Drive Me Crazy

1999 Comedy

Based on the novel, How I Created My Perfect Prom Date, by Todd Strasser, Drive Me Crazy stars Melissa Joan Hart as Nicole, a trend-conscious teenager living next door to Chase (Adrian Grenier), a self-conscious, downbeat type who reads poetry and spouts political platitudes. Needless to say, Nicole and Chase have nothing in common and little to say to each other. But when the boy of Nicole's dreams asks someone else to the prom, she decides to remake Chase into worthy date material as a way to make her old flame jealous. Before long, Nicole and Chase aren't just pretending that they like each other. Drive Me Crazy presented Sabrina, the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart in her first leading role in a feature film; it was produced under the title Girl Gives Birth to Prom Date and test-screened as Next to You before the producers settled on Drive Me Crazy. more..

Reviews

  • Slight and sweet, not a great high school movie but kinda nice, with appealing performances by Hart and Grenier.

  • When it comes to an ending, Drive Me Crazy offers no surprises, but it arrives there in amiable, sensible style.

    Lawrence Van Gelder - The New York Times

    19 January 2013

  • Succeeds in its modest way because its stars, Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier, are pleasant to be around.

    Mick LaSalle - The San Francisco Chronicle

  • A minimally tolerable excuse to splice one or two perfunctory scenes between song cues.
