Drive Me Crazy

DIRECTED BY: John Schultz

REVIEWED: 10-11-99

I'm a big fan of teen comedies, and being a dirty old man is only a small part of the reason why. It's primarily due to the film' constant preoccupation with the two things that really matter in this world: having a good time and getting laid -- concerns a lot more relevant to most of us than the plight of P.O.W.s or spouses dying of rare diseases (and the characters don't have to worry about pesky things like rent or fighting off super-smart sharks). Watching the hero of The Last American Virgin lose the girl to a handsome creep touched me way more deeply than any 10 Meryl Streep films, because I've been there (conversely, I've never had a child that was eaten by dingos). You're probably thinking, "When is he going to talk about Drive Me Crazy, the new teen comedy starring TV's Sabrina and that guy with really big lips?" Well, all I can say about this movie is that it's very, very bad, but since I've been having a hard time coming up with new and interesting ways of saying "it's very, very bad" every week, I figured I'd ramble on for a paragraph or two. Sue me.
