My Date with Drew

Now, 20 years later he's decided to try to fulfill his lifelong dream by asking her for a date.

Herzlinger comes across as kind of a nebbishy Everyman, except funnier, luckier, and in possession of the most tolerant, supportive friends on the planet.
Tasha Robinson, AV Club

This film, like the actress who inspired it, has an appealing sweetness that sneaks up on its viewer.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

It's like reality TV, only twice as irritating.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Rotten
In this TV reality show masquerading as a movie documentary, Brian Herzlinger is a creepy voyeur, a run-of-the-mill loser who obsesses about living the celebrity high life but lacks the talent to pull it off.
