Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Fluke_Skywalker Plot; A 16 year old boy fails his drivers exam only to be approached by his dream girl for a date. His solution? Steal his Grandfather's mint condition Cadillac and take her out regardless.A vehicle--no pun...okay, pun intended--for the two "Coreys" (Haim and Feldman), this is actually an energetic, quirky and surprisingly well made 80s teen comedy. I don't know that Haim was one of our great thespians, but he makes for a plucky and likable hero here. It helps that he's surrounded by a talented and game supporting cast, including Carol Kane, Richard Masur and an impossibly gorgeous Heather Graham, who takes what would otherwise have simply been a one dimensional "Hot object of the hero's affections" role and makes her charming and likable. It's far from a classic, but certainly worth checking out for those who are fans of the 80s teen genre and may have forgotten about it.

Tango and Cash Hey, I like a cheesy 80s movie as much as the next guy, but this one was hard to watch. Compare this scenario with another Feldman-Haim movie, "The Lost Boys". Though not a comedy, "Lost Boys" is much, much more funny than the explicitly comedic "License." The latter movie telegraphs its jokes and plot twists from a mile away, while the former movie is far more sophisticated and original. Maybe that's it though - "License" is so cliché (not that that's necessarily a bad thing) that the laughs are corny while "Lost Boys" has an originality and freshness that delivers funny dialogue AND funny situations.I tell ya, it was hard to watch. Some scenes are so bad they're cringeworthy. The "Mercedes" line in the final minutes of the movie made me throw up a little bit in the back of my throat.And yeah, the dad is the dog-keeper guy from "The Thing." I knew I recognized him, but couldn't place him. A quick IMDb search got that all straightened out.

Yggort Two Coreys at their finest. I'll leave it up to you to decide what 'their finest' entails. The super slim plot summary would be 'high school kid wants license, car and girl'. The parents are very funny and have some of the best scenes. The 'girl' is named Mercedes Lane (pun overload?) and comes off as a privileged spoiled rich white kid with no morals or values, and the car that is the key to a date with her is a Cadillac. Luckily for us she spends most of the film passed out drunk in the back of this Cadillac. Questionable plot elements upon closer inspection are: grand theft auto, driving without license, reckless driving, endangering motorists, teenage drinking, etc and the fact our main character gets away with it all, whilst destroying the Cadillac with no repercussions is a testament to the state of cinema in the 80s. A surprisingly fun movie. Even Corey Feldman is tolerable.

Steve Pulaski After the success of the now cult classic vampire flick "The Lost Boys", one year later, the popular 80s and 90s duo Corey Haim and Corey Feldman star in a fun-filled Comedy about a serious part in all of our lives, that part is our driving test. "License to Drive" is a fast-paced, original Comedy which is probably my favorite Haim/Feldman movie.The most embarrassing part of a teens life is being driven to a party or school by their parents. The parents are the ultimate antagonist when caught dropping their kids off because that means the teen doesn't have a driver's license. I'm sure it will be like that when I reach High School.Les Anderson (Corey Haim), the slacker type, crashes the computer on accident in anger after failing his driver's test. His teacher can't find the score to his test, which leads him to take the driving portion of his test, coached by a certain uncle, from a certain Will Smith show.He passes that test, but the teacher recovers his score, realizing he failed, rips up his driver's license, leaving Les to be driven by his parents. He then unwillingly takes out his grandfather's prized Cadillac to take out his new girlfriend Mercedes Lane (Heather Graham) who gets drunk and passes out on their date. He goes to his friend Dean's (Corey Feldman) house. Les, Dean, and their geeky friend Charles (Michael Manasseri) embark on a journey to a drag racing competition in Les' uncle's Cadillac.I have always had a weakness for 80s Comedies that depict the life of true teenagers (most of which are John Hughes movies). This, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Days Off, Career Opportunities, and so many others deal with real conflicts that teenagers have consistently. Though I have to feel bad that this one is overlooked and almost like it is never spoken about anymore seeing as it's very touching and funny.Perhaps one of the best 80s Comedies I have seen, "License to Drive" delivers heavily and keeps the laughs coming.Starring: Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Heather Graham, and Michael Manasseri. Directed by: Greg Beeman.
