Drive Me Crazy is a teenage romantic comedy occupying the same fictional US universe as Dawson's Creek and so many others to follow in the hit show's wake. Rich and model-beautiful youths populate the halls spitting sarcasm and jargon at one another, and in the middle of this make-believe microcosm we have the classic tale of opposites attracting. Nicole (Melissa Joan Hart, a.k.a. Sabrina the Teenage Witch) likes sports hunk Brad, but has a vague attraction to her neighbour Chase (Adrian Grenier) who used to be her best friend before their teens. The problems are that he's a rebellious dropout with an on / off girlfriend, and Brad's romantic intentions are confusing to say the least. In a Pygmalion-style plan, Nicole gets Chase to agree to be made-over as a snappy dressing jock and they both try to fool family and friends that they're together. Based on the book How I Created My Perfect Prom Date by Ted Strasser, the jealousy ploy is all to do with who gets to take whom to the Timothy Zonin High School Centennial Dance. Fans of the aforementioned Dawson's Creek and fellow wannabes will be very comfortable with where it all leads and what it all means. --Paul Tonks
