4.0 out of 5 starsA Modern Day Reflection of 'Harold and Maude'
By Grady Harp HALL OF FAMETOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on July 4, 2007
Format: DVD
DRIVING LESSONS is a little film that sneaks up on you. What at first seems to be a bit of fluffy nonsense comedy British style is at its base a very fine story about coming of age and the needs for significant friendship of both the young and the elderly. Writer Jeremy Brock ('Mrs. Brown', 'Charlotte Gray', 'The Last King of Scotland') here directs his own screenplay and the result is a cohesive, progressively involving tale filled with fascinating and diverse characters, each performed by sterling actors.

Ben Marshall (Rupert Grint, standing firmly on his own as a developing actor post 'Harry Potter' series) is a quiet, plain little poetic seventeen-year-old living with his bird watching Vicar father (Nicholas Farrell) and his obsessive compulsive, rigid, evangelical do-gooder mother (Laura Linney) in a home where 'needy people', such as the murderous cross-dressing Mr. Fincham (Jim Norton), take precedence over family matters: the mother is by the way having an affair with priest Peter (Oliver Milburn), using Ben as her cover!

Sad Ben is among other things attempting to learn to drive a car. His mother is a poor teacher and decides he needs professional lessons AND needs to get a job to help pay for poor Mr. Fincham's needs. Ben follows an ad and meets Dame Eve Walton (Julie Walters), an elderly has-been actress who is as zany as any character ever created. She hires Ben and the fireworks begin. Through a series of incidents, including a camping trip Evie demands they take, the two learn life's lessons missing from each other's natures: Ben learns self respect and self confidence and Evie finds a true friend who will allow her to drop her stagy facade and be the dear human being she has been hiding.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsRupert Grint has grown up!
By Ghenet B. Pinderhughes on May 16, 2007
Format: DVD
I saw Driving Lessons at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2005, and I fell in love with it! I have always been a fan of Rupert, from the Harry Potter movies, and was excited to see him in another role. This was a great role for him to break out in. The first time he sayd f*ck, i was shocked! but it works incredibly well for the character Ben. There was a twist at the end i wasn't expecting, but I pretty much just wanted to give him a hug when the credits rolled up. I have been waiting for the DVD for AGES, and cannot wait to own it!!

By Kimberly B. Jeffries on May 25, 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is definitely a must buy movie. Though it wasn't released in the United States for long, and I had to buy it through the UK amazon, it was worth it. Rupert Grint is amazing! Laura Linney can definitely pull off insane, and Julie Walters is hilarious! If you love to laugh, then you'll love this movie!!

5.0 out of 5 starsWhere "Dead Poet's Society" Failed,
By Louise A. Hawkins on June 29, 2007
Format: DVD
"Driving Lessons" succeeded. However simple the story may be, the messages and character dynamics are brilliant.

The story begins with Ben (played by Rupert Gint), a teenage boy raised by a repressive mother (Laura Linney) and passive father, acquiring a job with an older actress.

The film follows the two leads who play with the "old couple" dynamic; yet underneath, the story is about the actress, "Dame" Evie Walton, releasing the suppressed character of Ben. Throughout the film Ben blossoms as a writer and poet, discovering the good in life while faced with it's brevity.

Definitely worth watching. There's a lot of films which boast a sort of "grandeur" about poetry and youth, but essentially fall short and sometimes even flat. This story does not. It's simple, comedic and sweet without becoming contrived.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Pleasant Surprise
By Gina05 on July 5, 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I have been looking forward to seeing this film for quite a while. I was expecting a mediocre film...I just wanted to see it because Rupert and Julie were in it. However, this is a wonderful film and Rupert did a fantastic job! The chemistry between Julie and Rupert was great. This is a must-see film for any fans of Rupert or Julie!

5.0 out of 5 starsA Lilac Wolf and Stuff Review
By Kindle Customer on July 9, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Such a great movie. The characters are deep, well the main 2 are. And I just adored seeing them working together. It was as different a relationship as they could have off Harry Potter. He's a teenager living under an overbearing mother's thumb...like seriously bordering on creepy! And she is an out of work actress....she isn't handling aging very well. But she has incredible zest for life. Hmmm, ok it does seem predictable when said like that. But I was still taken away during this movie and I enjoyed it very much.

4.0 out of 5 starsRupert Grint and Julie Waters find something else to do together besides "Harry Potter"
By Lawrance Bernabo HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on August 3, 2007
Format: DVD
Like many I checked out "Driving Lessons" because it has Rupert Grint doing something other than Ron Weasley in a "Harry Potter" movie. I was researching to see what else the trio of young stars of those movies had done and discovered that Emma Watson has yet to do anything else while Daniel Radcliffe, who first came to our attention in a BBC production of "David Copperfield," has been performing "Equus" on stage, opposite Richard Griffiths, who plays Uncle Vernon in the "Harry Potter" movies. Here we have Grint playing opposite Julie Walters, who plays Ron Weasley's mum and who now has quite a different role to play in this film by first time director Jeremy Brock, who wrote the screenplays for "Mrs. Brown" and "The Last King of Scotland." Clearly it was the script that attracted not only Grint and Watlers, but Laura Linney as well, when certainly suggests that it is well worth checking out.

Grint plays Ben Marshall, whose only two concerns are getting his driver's license and impressing a girl that he likes. However, his idea of coming to an emergency stop is to drive up on a lawn and run the car into something, which is nothing compared to the disaster that awaits when Ben summons up the courage to read aloud to the girl a poem he has written and she dismisses him as being "weird.Read more ›
