Critic Reviews

Don R. Lewis

Any film that can make you cringe at it's honesty, laugh at it's insanity and yet follow along hook line and sinker is something special. Read full review

Jennie Punter

The documentary My Date with Drew is "Don Quixote" meets "Bowfinger" meets "Swingers" for the reality-TV generation. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

There are times, to be sure, when Herzlinger's antics threaten to swing from cute to cloying. But the few missteps are gently redeemed by an unexpectedly charming finish. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Walks such a fine line between what separates dreamer from stalker, that the film he made about it ellicits a variety of responses. Read full review

Ben Kenigsberg

When our hero finally does get his moment in the sun--c'mon, would someone have bought the movie if he didn't?--My Date With Drew offers the surreal spectacle of pursuer and pursued pleasantly gabbing, obliviously immersed in a mutual PR stunt. Read full review

Stephen Holden

As his movie-in-progress goes along, his pursuit of a childhood dream looks increasingly like an excuse by a canny aspiring filmmaker to create a work sample. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Stupefyingly tedious and annoying. Read full review

That has to be the dorkiest film I ever saw. I confess that I used the fast forward VERY liberally till I got to the actual date. The date was anticlimactic. Save your time. This movie was just plain bad.
