Driving Lessons

The red-headed Rupert Grint, of the Harry Potter films, goes solo as a young man whose loyalties are divided betwen his devout Christian mother (Laura Linney) and a colorful former actress (Julie Walters) who wants to teach him how to have some fun. “Pic relies on chemistry that fairly crackles between the principals to successfully deliver its teen hero from familial repression and rescue its pubescent lead from child-star roles.” (Variety)
