I am so intrigued by teenage comedies from the 80's. The way people dressed back then, the music they listened to, their hair... I could go on and on. It's really freaky to look at all this from a distance.
The other thing that I like about 80's comedies is that they are so innocent. No dick jokes, no fart jokes, just the good old problem of the main character trying not to get grounded.
"License To Drive" is an overlooked little movie from that genre. It's no great classic like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", but it does have its charms. The two Coreys are in there as is a VERY young Heather Graham.
The characters and the plot are totally unbelievable and there are no real laugh out loud-moments, but that doesn't matter so much. It's one of those flicks that are entertaining to watch nonetheless. If you like comedies like "Adventures In Babysitting" or "Hot Pursuit", this one's for you.
