...relationships like American Beauty and Drive Me Crazy never seeks to poke its greasy haired head even an inch above the parapet of emotions.
That it has no pretensions to high art or statements is probably to its eternal credit, but that doesn’t mean to say that it really benefits from the stance. I mean, all it does is prevent the people responsible looking totally stoopid.
You get all the standard cliches, like the school prom, girls fighting ... ...least compensates for a night lacking in anything happening ... sorry but that’s about all I can say in favour of Drive Me Crazy, and even that’s a pretty shallow line because you never get much more than the odd bit of neck and one shot of Hart’s unbulging cleavage. ...

Advantages: lighthearted teen flick, nice ending Disadvantages: Not earth moving
Once upon a time when I got my first flat, I watched a program from the start, that program was ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’. I felt from that point on that Melissa Joan Hart was really good. I just liked her style, the way she was and found it really odd that she was the same age as me playing a girl at school; guess I’m not the only one who can pass for younger than what she is? After that, when ever I saw a film that she was in, I was interested ... ...‘Drive me Crazy’. Enjoy, M xxx
What’s the film about?
It’s about a girl called Nicole and a guy named Chase who couldn’t be more opposite and live next door to each other. Nicole is popular, in the ‘in’ crowd and is known by everyone. She is smart, beautiful and looking to get asked the senior dance by the head of the basketball team. All looks like it is going to plan till Brad (Our basketball dude) falls for another girl and poor Nicole ...

Advantages: Melissa Joan Hart ~ Sabrina! Disadvantages: Bad acting, storyline and performance
...Featuring Briteny Spears single, 'You Drive Me Crazy' the combination of pop music used is c**p. Hence, Briteny Spears single was the title of the film, Melissa Joan Hart also stars in the video of the track too.
Many people have compared Melissa's role of Nicole to Cher from Clueless, again another US teen romance, chic flic film! This film is no where as near as good as that one though!
Finally, I'll conclude with 'This Film Drives Me Crazy'. ... ...nice girly night in, although you may want this one, I say don't bother, there are many others available and as for buying it, don't even go there! The only positive thing about the whole film is the appearance of Sabrina! ~ Who I hope to see in films in the future! Thanks for reading. ~M~ ...

Advantages: um.... Disadvantages: where do I start?
...film, just don't. Oh and yeah, the ending is predictable, but as you're not going to watch it, that shouldn't matter!
This movie's main selling point was that Britney Spears' 'You Drive Me Crazy' was the theme tune. That should tell you just about all you need to know... ...

Advantages: great if you like this kind of film Disadvantages: slow at times
...become one of my favourites. Drive Me Crazy is no exception.
I would say one thing of this film, and that is it gets better the more times you watch it. The first time you see it you'll think "god, not another teen movie". But re-watch it and you'll notice witty one-liners and stupid things that make it that bit special. There are so many teen movies now they all blur into one, but this has a more 'edgy' style, mainly down to the clever casting ... ...good Brit-pop and rock going on too). There'd be no prizes won for originality (and definitely not for costume design) but at least the characters in this aren't clean-cut perfect little preppy american kids that you know wouldn't exist in real life. These teenagers get drunk, act like idiots, only care about one thing and stab each other in the back at regular intervals. So many of these American films are so far-fetched because everyone's so rich ...

DVD Description
Another entry into Hollywood's late-1990s onslaught of romantic comedies set in high school, starring Hart as Nicole Maris, an attractive, well-liked student who is on the organizing committee for her school's upcoming Centennial Celebration. Grenier is Chase Hammond, Nicole's next-door neighbor and ex-buddy. Realizing that they might be dateless for such an important event - this is high school, remember - they decide to team up and convince everyone that they're dating, creating a burning jealousy that will most certainly send their real objects of desire running back to them with open arms.
