Philadelphia Inquirer
Buoyed by the appealing Hart and Grenier.

San Francisco Examiner
An impressively competent "how will male teen star get with female teen star at high school dance?" romance.

Mr. Showbiz
The appealing cast makes the most of the derivative story.

Chicago Tribune
An innocuous teen film.

Chicago Sun-Times
Slight and sweet, not a great high school movie but kinda nice, with appealing performances by Hart and Grenier.
|

Dallas Observer
Actually quite agreeable, but only because of a group of actors who are able to salvage the paper-thin material.

Film.com
Doesn't go the distance in either story or style, unwilling to liberate itself from real or presumed expectations about what it takes to sell a movie featuring teenagers.

Chicago Reader
Impressively nuanced.

Entertainment Weekly
Amusing in its very shallowness.

San Francisco Chronicle
Succeeds in its modest way because its stars, Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier, are pleasant to be around.

The New York Times
When it comes to an ending, Drive Me Crazy offers no surprises, but it arrives there in amiable, sensible style.

Miami Herald
Phoebe Flowers
That it manages a certain air of likability is due solely to the considerable charms of Grenier.

New York Post
Recycles the teen romantic comedies of the last few years...and it's easily the worst of the lot.

Boston Globe
Gets by on the watchability of its young stars.

USA Today
A minimally tolerable excuse to splice one or two perfunctory scenes between song cues.

TV Guide
Smarter and more engaging than it has to be.

Los Angeles Times
Robin Rauzi
Like the song, the movie is bouncy and catchy but disposable pop material.
|

Washington Post
Enough to make any thinking person want to shoot a hole in the screen.
|

TNT RoughCut
A poor excuse to put out a soundtrack of teen pop songs.
|

Variety
Sloppy and dull in equal measures.

LA Weekly
Paul Cullum
Nothing in this craven exercise... will register in the memory for longer than the walk back to the car.

New York Daily News
Isn't a movie as much as it is a feature-length screen test.
|

Austin Chronicle
The goal of Drive Me Crazy is simple: to sell tickets by selling fantasy.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer
So badly plotted and written that it rarely makes much sense, even with the elementary story line.
