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 sel... read more read more...f-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. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Pre-Entourage Adrian Grenier.....cute!! so is this movie.

    I first watched this movie when I was 10 years old. I just watched it again, and I could've sworn this movie didn't used to be so lame. Like seriously, I saw this movie on Netflix and I was like "Oh yeah! I used to love that movie! It's awesome!" Then I watched it and it was real... read morely, really lame. Bad writing, bad story, bad everything. I guess when I was 10 I didn't pay attention to that stuff. It's kind of disappointing in a way though; one of the movies I thought I loved as a kid turns out to be one of the stupidest movies ever made. It's really sad and depressing when you think about it.

    A teen flick with the feel of something from the 80's. It was a fun story and I really liked the casting.

    The stars are only for the montage at the end.

    This movie would be so incredibly awesome if I were an incredibly ugly and unpopular teenager with no interest in sex. And Melissa Joan Hart's lazy eye? Mmm, mmm, mmm...

    Great funny about two mismatched teens who scheme to make their ex's jealous.
  • June 14, 2006
    Kinda funny; okay in my book.
  • December 13, 2011
    Drive Me Crazy tends to suffer from being a run-of-the-mill, generic teen movie with the same old teenage problems and the same old storybook of tying loose ends. The same pieces are all present, including the jocks, the social outcasts, the preppies, and the sluts. However, to b... read moree fair, these pieces are far more articulate than the average set of teenage comedy dwellers.

    You'll only like this if you grew up with Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina the teenage witch or Clarissa. Pity about the Britney track.
  • June 13, 2009

Drunken teens in a story stretched way too thin. Full Review

Vivacious fun....an impressive effort from Joan Hart

The story, based on a book, is incredibly vapid, but both leads are charming and have great potential.

Despite its terrible title "Drive Me Crazy" proves more substantial than bubble gum. The story is less comedy than drama, populated by teenage characters who are - you had better sit down for this - b...

The film is little more than adequate, not a total washout, but nothing that hasn't been recycled a thousand times before, and done more ambitiously. Full Review

It's getting that I literally can't tell the teen movies apart any more. Full Review

Even if their acting in this movie isn't much, Hart and Grenier seem to be having a good time. Too bad the same can't be said of most of the audience. Full Review

solid acting and dialogue, but no unpredictable twists. Full Review

The film has its own quieter appeal. Full Review

The fact that I was waiting for a Britney Spears song to play speaks volumes about how incredibly boring this film is. Full Review
