uhh they BETTER change the title

excuse yourself, but there is ALREADY a film with the title "Driving Lessons." and it is far better than this movie, and most other movies, could ever be.

1) I agree, they should change the title so as not to have the same title as another movie that so recently was released, whether it's American or not.

but 2) I don't think you can claim a film is better than another film that hasn't even been made yet. That's like saying that the movie that won best picture in 2006 is better than the one that will win in 2014. How can you know that? You can't.

I hoped the slight sarcasm in my post would be notifiable, but alas...
Haha I wasn't being completely serious. Although Driving Lessons (the movie I was referring to) is a great movie.

they don't have to change their title... there have been many movies that share the same title...

If I were the producers/marketing firm of this film I'd want to change the title just to avoid confusing the future DVD renters/buyers of this movie (which, long-term, can represent a huge percentage of total gross $$$). Just a few movies I almost rented the unintended versions of include "Undertow," "Chaos," and "The Girl Next Door."

I will watch just about any film with Julie Walters in it, and was pleasantly surprised by Grint's performance - a lovely deadpan departure from Potter. In short, luvved the original "Driving Lessons" oodles.

I thought this was an American remake of the lovely British film.

Now I am always going to be thinking of the Turtles song though...

Sorry, I guess there is just no pleasing me.

ROFL I hope they got the rights to it and used it in the film. That would be very cool.
