Pretty Appropriate Title... "Drive Me Crazy"

Drive Me Crazy (1999)

Rated PG-13

Starring Melissa Joan Hart, Adrian Grenier

Directed by John Schultz

The Story:

Nicole (Hart) is dumped by her boyfriend a month from the big dance.  What's a girl to do?  Turn to next door neighbor, Chase (Grenier) and pretend to be going out so that they can make their exes jealous.  Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with that plan?

If you've seen this movie once, you've seen it a thousand times.

The problem, after a thousand times, you remember the better versions of the story and so when something comes along that's less than the best?

Well...

Boredom sets in.

Normally, I'm a fan of Melissa Joan Hart, but even she couldn't save this one from treading water.

If I'm going to spend 90 minutes of my life in high school again, it's going to be with just about any other movie.

Final Grade: C-

Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No thanks, nothing would make me want this one again, not even as background noise.
