Irishchatter 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!
Saarah N You'll love this film if you appreciate light humour, a predictable plot and the message of staying true to yourself. A young woman, Nicole, wishes to avoid the ridicule of going to prom alone, so she enlists the services of her old friend and next door neighbour, Chase. Why do they decide to go together? So they can also make their true 'special someones' jealous. But they have to make it a good scam, of course, so they act all loved up before the actual prom. And they might just realise what true love is, who knows?I'm a fan of Melissa Joan Hart, so it comes as a forgone conclusion that I'll enjoy this film. The other leading role was also equally entertaining. A scam well-played? But who's scamming whom?
Python Hyena 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
warp9pnt9 I agree with another poster on every point, but this is simply not in the league of "The Breakfast Club". "TBC" was an edgy, clinical examination of philosophies and attitudes prevalent in the teen condition. The characters and issues seemed real, but the scenario was somewhat forced.On the other hand, the scenarios in "Drive Me Crazy" feel totally natural and believable. The characters and issues seem real enough from what I remember of high school. And as stated by the other poster, the character transitions are not shallow and immediate, but travel through many shades. As a result, perhaps fewer topics can feasibly be covered when compared those presented by "TBC". But we can not only forgive "DMC" for not being a monumental exploratory, but actually appreciate and enjoy the authenticity.The story is told with some class and taste that is rarely found in Hollywood today. The actors/actresses portrayed characters with a lot of warmth, humanity and in a dignified manner.
