  • Starring: Brian Herzlinger
  • Summary: 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, wewell, 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.

    Any film that can make you cringe at it's honesty, laugh at it's insanity and yet follow along hook line and sinker is something special.
  2. Viewed through the right lens, "My Date…" succeeds as a warm, heartfelt story about childhood crushes and the pursuit of lifelong dreams. (Through another, it's downright unnerving.)
  3. Indeed a wary viewer must get past the film's infatuation with celebrity culture to enjoy this movie's charms. But charms it has.

    Herzlinger is a flack, not a filmmaker.

    I had a look at the reveiws and some of these so called critics would not know a good moive if it fell off a tall build and took they face off how can a critic call some one a Loser when they have a movie out that rents at block busters for the world to see ,that cost less than a new cheap car. sure it not a Radio or Star Wars but would many millions did that cost.well at any cost he set out to do something and did it. more than i can say for some big mouth critic well i know one thing it was a good clean family moive.

    Not even good.
  3. That has to be the dorkiest film I ever saw. I confess that I used the fast forward VERY liberally till I got to the actual date. The date was anticlimactic. Save your time. This movie was just plain bad. Expand
