Last night, I was in the mood to watch a classic teen rom-com movie. When I was a kid, I used to see the trailer many times of Drive Me Crazy. For the first time, at the age of 29, I watched the movie. Here’s my review of the movie.
First of, the film is starring Melissa Joan Hart, Ali Larter and Adrian Grenier. During that time, Melissa had a hit show Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. As for Adrian, It’s funny to see him in Drive Me Crazy because I recently began binge watching Entourage. I’m enjoying it so far. Anyway, back to the subject. This is not one of those Oscar caliber movies. It’s a cult classic. I mean that in a good way. We all like movies that we know it’s not good, but you enjoy watching it. Some movies are not meant to be taken so seriously.
Drive Me Crazy had some good moments in the movie. Melissa’s performance wasn’t so strong in my opinion. As for the ending, I didn’t like it very much. I just didn’t think the writers should’ve added about the parents moving in together in the treehouse. I get that they’re not married but I feel that could’ve been written way better.
I learned something about this movie that I didn’t know before. The movie was originally called Next to You. It all changed because of Britney Spears’ “You Drive Me Crazy.” The song inspired the title of the movie. The film grossed 22,593,409 worldwide, against an $8 million budget.
