Trivia
Writer and Director Jeremy Brock chose Rupert Grint for the lead role because he felt that he had been underused in the third and fourth installments of the Harry Potter film franchise.

Goofs
When Evie and Ben are looking at the lake it is flat calm. When the camera looks at them the lake behind has waves.

Quotes
Sarah: You're very angry, aren't you? Don't be. You're still God's gift. Every day God gives us is a gift. That's why we call it the present.
Ben: Fuck off, Sarah.

Crazy credits
In the opening titles, the names of the main cast and crew are arranged around a map as if they were street names.

Alternate versions
The UK version is the director's cut where in the US version many scenes had to be cut in order to retain a PG-13 rating along with dubbing some F words to "Sod."

Love this movie

Loved this movie, what a hoot. Rupert and Julie are great together with Rupert being almost poker faced against Julie's animation, which worked well. Laura did a good job as the overbearing mother.Julie of course is marvellous as usual. While this movie will keep you laughing most of the time it also has a poignant side to it as it unravels the secrets in the lives of the main characters. Interesting that it was entitled Driving Lessons as this might lead you to believe this is the main feature of the movie which directly it is not though it certainly could be seen as "Ben" finally being in the driving seat in his own life. Like most things that are funny in life there is always the sad side and there are some moving moments in this movie. Very enjoyable movie and well worth watching.
