"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Drive Me Crazy | 1999 | PG-13 | - 4.3.6
High-schoolers Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier pretend to be a love-struck couple in order to make the people they really want to date jealous. Also with Stephen Collins, Mark Metcalf, William Converse-Roberts, Faye Grant, Susan May Pratt, Kris Park, Ali Larter, Mark Webber, Gabriel Carpenter, Lourdes Benedicto, Keri Lynn Pratt, Natasha Pearce and Derrick Shore. [1:43]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Sexual innuendo (including references to homosexuality, masturbation and the size of the male anatomy) and some passionate kissing. A boy and girl kiss and moan in the backseat of a car; he raises his clothed crotch suggestively while trying to talk her into having intercourse. We see a girl holding her unbuttoned shirt together while standing with a boy (it's implied they've been fooling around). We see girls in bikinis in one scene, a girl in her bra in a couple of scenes and a girl wearing a cleavage-revealing top.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A boy pulls another out of a car, throws him to the ground, hits his head against the car, kicks him in the stomach and spits on him. A passenger in a car hits his head when the driver brakes suddenly. A girl sprays mace in a boy's face, blinding him. We see someone vomit and later see it again on videotape.
LANGUAGE 6 - An F-word, many scatological and anatomical references and a few mild obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Popularity, dating, friendship, conformity, young adulthood, teen drinking and implied drug use.
MESSAGE - The most popular kids aren't necessarily the most interesting; people aren't always who and what they appear to be.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
