"My Date With Drew" accomplishes what any movie wants to. It evokes genuine emotions. I identified with Brian's quest. Who didn't have a crush on a beautiful Hollywood celebrity at some point in their life? The difference is that most people see it as a pipe dream and Brian saw it as a challenge, an opportunity to make a dream into a reality. And he's a very likable and charismatic guy. So I was really rooting for him. The feel of the film is very real. I get that these people are just going through their options as they think of them and then exploring them on video. It's funny. It's sweet. And it has plenty of moments where I found myself truly engaged into Brian's process. Feeling his pain. His elation. And when he finally gets the call from Nancy that Drew wants to have the date, and I saw the look in his eyes, I was right there with him. Full of gratitude. Happy to be alive. Life is about moments like this. Moments when something you work for and want more than anything actually happens. And when Brian actually has his date with Drew and you see how sweet, charming, appreciative and charismatic she is, the themes of the movie are personified perfectly within her. This is who she is. This is who Brian is. They were destined to meet. It was kismet. For his life. For his career. And even for hers. "My Date With Drew" shows us that the power and perseverance of the human spirit will triumph over all the odds. Watch this film with people you care about. When it's over, you'll care about them even more. For me, this film is ultimately about gratitude. Drew was grateful of Brain. Brain was grateful of Drew. And when you see the behind the scenes footage of the film, you really get that everyone involved was grateful for everyone who shared the dream and stood by it. Always go after your dreams! And if you really want to share it with others... be bold enough to get it on videotape. :)
