Having seen License to Drive many times during the late 80's and early 90's, the film still stands the test
of time as an exceptional comedy.
Yes, it can be tacky in an 80's way, yet there are tons of energy to make for a great comedy. It also captures
a significant moment in a teenager's life of what it's like to get a driver's license. So, that's why
License to Drive will never be old.
Corey Haim is perfect for the role, and so are Corey Feldman and Heather Graham. Not much of credit is given to
Richard Masur, who plays the father of Les Anderson, for giving the best performance of the show.
All in all, great lines, humorous moments, and terrific performances make License to Drive a must-see 80's
picture.
10/13:
License to Drive is still a fun film to watch, yet I'm bringing the rating down from '8' to '7'.
The cast is good for this type of 80's comedy, and the concept is clever. Richard Masur and Corey Feldman are the
standouts as they elicit laughs from me easily.
All in all, don't leave home without having watched License to Drive.
