SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Perfectly adorable

An Exercise In Nonsense

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Brian Herzlinger is my new personal hero! If you don't see the purity and genius behind this project you have issues. Everyone in the world has at least one person they are in awe of. For Brian, it was Drew Barrymore. So one day he got the idea to go ahead and make a documentary about his ideal person. Whether you have issues with credibility or how much help the production crew received in making this film, you have to agree this took a lot of courage on his part. At worst he could have been arrested at the outset as a stalker, with the current level of security around celebrities in Hollywood. If you don't believe this took vision, skill, and commitment you should try it yourself. Rent a video camera from circuit city and set out to pursue any sort of film. With a handful of friends and the drive to get it done Brian succeeded where millions of others would have failed. I salute Brian and his entire crew for giving those of us who simply sit in theaters such a wonderful gift. The first time I watched Brian relate his call from Nancy to Jon I felt pure joy. I haven't felt that in a long time. I can't recall the last time I felt that way watching a movie. This film is about hope, goals, dreaming. What could possibly be wrong with that? Do yourself a favor, if you haven't seen My Date with Drew, rent it. If you've already seen it once, I suggest you now buy a copy. Keep your copy in a safe place, and make sure your children, grandchildren, and their children see it. Preserve it for the future.

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 rate movies 1 when I feel like turning it off, which was many times during this film. I didn't, though it seemed to get worse...He wins a grand, decides to get a date with Drew, the whole movie follows him throughout a very long 90mins and thats it.There were some entertaining moments, but a movie about a guy getting a date with a celbrity is all you're going to see and how knowing someone who knows someone else might know Drew.Eventually a website is made, which catches Drew's business partners attention, and Drew herself.Don't watch unless you want to see this excuse for a movie.

Brian Herzlinger is a normal Joe trying to 'get a date with Drew Barrymore' in 30 days in this cloying 'Documentary'. Whether this is a stalker's attempt to desperately get a date with a actress he adores, or a clever ploy to jump start some sort of career for Herzlinger (I'm thinking more the latter), the fact remains that whichever it is, te film is manipulative at best and slightly alarming at worst. And if it WERE the former, rather then the latter, all the likability of Brian flies out the window as no matter how charismatic a stalker may be, the fact remains that they ARE in fact stalking someone. And if this movie inspires even one REAL stalker (and as I said before this film is a sham and a PR ploy), but if the film inspires a REAL stalker that would be quite a shame indeed. I can't recommend this film on entertainment ground, I can't recommend it on documentary grounds, and I certainly can't recommend it on ethical grounds.My Grade: D
