.

As a 90's high school girl, I remember watching this movie and I seriously wanted to do the road trip thing these girls did when my friends and I graduated from high school. Of course we never did what these girls did, but we had some pretty good adventures while still in high school.  I would say this movie is a template for the potential situations that could happen to some friends if they aren't wise to the reality of life after high school. Good times!

The characters in this include: The Team Pet, Foreign Exchange Student, Obsessed Best Friend, Token Black Guy, Popular Jock, Pretty Ugly Girl, Beautiful Weirdo, Perfect Girl, Desperate Virgin, Wannabe, Cocky Blonde Guy, Sensitive Guy, Cruelest Girl, & the Stupid Fat Guy. You'll probably recognise a lot of the characters from popular teen movies, or you will have gone to school with at least a few of them.

 Most of the movie is a parody of She's All That, although some 80s movies are slipped in, like Pretty In Pink, which I haven't seen, so I can't really compare. The other teen films they're spoofing (just about everything) include: Cinderella, Grease, Top Gun, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pulp Fiction, Clueless, The Craft, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, There's Something About Mary, Bride of Chucky The Faculty, Varsity Blues, Cruel Intentions, 10 Things I Hate About You, Never Been Kissed, American Pie, American Beauty, Road Trip, Scary Movie, Bring It On, Dude, Where's My Car?, Save the Last Dance (2001), Get Over It and probably loads more. (I can't think properly to name them all) But the prominent one is She's All That, with the names changed, but still similar.

 There's not many well known actors in this - I recognise the name Jamie Pressley from somewhere, but can't think where. The rest are actors trying to get their big break. There are a few cameos - the 'stupid fat guy' is apparently also in Varsity Blues. Sean Patrick Thomas appears, on the 'token black guy's' stomping ground, and promptly gets told where to go, and Melissa Joan Hart also appears for no apparent reason (that'll be the highlight of her career).

 Extras include: commentary, teen movie factoids track, 18 deleted scenes plus the film's original ending, "School's in Session" 3 behind-the-scenes featurettes, the unrated version of Marily Manson's "Tainted Love" music video (best extra), Joel Gallen's first short film "Car Ride", test your teen movie I.Q. (I did rubbish!), auditions montage, meet the cast promos and the Yearbook.

 I would suggest getting this movie if you're a fan of spoof movies or like teen movies in general. You will enjoy for that. If not, then don't buy it.

I love this movie. It's one of the best movies talking about high school and the different people we are with on a daily basis. This reminds me of my high school and breaking or trying to break into other social groups that were not what you were use to. I would recommend this movie to anyone. I loved it. And Jud Nelson is me then.

It's a good coming-of-age movie. I liked the acting from the BigBang members and the girl too. The movie is in widescreen but I don't mind. The subtitles do come in english only there are a few times where the phrases are backwards, I had already seen the movie online so I knew what they where suppose to say. The movie is good, and it has a good story and characters some people can relate to.

Watched this movie on DVD and loved it.  I remember it was on TV on Sunday Night movie back in 80s but for some stupid reason, my parents wouldn't let me watch it.  I am amazed I still remembered that movie, unhappy that I missed it because a friend bragged that she watched it the night before at school, and liked it.  I was still upset and got excited that it was on DVD.  Bought it and watched it.  There was nothing inappropriate for a 13-14 years old kid in it.  (Eyeroll).

It's just a weird, weird movie. It's funny, but in an uncomfortable way. I knew kids like this in high school. Maybe I was one of these kids in high school. *shudders*

Upon viewing it for the first time, I must say, I wasn't terribly impressed with Never Been Kissed. I don't know what it was, but on my 2nd viewing, I think I actually fell in love with the movie. No clue how or why that happened. All I know is that its a great inviting type of film that deals with real issues. Drew Barrymore is great in this. She is awkward and cute and funny all at the same time. Its a good role for her. I loved all the High School flashback sequences. It has such a great storyline and for a comedy based high school, its actually really good. There are quite a few unrealistic things pertaining to this movie, mostly with some of the students, some wardrobe issues, and other minor tidbits, but as a whole, it works and its very cute and touching.

Well the B in B grade here is for  boobs.  Yes, the acting is second class, yes the special effects are not very special, yes the story seems like it was written by a middle school class and yet I liked it.  The boobs certainly helped it along, then some thing weird happend, I wanted to see how it would end.  Guess what, it was a B grade movie ending.  I'm still laughing.

An excellent movie. It has many teaching moments in it. Every Junior High and High School Student should see it.

This isn't a movie..this is a high school quality film project that Amazon put online as a movie. I enjoy watching bad horror movies..but..this was a chore to watch.

The first time I saw this movie I fell inlove with all the great charcters. Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald, Annie Potts & "Ducky". This is a story of a high school where money doesn't mix with anything else but more money. Molly Ringwald plays a teenager whose father hasn't been inspired to excel since her mother left them years ago. They live a simple lifestyle on the wrong side of the tracks. Andrew McCarthy is the boy who has everything, except true classy friends, although they have tons of money. When he falls for Ringwald he has to face those who begin to snob him. But he's not the only one getting heat......Ringwald's best friend, Ducky, happens to be very much in love with her and fights with all he has, which isn't much, to win her for his future bride. Ringwald works in a record store where she'll get the best advice Annie Potts has ever offered up. This movie is funny, sad and inspiriational. If you like romantic comedy, you'll love this one.
