News: My Date With Drew

Okay, here is a comedy that sounds very interesting. My Date With Drew is an independent film that is a little different than most. According to the film's press material, My Date With Drew was shot entirely for $1,100 that Brian Herzlinger won on a game show. The production used a camera purchased on credit from Circuit City, and then returned under the store’s 30-day refund policy. On his journey to woo Drew Barrymore, Herzlinger consults a psychic for love advice, hires a Drew look-alike to practice his date etiquette and crashes the world premiere of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle simply to steal a glance at his dream girl. Supporting Herzlinger’s quest with anecdotes and advice are several Hollywood insiders who appear as themselves including Eric Roberts, Corey Feldman and Charlie’s Angels screenwriter John August. The film is directed by Herzlinger, Brett Winn, Jon Gunn and produced by Kerry David. My Date With Drew opens in theaters August 5, 2005
