Julie Walters and Rupert Grint star in this drama about how a downtrodden schoolboy’s life is changed forever when he takes an unconventional summer job. Ben’s school holidays are conservative and traditional, filled with Bible classes with his vicar father, driving lessons with his overbearing mother and helping out at an old people’s home. They become a whole lot more exciting though when he takes a job with Evie, a retired actress who whisks him away on a series of adventures and challenges the very idea of who he wants to be., Harry Potter’s best mate Ron Weasley, a.k.a. Rupert Grint, takes the lead in this well-handled coming-of-age saga. Grint works his magic as the repressed son of a henpecked vicar and his willful wife who takes a summer job with a daft old actress (Julie Walters) and gets a lesson in how to fully enjoy life. Laura Linney costars as the lad’s mother. Written and directed by Jeremy Brock, who, as a youth, once worked for British acting titan Peggy Ashcroft., Two strong-willed women wield their influence on a shy teenaged boy in this coming-of-age comedy from the United Kingdom. Seventeen-year-old Ben (Rupert Grint) is the son of a soft-spoken vicar (Nicholas Farrell), but it’s his mother, Laura (Laura Linney), who rules the household, and she has put Ben cheerfully under her thumb, keeping him busy with a variety of good-will errands for the church and numerous local charity causes. With summer vacation looming before him, Ben is looking forward to learning to drive, but Laura is more interested in spending time with one of the more charming members of the church staff than helping Ben learn how to operate the family automobile. Wanting to earn some pocket money, Ben starts looking for a part-time job and ends up working for Evie Walton (Julie Walters), an elderly and slightly eccentric actress who needs help keeping her garden in shape. Laura believes Evie isn’t an especially good influence on her son, though Ben is happy to find someone who encourages his interest in poetry and the larger world (especially girls). One day, Evie announces that she needs to ride to Edinburgh, where she is supposed to give a reading as part of the city’s massive music and arts festival. While Ben doesn’t have his license, he volunteers to take the wheel, and soon he’s confronted with various forms of decadence that his mother has frequently warned him to avoid. Driving Lessons received its North American premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.
