Driving Lessons

If you get a chance to rent/watch Driving Lessons, do. It is a much-used story line told extraordinarily well, with the face you will know as Ron Weasley playing the unconfident youth who comes into his own with the help of a high spirited old lady. His mother is an overbearing type, played perfectly by Laura Linney and the character of Evie is a delight. She is a show stealer.

You've seen the story line before, but this is craftily done. IMDB had a critique that said the young man's part was more reactionary, but I think it had to be.

If I could figure out the settings on these laptop thumb things, I'd make a link. But I don't seem to be able to do it sans a traditional old mouse. Sorry about that.
