Motor racing has a regal status here and its winners are kings of the F-1 track.

Star
Movies brings Never Been Kissed,, on Thursday at 9 pm. Drew
Barrymore stars as Josie Geller, a bright, young copy editor at the Chicago
Sun Times. She has never had a relationship and, as she says, she’s
never been kissed! In an assignment on American teenagers, she is
asked to go undercover as a student at a local high school. But even
in her student days Josie was a dorky kid and has no idea how to fit
in with the cool crowd. With some help from her brother Rob (David
Arquette) she gets an entry into the hep crowd. But just as she starts
making headway with her story, her editor scraps it and wants her to
do a feature on the improper relations between teachers and students.
This becomes a problem as Josie has started developing feelings for
her teacher Mr Coulson (Michael Vartan). This forms the basis of the
film that tugs at your heart with its romantic twists and turns. — NF
