February 28, 2011If you love the two Coreys, you'll enjoy this movie. It's a fun and exciting little teen comedy. It's very funny and entertaining, and the supporting cast is great, I really liked it.
-
February 22, 2009I like the 80's, boy do I hehe but this is really kinda lame even for that. There's no real point to it really, simply a Corey vehicle with very basic plot, effects and acting. A few nice spots but nothing to shout about, Heather Graham is very cute :)

January 13, 2009Only the Coreys could transend time and space by cramming a 2 day adventure into half a night.

January 10, 2008More wildly and funny with the Coreys in a Cadillac car of the late 1980s. Lots of laughs!

July 15, 2007One of my fave teen flicks about a guy trying to get his licence to impress a girl.

February 16, 2007Funny teen flick. This was when the Corey's were still going strong and not as hooked on the drugs and stuff.

November 12, 2010Young Les Anderson (Corey Haim RIP) pairs up with best buddy Dean (Corey Feldman) in this jolly teen comedy where Les plays a boy who longs for the day when he can get his driver's license and attend parties with his friends without his parents having to drive him there. But then... read more

March 12, 2010Whenever Richard Masur and Carol Kane were onscreen, I would have a blast watching the movie. Whenever Corey Haim was, though, everything would be the most obvious, generic and unfunny joke. It reminded of the Simpsons episode Bart Gets Famous when Krusty puts a vase near a door ... read more

March 10, 2010One of my truly favorites of Corey Haim and Corey Feldman during High school years. The character of Les Anderson played by Corey Haim will always be remembered for his funny, cute and hilarious character. RIP Corey!

Up until about the halfway mark of this movie, I was having a very good time. Then, somehow, it ran out of energy. Full Review

About all that's worth noting is that the Caddy gets demolished and that the stars remain intact (though practically everyone will wish that it were the other way around). Full Review

TV Guide's Movie Guide
Although the premise of getting or not getting a first driver's license is a solid-enough base for 90 minutes of teenage comedy, License To Drive misses the point on all counts. Full Review

Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Everything you've ever hated about American teenagers, their music, money, fashion sense, their values, and most of all their pin-ups, in one auto-destructive movie. Full Review

...as a breezy, mindless little comedy, License to Drive undoubtedly fits the bill. Full Review

It's got the two Coreys...need I say more?

Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
It's the two Coreys at the height of their popularity; make sure your children avert their eyes... by gouging them out if necessary.

Bob Grimm, Las Vegas Mercury
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I liked this movie. The Coreys were actually funny in this one.
