    A Great Movie for Most Everyone!

    This is an inspiring movie filled with great role models and positive elements that promote truth, honesty, tolerance, and kindness. There is some brief language: infrequent "d**n"s and "h**l"s, and occasionally the nasty racist term "n****r".

    ooo..... soo sweet!

    What a sweet and touching movie! the last couple of minutes just had me crying tears of happiness.... and I hardly ever cry tears of happiness. And I needed it. . The movie was quite racist, though. a synagouge was bombed, though not shown, and use of the word jew, and the nasty "N" word, but thats about as bad as it gets as far as language and violence. and I just found out we're watching this movie in social studies this year, so hurray! Driving Miss Daisy is one of those movies that you can watch over and over and over and over again and never quite understand it, until you've felt an unbreakable friendship like Hoke and Miss Daisy's. they're both stubborn, in their own ways, and wont give up on eachother. Very moving I cant wait until half the school gets to see it.

    e.g. Perfect for older kids, but not for tweens

    Hopelessly politically correct.

    Incredible! Must-see!

    This movie is touching, and even maybe if kids find it boring, they would still partly enjoy the great friendship. I cried... and I chuckled. The end is moving.

    an excellent film on friendship in the time of segregation (and on)

    I found this movie in my parent's old movie shelf, and decided to watch it. All I can say is: this is an American classic, that vrey much deserved all the awards it won, and takes a light side (in a respctful way) on the issue of segregation and friendship. Taht being the case howver, there are mild racial slurs, as is to be expected. But other than that, my whole family watched it, and there wasn't anything objectionable.
