Josie Geller, a baby-faced junior copywriter at the Chicago Sun-Times, must pose as a student at her former high school to research contemporary teenage culture. With the help of her brother, Rob, Josie infiltrates the inner circle of the most popular clique on campus. But she hits a major snag in her investigation -- not to mention her own failed love life -- when she falls for her dreamy English teacher, Sam Coulson.
Acting
Drew Barrymore's committed dorkiness sells every humiliating moment.
Costume
Peak 90s fashion crimes: butterfly clips, chokers, and THAT prom dress.
Writing
The 'wrongly accused of being cool' sequence is genuinely clever.
Director
Raja Gosnell
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Rufus' character was inspired by real 90s cool teacher archetypes, making Sam Coulson uncomfortably plausible.
Drew Barrymore produced this through her company Flower Films specifically to star in a rom-com where she controlled the narrative.
