DVD:    1/5

Drive Me Crazy is a typical teen romantic comedy, this one being a movie star vehicle for "Sabrina the Teen-Age Witch" star Melissa Joan Hart. In this movie she plays relatively popular girl Nicole Maris who is trying to get basketball hunk Brad Seldon (Gabriel Carpenter) to ask her out to the Centennial Dance.

Meanwhile her neighbor and former childhood friend Chase Hammond (Adrian Grenier) is one the school rebels. Chase is currently seeing bad girl Dulcie (Ali Larter) but she dumps him for some other retro-youth.

Nicole convinces Chase that they should become an item in order to make their former significant others jealous and perhaps get back together with their former loves. Naturally the pretend dating slowly becomes something much more than an act. There are complications from Nicole's back-stabbing friend Alicia (Susan May Pratt) but in the end the two teens realize that they like each other a lot.

The DVD includes the theatrical trailer plus four television commercials. There are also two music videos: Britney Spears' "Drive Me Crazy" and Jars of Clay's "Unforgetful You".

In the end there is nothing amazingly great about this movie. It's about typical for the genre and if you like Melissa Joan Heart that's another plus.
