We need to talk about Drive Me Crazy's Wackadoodle Twist Ending
Pop Quiz:
You've just shared a magical first kiss with your crush on your front porch. Things are heating up, so you decide to head inside....only to find your mom and his dad, post penetration, ready to bitch slap you back to reality: they are in love and your boy-toy is about to become your brother. Neat!
Do you:
a) Scream, gargle mouthwash (followed by a whole lot of tequila), and never mention the kiss (and subsequent brother boner) ever again
b) Take it in stride, stay the course, and head off to your childhood treehouse to get kinky with your kin. You know, really keep it in the family!
While this may seem like a very straightforward quiz with only one right answer, I think more of you need to revisit 1999's "Drive Me Crazy" staring Melissa Joan Heart and Adrian Grenier. The last 3 minutes are straight out of an M. Night Shyamalan thriller. Only this time, I find out I'm the one who has been dead the whole time, as the end of this film has officially killed every last shred of hope I had for humanity.
All jokes aside, this ridiculous (and unnecessary) plot twist got me thinking....what other movies have a surprise ending that left you, as the kids say, shookith? And follow up question: would you boink your step-brother if he looked like Adrian Grenier?
She saw him first 😂
I don't remember anything about this movie except for Britney Spears' accompanying "Drive Me Crazy" music video. Did I block it out?? Adrien is and was hot, I'd do him, even if our parents started dating. Sorry not sorry.
I know at first it seems like it should be an easy question to answer but it's actually more nuanced. If my step brother and I grew up together, even if he was super hot, the answer would be no. However, if we met a completely different way and became step siblings as practically adults then the answer changes to maybe or yes. It's a little weird if your parents move in together when you're teens who already like each other. But hey, why go to Rome when you can get it from home. 🤷🏾♀️🤭
The insane thing is I know I owned this video on VHS and yet I had very little recollection of any part of this movie. Also is the parents and kids hooking up at the same time weird? Yes but it’s not like their romantic connection started after their parents were already together. And I can’t tell if I find Adrian Grenier attractive or not so I guess I could resist definitely, probably resist boinking him.
The fact that M Night actually ghost wrote She’s All That makes me wonder if he’s actually behind this too….. 🤔🤔🤔
