License to Drive

Oh i love this movie. I know i only gave it 4 stars, but lets face it folks thats what it deserves. But I do love this movie, if its ever on TV I can help but watch it. This is a perfect 80s movie, with both of the freakin corey's how can you beat that? With a stick. Anyway, you know what you got here - a stupid teen 80s movie about getting your drivers liscense. If it sounds like something you don't want to see then don't see it. Otherwise go an see it, its better than Cats. I do hate the one corey, you know the one that always has his mouth open, lousy mouth breather, he's the one that got fat and almost died from drugs, oh wait they both did that.

This movie is, aside from The Lost Boys, the best film Haim has ever done. It is a non-stop joy ride of adolescent fun that all ages can enjoy, teens can relate and adults can remember. I'm not saying any Oscars should be handed out, but the entertainment value is full of fun and laughs. Haim and Feldman pair great together. This is a must see movie from that decade. ENJOY THE SHOW!!!

16 years old and no license? No kidding!! Worst scene is the ending.

Some of the reigning stars of the moment (and some moments ago) have started their career with the Troma Studios (Billy Bob Thornton, Kevin Costner). Corey Haim however, started with solid material like 'the Lost boys' (1987) to proceed via liquid and humorless teen comedies like this one and finally vaporizes his career taking part in no less than four flopping crapfests in 1996. 'Death Race 2000' (1975) must be the reason why Corey Haim tried to obtain his driver's license from 'Bullet' (1985) to 'License to drive' (1988). Will he finally graduate? I'm not sure if I really care. After all the notable teen comedies (Ferris Bueller, Weird Science, or even Pretty in pink, and other John Hughes stuff, etc etc), Beeman came forward with this degenerate attempt to make a buck. Avoid it. 2/10

John Hughes-like teen comedy with the always nauseating Haim starring as a high schooler who fails his written driving exam but tries his expertise at driving anyways to woo a beautiful woman. Masur is the most entertaining thing in this all too familiar style film as Haim's father.

The only revolutionary about this film is Natalie's boyfriend the marxist. Apart from that, this is just a run-of-the-mill teenage comedy of the 1980s. Nothing surprising happens and all the characters behave as we expect them to: Les' annoying friends, his sister ('A' student with glasses), Mercedes' ex-boyfriend the playboy. Corey Haim does nothing special out of his acting.

This is one of the greatest 80s movie of all-time. haim and feldman rock...The guy who plays mr. anderson rules.... and there is a young heather graham. It is a crime that this movie isnt on dvd. There are some great lines... A MUST SEE

An all time classic that re-unites the corey's. wooo. one of the best 80's comedies of all time. just the opening scenes of the driving exams takes it above the rest. and then bring on the drunk who steals the car. a superb movie that kicks a**e. wahoo. MINT AS A FISH!

Looking back into the mist of time (when i was a child of the eighties) This is the film that encapsulates that time for me. Funny, blokes with rolled up sleeve jackets and with terrible acting by Haim what's not to like? Getting serious for a moment, it is actually a very good film. Tightly written, well directed and with good supporting acting it would get a nine if only Haim could stop a) Blinking b) Keep his mouth shut, he looks like a fish. If anyone wants to know what all the fuss was about in the late eighties with two lads called Corey, then this is the film to watch. In fact it should be given to directors as a how to manual, on how to make a light breezing ENTERTAINING film, which the movies sadly lack these days. A film every home should own. LEGENDARY.

I have seen many movies starring the two Coreys, including The lost Boys, a cheesy Dean Koontz movie, and some horrible psycho. sexual thriller, the name of which I cannot remember. But the best of these movies has got to be License to Drive. Feldman and Haim complement each other so well in this flick they should have one an award for best duo teen actors. The antics in this movie will keep you laughing through out the film. It has got everything. A Wiley, half senile grandfather, goofy but controlling parents, and tonnes of comical shots at growing up in a completely urbanized society. The only other comedy movies that I can think of are Ferris Buelers Day Off and Canon Ball Run. Anyway, if you have not seen License to Drive or the other recommended movies than I recommend that you watch them
