Despite my affection, I can't quite recommend Drive Me Crazy. The good stuff needs more energy behind it. Go to Full Review Chuck Klosterman Akron Beacon Journal 10/30/2023

There's more to like about this movie than you'd probably expect (certainly more than I did). Besides, the all-girl band the Donnas performs a cover of REO Speedwagon's Keep On Lovin' You at the big high school dance. That alone is worth $7.50.

Jolly R @RT40385333 08/23/2025 Heartwarming movie about underdog boy who understands what's really important in life ends up hitting it off with popular girl who ends up seeing what's important in life as well. It does happen sometimes in real life, and this movie is a reminder that sometimes it isn't all bad. A go-to of mine when I'm looking for some feel-good time out. Bravo. See more Pedro Henrique C @Pedro2005 08/20/2025 Drive Me Crazy (1999) is a typical film where we follow the lives of teenagers in high school, playing pranks, and getting drunk. But it's a pleasant story that you can watch. See more bailey n @RT77383625 08/14/2025 I would die for this movie. Skip the ending See more thiago s @Thiagostone 06/14/2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more Co D @RT83813455 05/17/2025 it’s sooooo cute, I’m a sucker for the fake relationship trope (weird ending tho) See more Ed R @JustcallmeER 02/25/2025 Clever nostalgia with a predictable plot.
