Driving Lessons

Grade:  B

Premise:  A young man (Rupert Grint) has a seriously dysfunctional family.  A hyper-religious mom and a seemingly wussy pastor father.  To get out from under their thumb he takes a job helping an aging actress (Julie Walters) with chores around her house.

Recommend:  Yes, with reservations.  I liked it but it was a bit slow at times.  Julie Walters is fantastic and Rupert does a good job in a non-harry potter role.

I just watched this movie last night, and I loved it so much, I went online to look for reviews...which was quite disappointing, because no one else seems to like it like I did!

I got here through a series of Google clicks, but I'm glad to have found it - I saw your headline and had to laugh, because I LOVE Colin Firth, and no one else seems to like him like I do, either! Ha! I think he's utterly gorgeous.

Nice blog. :)
