- 80Film ThreatFilm ThreatAny film that can make you cringe at it's honesty, laugh at it's insanity and yet follow along hook line and sinker is something special.
- 70VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangThis maddening yet deftly made, and finally disarming, documentary comes through with enough heart and hilarity to sell its celebrity-stalking shenanigans to genuinely moving effect.
- 63Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyPhiladelphia InquirerCarrie RickeySucceeds as a do-it-yourself handbook of guerrilla filmmaking
- 60The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttIndeed a wary viewer must get past the film's infatuation with celebrity culture to enjoy this movie's charms. But charms it has.
- 50The A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonThe A.V. ClubTasha RobinsonAs trivial as the micro-budget documentary My Date With Drew may seem, it has novelty on its side, and even when that flags, it coasts along on sheer personality.
- 50Village VoiceBen KenigsbergVillage VoiceBen KenigsbergWhen our hero finally does get his moment in the sun--c'mon, would someone have bought the movie if he didn't?--My Date With Drew offers the surreal spectacle of pursuer and pursued pleasantly gabbing, obliviously immersed in a mutual PR stunt.
- 50Dallas ObserverRobert WilonskyDallas ObserverRobert WilonskyUou may choose to read My Date with Drew several different ways -- as endearing or frightening, as bleak or expectant, as the optimistic daydream of the naïve Everyman or the beginning of a problem that could only lead to a restraining order.
