Ever since the second grade when he first saw her in E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Brian Herzlinger has had a crush on Drew Barrymore. 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.

VIBE

A disarmingly earnest and charmingly awkward dive into a lifelong crush. It feels like a heartfelt, quirky home movie about the sweet absurdity of chasing a dream, wrapped in a meta-commentary on filmmaking itself.
