80's love in all it's glory an the two Cory's

"Les, that license in your wallet, that's not an ordinary piece of paper, that is a driver's license, and it's not only a driver's license, it's an automobile license, and it's not only an automobile license, it's a license to live, a license to be free, a license to go wherever, whenever and with whomever you choose."
Oh yeah! This is why I love 80's flicks! They're crazy, entertaining, colourful, charming, groovy, hilarious, cute, relatively short, fast-paced, and predictable as hell! Man this is good stuff!
I typed in 'license to drive' on Netflix (because I just got my license), and this came up. What are the odds? One hell of a ride. -
Well, I just about managed to watch this film all the way through. It is fair to say that this film hasn't stood the test of time. Highly predictable and only a few mediocre laughs. I was rewarded at the end though with Billy Ocean's 'Get out of my dreams and into my car', about the only positive aspect of this movie.

My mom took me to see this in the theater, and then we went for frozen yogurt. TCBY. Waffle cone. It was awesome.
Perfect late night Netflix stream. Fun nostalgia. Carol Kane and Richard Masur are pretty hilarious as Corey Haim's parents.

out of both the coreys it was decided that feldman was the cooler one. he had the best style and the most clever comebacks. haim was a wide-eyed mouth breather with invisible brace-face.
but I do enjoy a good all-night wacky adventure movie. I was pleasantly surprised.
3 stars = pleasantly content with the outcome.

35mm, Marina 8, North Miami Beach, Florida.
I'm glad people have great memories of this movie from their youth because I sure don't.

If you ever find yourself forgetting why the two Coreys were so popular, check this out. Under-appreciated.

One of my favorite films.
Such a fun film to watch.
The Corey's are great here...especially Feldman.
Masur is excellent as the Dad.
Graham's first role and although acting wise she doesn't add anything to the film-shes gorgeous and serves the purpose of the 'dream girl' well.
Avery is hilarious as the driving instructor.
Henry Alan Miller kills me every time as the drunk driver towards the end of the film.
A fun ride-I once pretended to be sick so I could stay home from school and watch this.

If this was a recent film I wouldn't even contemplate watching it, but as it was made in the 80s and stars two guys named Corey, I just couldn't help myself.
