Like most viewers -I suppose- I initially felt curious about the film because of Sarah Michelle Gellar; yet how much more I got, than just SMG- for this film wasn't, first and foremost, all about sexy good looks...
The film's casting is extremely well thought out: both Adrian Grenier (as green "Harvard Boy") and Joey Lauren Adams (as cool, sophisticated philosophy teacher) carry off their respective roles with tremendous talent. What's more, I couldn't find in it one single actor or actress who wasn't EXACTLY what the film needed.
So- superb casting. Adrian Grenier is good precisely for he's such 'your ordinary young Harvard guy'- and Adams, for she's the typecast epitome of sexy, hot and -at first sight- glib coolness.

This conflicted teen comedy can't decide what it wants to be. Is Drive Me Crazy a mainstream piffle about a popular girl who turns her grungy next-door neighbor into a dream date? Or is it a sneaky critique of high school conformity? Melissa Joan Hart (TV's Sabrina, the Teenage Witch) is angling to get asked to an upcoming dance by a basketball star, but when her plans go awry, she turns to a childhood friend (Adrian Grenier from The Adventures of Sebastian Cole) in the hopes of avoiding total humiliation. Grenier wants to win back his recently lost girlfriend, so he agrees to Hart's total makeover plan to induce jealousy. Naturally, the scam turns into something sparky. Teen flicks always make things too glossy and upscale, but Drive Me Crazy somehow fumbles...

Writer-director Tod Williams's pleasantly flawed film, like his title character, drifts amiably along, full of untapped possibilities. Adrian Grenier has a slouchy charisma as Sebastian, a teenager in upstate New York who is tired of school and realizes that the world only expects him to "get a haircut, pay taxes, [and] die." When his compassionate stepfather Hank (a serenely collected Clark Gregg) decides to live his life as a woman named Henrietta, it's only one more thing to challenge Sebastian's slowly developing worldview ("You care about too many people," his father tells him). Williams can't nudge his quirky musings into something larger, and the sex-change business becomes too much a dramatic contrivance, but the film moves with an affectingly low-key assurance. Better, Williams... More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Adrian Grenier - Clark Gregg Director(s): Tod Williams DVD Release Date: Released the 21 March 2000 THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE.
