Double Happiness
The film was Shum's second film, after her well-received 1994 film, "Double Happiness", which starred Sandra Oh. "Drive, She Said" received mixed reviews. Writing in "Variety", Derek Elley described the film as "a meet-cute road movie that starts in high gear but soon takes too many left turns for its own good. Mina Shum’s second feature, after her well-remarked, Chinese-themed low-budgeter 'Double Happiness' is too mild a confection to motor on to much theatrical business."
