A heart-warming coming of age story reminiscent of Harold and Maude. Driving Lessons tells the story of a shy teenage boy (Rupert Grint) as he begins to escape from the influence of his domineering, staunchly religious mother (Laura Linney). When he goes to work for a wacky, retired actress (Julie Walters), the boy finally begins to discover who he really is.
