License to Drive

About This Movie

So, 'License to Drive' is this 1988 flick directed by Greg Beeman. It's got that classic teen comedy vibe, you know? Les, played by Corey Haim, is a kid who flunks his driving test but still wants to impress his crush, Mercedes Lane, portrayed by Heather Graham. The pacing is pretty brisk, with lots of madcap moments that stem from his reckless decision to take the family car. There's this mix of youthful recklessness and romance that really captures that late '80s atmosphere. The performances, especially from Haim and Graham, bring a light-hearted charm. And let's not forget the practical effects – there are some fun car stunts that really add to the chaos. It’s a snapshot of that era, and it makes you nostalgic for simpler times.
