A group of teens hit the road in a stolen driver's ed car, racing against time to help a lovesick high school senior (Sam Nivola) track down his college-freshman girlfriend and win her back. In 24 chaotic hours, they're chased by school security and the cops, shot at by small-time crooks, and somehow adopt a three-legged cat.

The fact that “Driver’s Ed” is an R-rated teen comedy may make it something of an anomaly these days, but it’s a fairly gentle and mostly goofy one that’s essentially spinning its wheels.. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter Sep 15

In many ways, Driver’s Ed feels like a throwback to the comedies of the ’80s, when films could be silly and heartfelt in equal measure. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
