Everything You Forgot About Never Been Kissed

With Rob vouching for her—perhaps the truest line uttered in the movie is when he tells Josie, "All you need is for one person to think you're cool, and you're in. Everyone else will be scared to question it,"—she scores a popular date to the big dance, the title of queen and the chance to finally yell out, "I'm not Josie Grossie anymore!" But she blows her own cover when she spies the mean girls trying to douse Aldys with dog food Carrie-style. 

Everyone's a little weirded out, but no one more so than Mr. Coulson who seemingly realizes in tandem that it's suddenly okay that he was crushing on a student and that, whoops, he was totally crushing on a minor. 

We're not saying it's without its troubling moments. The so-called dream guy, whose name is actually Guy (Jeremy Jordan), refers to unpopular girls as "dogs", and the school clearly has very lax admission standards. But the overarching message about how it's cool to be yourself is sweet. And the whole teacher falling for a student storyline is made more palatable by the winning charms of Michael Vartan.
