Licence to Drive

So I went home early today, a bit under the weather today. I turned on the TV and flipped over to one of the random cable stations in the 50's, or 60's on the channel spectrum, and what do I come across, the late 80's movie "Licence to Drive." Yes - that "Licence to Drive", staring the dynamic duo of Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.

I always admit that I had a special place in my heart for this movie. It was a stupid teenage, bad hair, 80's movie, but for some reason it made me laugh - both then and now. It was released just before the world started getting too PC and you make jokes about drinking and driving. Heck, there was even adult sponsored underage drinking (okay, one sip or champagne during a toast). I hadn't see the movie in ages, but I do remember having a teenage crush on the female lead, who drank too much, and ends up passing out for half the movie.

I never knew who it was, and when watching the movie, she looked strangely familiar. A quick check on IMDB.com, and I found out it was an 18 year old Heather Graham, in one of her first feature films. I was stunned. I figured that she probably went the way of other incredibly beautiful 80's teen movie stars, like Sloan from "Ferris Buller's Day off" or Monique from "Better off Dead", who were one hit wonders. I was glad to see this was not the case and that this one ended up having a real career.

Too bad that is not the case for Corey and Corey. C'est la vie.
