'CRAZY' LOVE Grenier and Hart get cozy in ''Drive''

Credits

Rated: PG-13; Genres: Comedy, Romance; With: Adrian Grenier and Melissa Joan Hart; Distributor: Fox Home Video
B+
Drive Me Crazy, a not-completely-dumb flick about two lovelorn high schoolers who fake couplehood to spite the dream dates who've dissed them, harks back to the lesser achievements of the genre's golden age -- more ''Pretty in Pink'' than ''The Breakfast Club.''

Hart (''Sabrina, the Teenage Witch''), making her starring feature debut, exhibits a Ringwaldian grasp of the burdens of being ''in,'' while Grenier is a soulful rebel in the Andrew McCarthy mold. And despite ''Crazy'''s Britney Spears- and Backstreet Boys-laced soundtrack, it's REO Speedwagon's '80s anthem, ''Keep on Loving You,'' that rocks out the movie's ''Sixteen Candles''-worthy ending, in which the right people hook up at the big dance. All that's missing is Anthony Michael Hall.
