My favorite Semisonic movie moment is in the hilarious
(albeit extremely cheesy) Drew Barrymore romantic
comedy "Never Been Kissed". The song "Never You Mind"
is blasting at the high school party at David
Arquette's house. Unrealistic? Probably, but that's
why I love escapist romantic comedies.
BTW, this movie has some excellent musical moments,
including songs by Hole, Local H, Blind Melon, the
Beach Boys (when "Don't Worry Baby" is playing over
the end, I cry EVERY FRICKIN' TIME) and a sing-a-long
of "Free to Be You and Me"
