My Date with Drew

2005 · 90 min

A goofy, sweet-natured lark that coasts on charm and secondhand embarrassment rather than stakes.

Genres
Documentary
Overview
Ever since the second grade when he first saw her in E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Brian Herzlinger has had a crush on Drew Barrymore. Now, 20 years later he's decided to try to fulfill his lifelong dream by asking her for a date. There's one small problem: She's Drew Barrymore and he's, well, Brian Herzlinger, a broke 27-year-old aspiring filmmaker from New Jersey.
