Lady Driver

just flawless, a great movie showing the courage of a daughter to get in the field of her father and do something. It also depects to not destroy the past for living in the future comfortzone. loved watchin

Somehow this girl, in spite of coming up with no dad and picked on as a weirdo loner in Monterrey, manages to have grown to expect every single adult in her life to let her do anything and everything she wants, whenever she wants. From stealing the school shop car and running away from home, to convincing her uncle to let her move in, then bust out his old race car against his will, then basically give it to her.... lies to her him and her mom about racing, then her punishment is that her apparently rich rich stepdad buys her an entire race team. the moral of this whole movie appears to be that all adults exist simply to serve the whims and fancies of a sixteen Year old girl. Post credits scene of uncle giving her a mint restored chevelle put it over the top and inspired me to write this review.

Grace Van Dien is impossibly cute and does a nice job in this simple but enjoyable family movie. If you think of this as 'Lizzie McGuire Goes Racing' you are going to be very satisfied. If you think it's going to be some kind of an Atomic Blonde action movie, how did you get there? It's a free (with subscription), PG, family, Netflix movie - it is exactly what most would think it would be.

I understand that some people love the main girl character and want to be entertained and I agree that female empowerment is a nice change. However this film is just plain teenage entitlement. How is this sending a good message for kids and their parents? Lie and steal your way when ever adult tells you no, and get off without any punishment, what a great plot for a story. Could have gone so many ways, I am stunned as to who approves the script when it's this bad. It's obviously bad. Even for a wrap it up in a bow Hallmark movie.

Sure this film is a bit predictable, and a bit unrealistic for a real racer. However, I thought they did good job delivering their message in the end. This is perfect for young girls to watch with their dads.
