My Date With Drew

In the tradition of Super Size Me, this documentary film tells the story of one aspiring amateur filmmaker. His goal is to have a date with Drew Barrymore, his childhood sweetheart. He is on a thirty day deadline because the video camera has to be returned to Circuit City for a refund (they don't delve into the restocking fees).

They use their contacts to network their way to Drew using the six degrees of separation model. Along the way, we meet Drew's limo driver, cousin, screenwriter and facialist.

My Date With Drew tells the story of one man's dream. As an aside, it also shows the power of the internet. Be prepared to fast forward your way through his singing episodes in the car, Simon Cowell would agree he can't sing. The film does provide some entertainment, but it's clearly second rate.

Overall Grade: B-
