Details Movie Rated: PG-13; Genres: Comedy, Romance; With: Drew Barrymore and Michael Vartan; Distributor: Fox 2000 Pictures

For her big reporting break, copy editor Barrymore goes undercover as a high school student in Never Been Kissed. The quondam nerd infiltrates the cool clique -- a group of kids so cruel they probably make to-do lists of whom to bash. It's broad, eyes-crossed comedy, and about as flat as Barrymore in one of her many pratfalls. Of course, everyone learns a lesson in the end. And so do we: Drew's cuteness can get a movie only so far.

Reel Goodies Barrymore appears as dowdy Josie Geller -- a look bound to thrill anyone who harbors fantasies of her as a prison matron. The Last Detail Director Raja Gosnell's not-so-subtle hand will be at work on Martin Lawrence's upcoming ''Big Momma's House.''
