Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
jamariana 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.
Fluke_Skywalker '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.
laura i recently been watching this as in 7 times in 2 days strange yes but i just love this movie. chase is played witty and funny to watch, nicole is the goody good, they just happen to live door to each other with opposite widows lols, its fun and easy to watch they dumped and she decides to take him to the dance to avoid humiliation, he agrees and along the way they happened to fall back into love with each other. it funny because they have known each other forever, used to date till his mum got cancer and died, along the way she falls for him and then alica try's to destroy her happiness, i wish there was a second movie for this about them and there perants :)
JustShutItOff For the most part, this is an average teen romantic comedy, with a ton of clichés, unrealistic elements, and a cheesy plot. The interesting part though is that this script was written by the brains behind Veronica Mars, Rob Thomas, and the connection is apparent. The dialogue is the best part of the movie, and you can almost picture much of it coming out of the mouth of Kristen Bell ten years later. Overall, it is a heartfelt story about choosing your own path in life and being true to yourself, even in high school. Plus there's the supporting role played by Ali Larter, way before she starred on Heroes, as well as Adrian Grenier years before he played Aquaman. Not to mention a young incarnation of The Donnas, here playing a band called the Electrocutes.
