DRIVE ME CRAZY

'''Drive Me Crazy''' is a teen-oriented romantic comedy based on the novel ''How I Created My Perfect Prom Date'' by Todd Strasser. Originally titled ''Next to You'', the title was changed to capitalize on the success of the first single from its soundtrack, a remix of Britney Spears's song, ''(You Drive Me) Crazy''. While the song became a number one hit worldwide, it failed to promote the movie, which only grossed $17 million domestically. The soundtrack also featured The Donnas who appeared in the movie.

Plot

Nicole Maris (Melissa Joan Hart) and Chase Hammond (Adrian Grenier) live next door to each other - but are worlds apart. Nicole is up on the latest fashions; Chase, on the latest protest. She wouldn't miss a pep rally or basketball game with her scheming socialite friends; he can usually be found in a dark coffee room with his friends that don't care what they wear.
Nicole wants a dream date with the star basketball player, but right before it was certain they were going together, he fell in love with a cheerleader. Meanwhile, Chase's "non-conformist" girlfriend, Dulcie (Ali Larter) dumps him for another man. Now that they have something in common, Nicole and Chase reluctantly join forces to navigate the land mines of high school love.
Their scheme: date each other to attract the interest and jealousy of their respective romantic prey. But in the midst of planning a gala centennial celebration, Nicole and Chase find that the one they always wanted was closer than they ever realized.
