sweet fun film alert! my date with drew

the most legitimate and cute stalker movie ever made!












though it's been talk on the internet/film community for a good two years, the crowd pleasing documentary my date with drew finally makes it to our screens this week.

based on a personal dare in which filmmaker brian hertzlinger had 30 days to get a date with his childhood idol drew barrymore, team drew (brian and best friends jon, brian and producer kerry) embark on a surprisingly exhilirating adventure that even makes the harshest cynics rooting for their meeting to happen.

it helps that team drew are sweet and supportive of each other, plus brian's genuine eagerness is an addictive quality to a film that could easily have been cheesy. nevertheless, with the lame end of summer selections out at the moment, go and check out this sweet, sometimes inspiring, little gem of a film instead.

for more on their adventures, read the whole story from the LA times.
