Movie Reviews of Driving Miss Daisy (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Ages Well
Summary: 5 Stars
This film, if you can believe it, is 20 yrs. old! Normally, one has to make allowances when watching older films, for cultural disconnect and production values, but this film holds ups perfectly after all these years. If it were released today it would be just a popular as it was then. Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy's acting is superb and will go down in history as some of the best performances in film ever. If all that doesn't convince you to check this one out, I don't know what will!
Summary of Driving Miss Daisy (Special Edition)
Four Academy Awards(R) including Best Picture! The funny, tender story of a feisty Southern lady and her chauffeur, fueled by the starpower of Jessica Tandy, Morgan Freeman and Dan Aykroyd.Winner of the Academy Award for best picture of 1989, this gracefully moving drama, adapted from the hit play by Alfred Uhry, chronicles the 25-year friendship between a stubborn, aging Southern widow (Jessica Tandy) and her loyal chauffeur (Morgan Freeman). At first, the self-sufficient Miss Daisy is reluctant to accept the services of a chauffeur, but Hoke is quiet, wise, and tolerant, and as the years pass the unlikely friends develop a deep mutual respect and admiration. Tandy deservedly won the Oscar for her sassy and sensitive performance, and Freeman earned an Oscar nomination for bringing quiet depth and integrity to his memorable role. Ironically, director Bruce Beresford (Tender Mercies) was not nominated, but the film won Oscars for makeup and for Uhry's screenplay, in addition to a supporting actor nomination for Dan Aykroyd as Daisy's supportive son. Delicate, funny, and bittersweet, Driving Miss Daisy was a surprise hit when released, and marked the crowning achievement of Tandy's great career. --Jeff Shannon
