1989 - Driving Miss Daisy: "Mama cars don't behave. They are behaved upon"


1989 Best Picture

Premiered December 15, 1989

Budget $7 Million

Gross $107 Million

This movie is so sweet and charming. We thought it was going to go down the racism route but it really did not. The movie was all about friendship. It was one of the few movies we've experienced that left us feeling warm and happy. 

The acting was superb. Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman had amazing chemistry. Their on screen relationship won us over and earned it three popcorn bags. 

Callie
Favorite: I loved Morgan Freeman's character.
Least Favorite: As Miss Daisy made changes in her life, I wished that she would have reached out to her family more. 

Joel
Favorite: The relationship between Daisy and Hoke was entertaining and wonderful to watch.
Least Favorite: The movie was based on a stage play and could have done more to remind you that you were watching a movie and not a stage play.
