My Date with Drew

[Dob]

Anyone seen this?

I watched it over the weekend, and loved it.

a quick plot summary from IMDB

Ever since the second grade when he first saw her in E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Brian Herzlinger has had a crush on Drew Barrymore. Now, 20 years later he’s decided to try to fulfill his lifelong dream by asking her for a date. There’s one small problem: She’s Drew Barrymore and he’s, well, Brian Herzlinger, a broke 27-year-old aspiring filmmaker from New Jersey. But that doesn’t stop Brian and his film school pals from doing everything they can think of to convince Barrymore to go out with him - and documenting their quest along the way. Equipped with a video camera they have to return to Circuit City in 30 days and the $1,100 Brian won on a game show (where the winning answer was, prophetically, “Drew Barrymore”), they’ve got one month to accomplish their mission.

My initial reaction is that a broke 27-year-old aspiring filmmaker from New Jersey already has a better shot at dating Drew Barrymore (or at least getting on IMDB talkling about it) than a divorced 43-year-old city power plant employee from Ohio or a 19-year-old electric-bass playing trust-fund baby from Connecticut.

Bah. He’d have a better chance at getting a date with Drew Carey.

For some reason, Blockbuster had a huge promotion going with this movie. I had free rental coupon, so what did I have to lose? I had no expectations, and ended up being pleasantly surprised. I liked the scene where he gets into the “Charlie’s Angel’s II” party and then almost chickens out. Well, he does chicken out, but his friend steps in and introduces him.
