(M) My Date with Drew (2005, Gunn, Herzlinger, Winn). Grade: AThis is a documentary about a guy named Brian who sets out to get a date with Drew Barrymore, whom he has been a fan of since he was 10. He has 30 days, a borrowed video camera and $1100 to make his dream happen. I won't say what happens in the end, but because Brian is dorky, funny, and sweet, you can't help but root for the guy. When I first heard about this documentary, I was a little skeptical, but I must say I genuinely enjoyed it. Also, the special features vignette about how Brian and his friends got the movie distributed was pretty interesting.
True, you can't help but root for the guy. He has personality and drive and you gotta love him for that. I'd give this an A for the enjoyable experience I had watching it.
