  ## Synopsis
  
  Since he first saw E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial as a boy, Herzlinger has had a crush on its star Drew Barrymore. Now, more than 20 years later, Herzlinger combines his passions for filmmaking and Drew Barrymore to document his quest for a date with the actress. With $1,100 he won at a game show (the winning answer being "Drew Barrymore") and a digital video camera, he has 30 days to complete his documentary before he has to return the camera under Circuit City's 30-day return policy.
