2/5
"Grint might have talent in him, but with this film, he might as well be casting spells."

Chris Cabin
"The fact that he still needs saving%u2014after an entire movie's worth of instruction and rescue from assorted women%u2014suggests that Ben is well on his way to becoming his father after all."
PopMatters

B-
"The makers of
Driving Lessons
may have learned a bit too much from previous movies, but they've put the results to pretty enjoyable use."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/4
"Sweet, light and satisfying."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
4/5
"One of the finest British films of the year,
Driving Lessons
is a powerful calling card for Grint, who's just turned 18, and, indeed, for Brock's talent as a director. Here's hoping there's a long career in store for both."
FilmFocus
Joe Utichi
3/5
"Full of strong themes and witty interaction between its excellent cast, but it comes undone."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
2.5/4
"Happily, there's Walters, a terrific character actress who keeps Evie convincingly life-size, even when she's carrying on in full grand dame mode. Thanks to her,
Driving Lessons
never stalls to a halt."
