At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

My Date with Drew isn't just a movie about a guy trying to get a date with a celebrity crush, it's a film about taking chances and reaching for seemingly unattainable goals. You can't help but grin as the goofy protagonist goes about his quest. This is a heartwarming and uplifting documentary.

So a guy borrows a video-camera and makes a documentary about how he gets a date with Drew Barrymore in 30 days. His friends help and it becomes a big production. Unfortunately, this guy's sad attempt at breaking into show business isn't very interesting. Basically, they keep calling people in Drew's outer circle of gatekeepers in the hope of getting a lunch date with her. They do crash an event, and the guy says "Hi" to her, but is too overcome with her stardom to ask her out. Then they reenact the meeting because they didn't bring a camera into the event. I'm sure Drew is a wonderful person but pleeeease - she's not a goddess! So when they fail to get the date within 30 days they keep going (cheating!) until she eventually hears about it and decides she'd like the free publicity (and IMDb credit!). How is this even mildly entertaining?

I love this film. In my eyes it is perfect. I think that the production, narration, and people are amazing. I really loved how throughout the whole film he stressed how hard it is to get contact with someone as famous as Drew by the degrees of separation. His vulnerability and commitment to make something of himself in the business and make a dream come true in the process is genius. The greatest part about it, is that you as a regular joe schmoe can relate and really feel for him. When he was down you were very down with him. And when he finally got his date with Drew and felt that amazing high, I was right there with him and roaring with laughter and crying at the same time because I felt the relief and touching-ness that Drew gave him. And even better Drew herself really is this amazing kind and caring person who was flattered and I'm sure very excited herself. It was a real romantic comedy that no screenwriter could ever duplicate. Because at the end, he doesn't truly get the girl, but you still feel like he did.

Extremely amateurish "faux-reality-show" or "home-movie" feel. Total waste of time. We "rented" this as one of our monthly "freebies" from Blockbuster and it wasn't even worth the effort to get it. We groaned even as we fast forwarded through the really bad parts. Moved slower than molasses. The description on the cover suggested a real movie, so it was completely disappointing when it turned out to be someone's poorly done home movie. I will be looking to avoid anyone that had anything to do with this picture in the future - if this is their sense of movie-making or of entertainment, I want to stay clear. Don't waste your time.
