License to Drive (1988)

Rate: 7
Viewed: 12/07, 10/13

12/07: 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 and enough laughs to be 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 License to Drive.
