After receiving traffic violations, young Dana Cannon (John Murray) and other motorists are ordered by Judge Nedra Henderson (Sally Kellerman) to attend a driving school as a way to avoid further penalties. The reluctant students must contend with the stern Deputy Halik (James Keach) as a teacher and remain resigned to completing the course. However, when Dana and his classmates learn of a devious scheme involving Henderson and Halik, they rebel against their deceptive authority figures.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

What a underrated hilarious comedy with a great cast. John Murray as a leading man did a great job and I only wish we got more from him. Tim Treakle

Out of the hundreds of movies I've worked on in my forty-plus career, this one is definitely in my top five (maybe top three) movies that I'll enjoy just as a regular fan. In fact, it's one of the very few that I own a copy of on DVD or any other format!

Funny and under appreciated. By no means a great movie, but I enjoy it now as much as I did in the 80s.
