'Drive Me Crazy' is one of those movies where every scene transition starts with a 30 second snippet of a bad pop rock song blaring at full volume (The soundtrack is quite bad, save for the title track and "Stranded" by Plumb). There isn't an ounce of originality. Every box is checked off and you know exactly where it's going well before it gets there. That's not necessarily a fatal flaw if it can entertain (or at least divert) along the way, and 'Drive Me Crazy' does, if marginally. Most of the credit goes to stars Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier. The former has less range than a spitball, but she uses her spunky Clarissa/Sabrina thing to good effect here as a character we're supposed to like and root for, even though she's the Type-A popular go-getter. Grenier similarly could've just been "the guy" in the movie, but he brings far more to his role than was there on the page.We get a severely underdeveloped subplot with Hart's absentee Father (a third billed Stephen "Sleazeball" Collins, who is in it all of two minutes) and an out of nowhere romance between the two lead character's parents, leading to a somewhat cringeworthy finale. But it's light and bouncy, and at times even surprisingly sharp in its observations about social classes. Throw in a few chuckles and some likable performances all around and you have, not the best the genre has to offer, but certainly not the worst.

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.

Drive Me Crazy is the new Comdedy Romance film directed by John Schultz its about popular high school student Nicole Maris (Melissa Joan Hart) who plays a charade with grungy nextdoor neighbour Chase Hammond (Adrian Grenier) after being dumped for the prom, there charade fast turns to a love that neither expected, also starring Susan May Pratt and Ali Larter.Drive Me Crazy actually wasn't a bad film for your typical high school romance movie, it did have good and believable acting in it. Melissa Joan Hart still seems like that young girl from Clarissa Explains It All. I have always been a fan of Ali Larter and she played a good role as the bad girl, the only reason it wasn't great is because I have seen better of this type of film its all be done before.
