License to Drive
Some guys get all the brakes!
Directed by Greg Beeman
Produced by Davis Entertainment, 20th Century Fox
A lighthearted teen comedy about a boy's misadventures trying to impress a girl, built on escalating mishaps and youthful poor judgment played for laughs.
Teenager Les Anderson thinks his life can't get any worse after he flunks his driver's exam, but he's wrong. Even though he didn't receive his license, Les refuses to break his date with the cool Mercedes Lane, and he decides to lift his family's prize luxury car for the occasion. Unfortunately, Mercedes sneaks some booze along and passes out drunk, and a confused Les makes the bad decision of enlisting his rebellious friend, Dean, to help.
