Drive Me Crazy - 1999 ***



Ah, the 90s. The days of Melissa Joan Hart and Julia Stiles and Freddie Prince Jnr. The days of the teenage rom-coms. The days where every soundtrack had a Britney Spears song... okay that's not strictly true, but it is here. In fact, to boost ratings for the show, Joan Hart and Grenier feature in the Britney Spears video, which shows how popular it is.
Nicole and Chase are neighbours although they barely have anything to do with each other. But when they are both dumped close to the prom, they make a pact to go together to make their ex partners jealous. Of course this backfires and they start to have feelings for each other.
It's a light-hearted film but still relatively sympathetic.
