At least its coming to the US. Thats an improvement. Too bad it will take FOREVER to be released here because America sucks and thats the way we work. Woo hoo.

Man, Rupert Grint.

I do hope that Driving Lessons will be released here soon. It would be wonderful not to have to wait until it is released on video and then wait for Netfilx to have a copy available.

That's great news! I'm sure this is a fantastic movie- Rupert is a talented actor with an amazing career ahead of him...but he'll always be Ron Weasley to me!

WOW! When I first read that, I thought that Rupert is just now getting his driving lessons!! That scared me! But I saw that the type was in italics so it had to be a movie or something. But good luck Rupert!

I think that unfortunately, a lot of people may not be able to see it because it might be rated R. However, there's always DVD :)

I am so freaking excited about this. I have been waiting for someone to pick it up. I am so glad that someone did. I didn't want to have to wait for it to come out on DVD. That would have taken a while and then there was a good chance that I may not ever find it. I can't wait.

Well depending on the reviews and the previews that come with the movie, will depend on whether or not I see it. But I'll wait and see since it will most likely be a while before it reaches the US.
