Drive Me Crazy (1999)

Not the greatest plot in the world, but the two lead characters are decent people, I guess. A bit odd how they hated each other so much in the start, but then at the drop of a hat were back to being close (like when they were kids) - even if there was a ruse of sorts involved. Anyway, I liked it. It's no masterpiece, but it does make for an enjoyable viewing.

My liking of this film is simple,here's why just the fact that in the end Melissa Joan Hart's character realizes that a lot of the thing's people are or were in high school don't matter to the outside world,in fact we are all nobody's, and therefore all equal's,some may go off to bigger and better thing's and college is kind of the same way it's not truly the real world some get caught up in it. All i'm saying is that in the end she realizes the truth in high school yea you might be someone in the real world though your just like everyone else trying to make it in the world trying to find your place or niche whatever that may be and it's real, those of us who are not clueless realize that at the moment she did(at the end or nearing the end of high school), and it's great that someone thought of that while writing the script or making the movie however it was discovered it was. The truest line she say's is "he will be winning award's on M.T.V while your still the local weather girl." That is not the only reason i liked it though but that's my favorite thing about the whole film realization not just imagination and truth from somewhere all of us know.

I really enjoyed this movie. It is like all Romantic comedies of course - and generally I am not a fan - but Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina the teenage witch) does a really good job portraying the romance. I thought the relationship was really authentic and believable. I felt actual chemistry between the couple. I gave it ten stars because it is easily worth the $5 that you pay to get this movie. I literally walked into blockbuster and picked it up for $4 tax included... If your looking for something that isn't predictable - than go for another genre b/c Romantic comedies are always predictable, and this movie is no exception. If you go into it with low expectations, you will be pleasantly surprised. I say, if your thinking about getting it - go for it!

This is one of the funniest movies around, the dialogue is so funny and it doesn't make them sound like they are child geniuses ( think Dawson's Creek), or have no personality like most teen flicks around. In this movie the characters actually have depth and they are not just your average cookie cutter characters.Chase is a funny, sarcastic outcast who is asked to go to the prom with Miss Teen Spirit, Nicole - a perky blonde (who is actually quite smart), as her date for the prom has backfired and now she has resorted to go with him rather than to go alone. Chase is stuck going with her in attempt to make his ex girlfriend jealous enough so that she will want him back. They both get to know each other again and realize so much that they never knew before.Sure this film might be considered a little dated in some of the scenes but the appeal of Adrian Grenier and the underlying messages in the film are more than enough to make you like it. Melissa Joan Hart looks too old to be playing a teenager but Adrian Grenier is very good as Chase Hammond, he brings character and depth into his character and is very convincing.No other teen movies are very much like this anymore, Cinderella Story, How to Deal, Raise your voice don't even compare to this movie. It has a lot of heart, and the characters are very likable and believable. Don't let the age of the movie fool you, it is really one of the better teen flicks around.
