It's hard not to like Drew Barrymore in this, as contrived and silly as the script it. It does remind one of some 80s classics like Pretty in Pink or Breakfast Club. Barrymore remembers her painful past as a dorky outcast high schooler, who can now re-do her past, as a 'cool girl', by posing as a new student at a high school to do an expose journalism story. It's hard to imagine Barrymore, with her elegance, playing 'dorky' but her performance is probably one of her best, I found myself rooting for her in the 'cliff-hanger' type finale.
