Clever and often funny, My Date with Drew is a kind of slapdash excuse for a documentary feature, albeit one with a few surprises. A 27-year-old aspiring filmmaker, Brian Herzlinger, wins $1,100 on a game show (where the winning answer happened to be "Drew Barrymore"), and decides to use it to make a film about his aspiration to ask Barrymore out on a date. Enlisting a few eager and bemused producers and directors as allies, Herzlinger goes through a self-improvement campaign--exercising, finding out what Barrymore likes--while also interviewing people who know her, including actor Eric Roberts and Charlie's Angels co-screenwriter John August. The tricky part, of course, is not giving anyone the impression that Herzlinger is just a sophisticated stalker, especially when he's busy wrangling invitations to celebrity parties so he can get near the object of his lifelong crush. The film runs a little low on steam in its second half, and the suggestion that the movie is really about the beautiful pursuit of a worthwhile dream, and not just a first-feature gimmick, gets a little precious. But My Date with Drew is certainly worth seeing for its conclusion. --Tom Keogh

 The heartless, the cynical and the spiritually dead won't like it, but you will. January 8, 2010
Mark Terran (Salt Lake City, UT, USA)
Effective enough to bring to the surface whichever the viewer is at the core: either a cold-hearted cynic who can only think "Ewe! Stalker! Loser!" - or one capable of recognizing that this guy and his dream are of course perfectly harmless, that the glass is half-full instead of half-empty, and that the real winners in life are those capable of maintaining and following their worthy dreams despite the scorn, pessimism and lack of vision of others. Watch the bonus "featurette" on the DVD, too, inspiring in its own right.
A fun and enjoyable experience September 21, 2009
Eric D. Roberts
While struggling to be an actor, a guy tries to live out his fantasy - and succeeds... an interesting movie that follows the adventure. Quite fun and entertaining.
Sweet little movie... June 29, 2009
Candace Beauchamp (Austin, TX)
I watched this tonight... it was a cute, quirky little documentary about this guy who has had a crush on Drew Barrymore since he was 10. He decides, after winning $1100 on a game show, to try to get a date with her. A feel good film, you actually feel bad for the dude (he's actually kind of annoying at times, if I'm being honest). But you gotta hand it to him for going for it, ya know?
Does he get the date?... not gonna tell you that part, you gotta watch it yourself!
for kids and dreamers June 23, 2009
kit kate bear (austin, tx)
let me begin by saying, i am no sap. i don't like romance comedies & i don't have grand dreams about how my future wedding should look.
with that said, anyone giving this less than 4 stars is obviously heartless. this is the movie kids 8 through 80 need to watch to know it's ok to pursue a dream. it will give you the inspiration to go for it.
and for all the reviewers calling him a 'stalker'...i noticed they were all guys, by the way- you are probably just jealous, and if it's not jealousy, then i feel sorry for you bc you couldn't see something beautiful in this film.
 Fun to watch Brian's journey to date Drew May 6, 2009
Bob Waskiewicz (Wintersville, Ohio United States)
I really enjoyed this home movie of Brian's date with Drew.This documentary is like anyone of us making a movie with a tight budget.The ending is great,and Brian's excitment to have his date with Barrymore almost brings tears to your eyes.I would just like to know what happened to one of his friends in the film that died? That was very sad to see when I was reading the credits at the end.
