āDrive Me Crazy āIs 25 and These Photos of Melissa Joan Hart, Adrian Grenier and Britney Spears at the Premiere Will Take You Back
Young Hollywood showed up for the teen rom-com's 1999 premiere
Twenty-five years ago today, Drive Me Crazy landed in U.S. theaters. But even before the 1999 teen rom-com starring Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier opened, it was already a pop cultural phenomenon, its soundtrack having spawned a massive hit with title track, "(You Drive Me) Crazy" by Britney Spears.
While the film itself was a modest success at the box office, it was definitely a late '90s moment, epitomizing the teen "poptimism" that defined the end of the decade. And at its Los Angeles premiere in late September 1999, young Hollywood came out to celebrate.
On Drive Me Crazy's 25th anniversary, take a look back at all young stars and '90s style on the red carpet at the film's 1999 premiere.

Adrian Grenier
Drive Me Crazy also effectively announced Hart's costar Adrian Grenier's arrival as an up-and-coming Hollywood heartthrob.
