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 overall story at the center ends on a heartwarming note and a feel-good message about the painful changes that come with growing up. Go to Full Review Steve Pond TheWrap Sep 15
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
Cruises along pleasantly but without inspiration... Granted there’s nothing inherently wrong with that approach and, fueled by a charismatic young cast, the vehicle reaches its intended destination with few wrong turns on the way. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 1h

The whole endeavor plays just like every Farrelly production, supplying wackiness and sudden sensitivity, while constant profanity is meant to offer edge to a thoroughly unmemorable film. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 11h
An uninspired, intermittently funny and slightly sweet, but ultimately forgettable comedy with shades of John Hughes. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 1d

In Driver's Ed, it's definitely about the journey and not the destination. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
