Critic Reviews

With the aid of a charmingly offbeat story and a jolly good dialect coach, the stars leave you thinking, well done. Their spirited performances help cover up glaring holes in the plot.Full Review

Ruthe Stein
San Francisco Chronicle

Basically conservative yet titillatingly "eccentric" British laffer could succeed in the "Full Monty" import slot.Full Review

Ronnie Scheib
Variety

The screwball aging diva genre isn't the only formula guiding this stubbornly old-fashioned movie. Driving Lessons belongs to the silly feel-good mode of "The Full Monty," "Calendar Girls," "Billy Elliot," "Kinky Boots" and dozens of other celebrations of Britons defying convention to become "free," whatever that means.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Linney hits a single note for her uptight character, while Walters travels the scale indiscriminately. Her outsized eccentric darts from amusing to grating. Only Grint is just right, as the boy they, and the film, can't do without.Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman
New York Daily News

Driving Lessons follows the well-worn path laid down by other, better movies while making strained, ludicrous things happen toward the end.Full Review
