A hilarious teen comedy starring Corey Haim & Corey Feldman. Les Anderson(Corey Haim) is about to get his driver's license but he fails his written exam but all of the computers crash so he takes & passes the driving part. Afterwards, his records are recovered & he doesn't get his license. He has a date with Mercedes Lane(Heather Graham) that night but is grounded for lying to his parents about getting his license. So he takes Grandpa's car, who left it with the family while he took a trip. A night of hilarity & insanity occurs. This is a straight up 1980s teen comedy. It has a great soundtrack. The acting is what you'd expect from a teen comedy from the 1980s but still decent. Pretty funny stuff overall. I'm pretty sure the bus chase dream from the beginning is a parody of Freddy's Revenge. Also stars Heather Graham, Michael Manasseri from TV's Weird Science(one of the best shows ever), James "Uncle Phil" Avery, Grant Goodeve from Eight is Enough, Carol Kane, Richard Masur, & Nina Siemaszko(3-D from Back to the Future's sister). I recommend picking up the Anchor Bay special edition on DVD. Original Theatrical Trailer:www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4KJtDxTqWQBus Chase scene:youtube.com/watch?v=0JuROSYiDqI

The Anchor Bay DVD recently went out of print so if you see a copy for cheap, pick it up before the price inflates!

This is one of my favorite 80's teen comedies. Both of the Coreys are excellent in this one and it's my second favorite of their movies next to The Lost Boys. When I was in middle school every time we would have a day off because of snow, License To Drive would always be on FX and I always watched it. I want to try and pick up up on VHS and the Special Edition DVD.

Went to my local FYE today and found License To Drive for $9.99, I snatched it up quickly.
