Even though we are seeing Sabrina's Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier in this to fall in love, it turns out that this film disappointed me! The reason that is because, I didn't feel the story line to flow or made it easier for me to enjoy looking at it!It's just a story about a bad boy who falls for a smart girl because of her looks and this story ends with them being happily ever after. BORING! We have heard of this before like seriously, this movie should've been redone. It's just awful, I would avoid watching this even if you were like me, a fan of the Sabrina the teenage witch show!

Drive Me Crazy (1999): Dir: John Schultz / Cast: Melissa Joan Hart, Adrian Grenier, Stephen Collins, Ali Larter, Susan May Pratt: Mindless exercise about an emotional act of love and those knots that bind in our stomach that are this close to heaving lunch from three weeks ago. It is meant as a starring vehicle for Melissa Joan Hart with an opposites attract formula that died this very year when they released She's All That. The dumber than dumb plot has Hart and Adrian Grenier as next door neighbors recently dumped by ex's and pretend to date each other. Any moron can see the outcome of this without binoculars. The rest is predictable with every teen movie cliché available. Director John Schultz does his best while some set pieces provide amusement, but that doesn't save an absolutely recycled storyline. Hart and Grenier are going by the motions and nothing they do sparks anything interesting. It goes without saying that their bedroom windows are speaking distance away. This is a lame plot device that totally makes everything convenient for lazy writers. Stephen Collins of 7th Heaven fame makes an appearance but it isn't likely one that will be remembered upon any career retrospective. Ali Larter also shows up to wade through material traveled by hundreds of others before her. This is all totally recycled crap that is likely to drive you crazy. Score: 3 / 10

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.

Let's take a break from the big screen in your living room and imagine a little film of your own: A meeting. Directors, producers, writers, possibly some interested actors, all seated around a table. A burly man-in-charge glares fiercely at his underlings as they all scribble furiously, shuffle papers, and try not to meet his eyes. "A plot," he suddenly shouts. "We need a plot! Something original! Clever! Innovative! You!" he cries, pointing at a suddenly pale lackey. "Give me a plot!" The lackey shakes, his pen dropping from his suddenly lax fingers, and after a long, painful pause, whispers, "How about...She's All That? But with the roles...switched?" There is no other explanation for this movie.Only an overeducated, money-obsessed, scared-out-his-wits idiot could have thought of this. Ms. Popular beautifies a Mr. Loser, for her own gain, thus catapulting him into popularity? No other possible explanation.It is only out of pity for the poor lackey that I do ask you to RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! AVOID AT ALL COST! Should a desperate man in a rumpled suit offer YOU money to watch this movie, TURN HIM DOWN! Then again, screw pity. Follow my advice, for your own good.
