I think is not a big thing. Kids since 12-13 years can watch it, because at this age, the kids are prepeared for some things that they should know. I also think that they are almost teenagers, and they should know almost everything about sexuality. So, the movie is not bad at all for kids of this age. i hope you are agree with me.

What Parents Need to Know
About Driving Lessons
Parents need to know that this coming-of-age story (which stars Rupert Grint, of Harry Potter fame) focuses largely on sexual awakening and insecurities. This involves the 17-year-old hero's mooning over a classmate, fretting over his mother's adulterous affair, and learning about the sexual interests of his employer, a retired actress. He ultimately loses his virginity to a college student (brief skin is visible). Several references (visual and verbal) to hitting women with cars. Some drinking and salty language, especially from Evie (a couple of "f--k"s, plus other profanity).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Evie and Ben's friendship. How is it unconventional, and what does he learn from her? How does she encourage him to rebel against his mother, and how does the movie make this seem like a "good" choice? Is Ben's father an unappealing role model? Why? Would it be possible for Ben and his mother to have a sincere discussion about his expanding interests (in art and literature, for instance), or is she too self-centered to understand him?

Hilarious
This movie was great. A great indie movie that had a lot of laughs. The acting was much better than I had thought. This is one that you want to leave your kids home for. There is some sexual stuff (conversations about gays, Ben having sex), language (2 f--ks, sh-t and other stuff). There is also some innocent church humor. Im a christian and i wasn't offended though. Great movie, 15+.
