Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Picture it: Mid-2000s. The idea of a documentary involving stalking, er, trying for a date with the person of your dreams was, in fact, original back then. Especially when that person is a fairly big Hollywood star and you're a nobody.Fast forward to today, it's no big deal. It's happened several times this year, alone, thanks to some honorable military personnel and YouTube.But for argument's sake, we'll stick with what they conceive as an almost internet-barren 2003 (that's when it was allegedly shot.) It's been awhile since then, but I don't remember having too much difficulty navigating the web 8 years ago.I digress. This had 2…TWO…things going for it at that time: originality and the actual date itself. C'mon, that's not a spoiler; it's the freaking title! Okay, here's the problem. Beyond the fake money scheme they added for "tension," and I hated this self-absorbed, selfish and arrogant pr|ck. Sorry, let me back up.We have Brian who's had a crush on actress Barrymore since he was a sperm cell and his mission is to get a date with her. He becomes obsessed with this. The date, that is. Does he really care about Drew? No, she's just an object to him. His mission is strictly the date…WHETHER OR NOT SHE WOULD WANT IT.So, he convinces his closes friends to illegally scam the now-defunct Circuit City for a video camera (they purposely purchase said camera in order to use it for 30 days and then deceitfully return it within the 30-day return policy) and follow him everywhere. Never (or barely) does he thank these guys who dropped everything to chase him as if they were his own disciples. It's always: JUST ABOUT HIM AND HIS Obsession. The more the movie crept along, the more I hated him.Anyways, he's won some game show with the amazing first place prize of $1,100 and he plans to use that plus the fraudulent Circuit City video camera to make it 30 days without a care about a place to live (RENT anyone?), transportation (cars need gas…EVEN in 2003) or heck, I don't know, FOOD. This hairy dude – believe me, he loves to show the world, he has a lot of body hair – doesn't look like he (or his ignorant followers) are missing any meals and yet, they never accounted for this simple flaw.He's also mooching off his parents an entire $100 so he can continue his foolish and selfish quest of landing the meaningless date? If you've seen this, or even half of it, he unbelievably complains he can't get their money fast enough. And yet, he still has most of the HUGE game-show money left. That doesn't matter to him – that's for his obsessive behavior in regards to the date. What matters to him is: taking is parent's money. (News flash, #1: Both Western Union/Money Gram existed in 2003, so if he really needed to use his victimized parents for money, he could've gone that route VS having to get a check in the mail and cashing it RIGHT before both the post office and the bank closes. Was this guy's schedule so full, he always had to wait until the last minute to take someone else's hard-earned money? And #2 $100 ain't gonna do sh|t in regards to food, transportation or living arrangements. ESPECIALLY in L.A.)Oh, and poor Drew. She's about to promote her terrible Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle movie – and this is Brian's way in to stalk her some more by criminally breaking into the movie premiere without a bit of remorse.During all this, said creep Brian, accepts a job he knows he'll hate, he doesn't want and he's quick to criticize the job he hasn't even started yet. Ahh, before you judge, he's just upset it will get in the way of his stalking. It's been awhile since this was shot, but if his employer sees this…please fire this idiot. If not for insubordination, just plain stupidity.It boils down to: Drew FINALLY finds out about his scheming and accepts the offer for a date despite her being in a committed relationship.Saying this movie isn't about stalking, is like saying The Punisher isn't about revenge. But, beyond the obvious stalking this guy is so obsessed with having a date with Drew, he shows zero repentance for all laws he's breaking, the friends he's using and most definitely, for Drew herself. She's no longer a human to him, she's just a goal.Mercifully, the two finally have the said date, in which, he pretty much dominates. Let me tell you: if I was star-struck by someone, I would want to hear them speak. But, this egotistical brat must think he's hilarious – BELIEVE ME, HE'S NOT A BIT FUNNY – since he controlled the entire conversation with his boring banter. He even says things he knows she'll agree with him on.I'll admit, the original concept at the time, and I'm talking long before the stolen camera began recording, and the actual date itself were good, but the rest of the 85 minutes weren't worth 5 minutes of your time.Here's a better documentary: (making of Boondock Saints) Overnight. The movie's "even-worse-than-Brian" writer/director Troy Duffy. At least in that documentary, you know the guy's an @ss up front and you root for him to fail throughout. With My Date with Drew, you're actually supposed to cheer on his criminal activity, his selfishness and his stalking. He was, in all reality, a real-life Borat.Well, I didn't cheer or remotely agree. I couldn't get onboard. Kudos to Drew for being flattered, albeit, illogically calm and being willing to participate – even though, I'm certain her security men were close. Very close.Like most awkward first dates (and Drew's had a least 50 of them) you'll want this to be over the moment it starts.

Downloaded this movie and was surprised at the reviews praising it on this site. Obviously most are fake who give it nearly perfect scores. This is a movie, about a neat idea actually, that turns sour very quickly. Armed with $1,100 and a video camera, Herzlinger spends 30 days trying to penetrate the walls of showbiz flackery so that he can get a date with Drew Barrymore, his lifelong celebrity crush. Along the way, we're expected to find this ''nice Jewish boy'' adorable as he pesters his industry contacts and peeks back at the camera. It becomes apparent that the plot becomes very very boring and it is obvious to the viewer that this movie is really a glimpse into a personality-disordered man's attempt to break into Hollywood. Pass

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 think more than anything, you have proved that Perseverance and truly BELIEVING in your dream does make dreams a reality. I was struck by Drew's candidness with Brian. I actually wept at how touching the encounter was when you finally had your date. Drew said something that urged me, a non-enthusiastic internet user to actually log on and write this to you. Drew said that she felt she was "a link in your destiny..." and she wanted not to hurt you and to be a part of it. I am hoping for the same from you Brian. Your boldness and honesty is something that my daughter - a budding actress - needs to be "linked to" and I am hopeful that YOU WILL please help HER?(Just as Drew helped you.) In this way,your movie, you, and Drew all could help her to keep the DREAMS ALIVE. Meagan (my daughter) has a singing voice which I believe was God given (she certainly didn't get it from me!). She has a long list of Community Stage Acting, Is the female lead in one movie (currently at Film Festival) called "Locked Away." She has been dancing on stage since she was 3 y.o.(she is now 22). I have spent many hours researching how to help her,spent much money and provide daily (emotional) support for her journey to Broadway. She is currently a MTP at WMU and will graduate with a BFA,BS in Sping 2008. Do you know any Agents, any contacts in NYC or elsewhere or have any other recommendations as to who would guide her? Brian You are a fantastic net-worker. I am hoping that Drew's generosity to help you will encourage you to help me help my daughter. Oh, FYI: I grew up 2 blocks from where MADONNA lived with her grandmother after her mother died. Her Grandmother used to have me and my friend come to the house and try to get MADONNA to come outside and "play" with the other kids (we were about 12y.o.) She would "Bribe" us to come in and talk with MADONNA by offering us fresh baked cookies. I could try to contact MADONNA but doubt she would give me the time of day (as she did not when we were younger - of course - she was probably held up in that bedroom writing songs for the future - who knew??!!). Thanks for any help you can give me. If anyone else reading this has any ideas, I am open to them also. Thank You! Good Luck Brian in all future endeavors. JULIE
