Morgan Freeman, Dan Akroyd, and Jessica Tandy are absolutely wonderful in this movie that details an unspoken friendship between a fussy woman and her driver. From a historical view, there is an actual building/factory in Nashville, Tennessee named Werthan. December 24, 2008

The Bottom Line:

Painfully earnest and broad, Driving Miss Daisy charmed Oscar voters enough to make them forget that the movie generates almost no interesting character interaction or tension, but instead feels like a sappy made-for-TV movie with large chunks removed. December 18, 2008

rating: 4 QuoteTouching Story Teaches Valuable LessonQuote
This unforgettable film is timeless and can be enjoyed by the entire family. Its lessons are invaluable.

Tracing the autumn and winter years of Daisy Werthen through her relationship with her chauffeur, we learn how a woman of strong opinions can change her view of the world through the help of an uneducated yet wise man.

Morgan Freeman plays the part of the chauffeur, known as "Hoke," and Jessica Tandy is featured as the strong-willed curmudgeon, Miss Daisy. Over the years, Hoke becomes indispensable to Miss Daisy, despite her initial dismissive attitude toward the man. Through his kind nature and overall good character, he becomes her closest friend and she his staunchess ally.

This film will touch your heart at its very core and leave an indelible mark with a positive message to be learned by all. November 10, 2008

This is a wonderful movie. It let us know how things were in this country some years ago and in some instances still today.
It is a touching film.
Young people should watch this movie because they don't have a clue as to things that have happened in the past that they can grow from today.
Morgan Freeman, played a great part. His character was a mirror of what so many black men has gone through.
I've bought this movie several times brfore for myself. However, somehow I've either, given it away or loan it out. This time it will stay in my movie library. No giveaway, no loan out! Seriously, everyone, and I do mean everyone, young, old, black and white should buy this movie.
This is an old movie, but, it tells a real story.
