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

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."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight
