Now, 20 years later he's decided to try to fulfill his lifelong dream by asking her for a date. There's one small problem: She's Drew Barrymore and he's, well, Brian Herzlinger, a broke 27-year-old aspiring filmmaker from New Jersey.

Brian wants to meet Drew. By the end of his movie, we want to meet him.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Herzlinger comes across as kind of a nebbishy Everyman, except funnier, luckier, and in possession of the most tolerant, supportive friends on the planet.

Tasha Robinson, AV Club

This film, like the actress who inspired it, has an appealing sweetness that sneaks up on its viewer.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten

It's like reality TV, only twice as irritating.

Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Rotten

In this TV reality show masquerading as a movie documentary, Brian Herzlinger is a creepy voyeur, a run-of-the-mill loser who obsesses about living the celebrity high life but lacks the talent to pull it off.

Sheela Raman, Boston Globe
