Read Chris's film review of Driving Lessons

The extras are disappointing, both low on quantity and quality.

The director commentary especially is to be avoided at all costs. While Brock does have some interesting comments on the little details of the film that would most likely have previously gone unnoticed, his voice is incredibly dreary and his comments out of sync with the scenes, making for a boring and confusing watch. In fact, if you watch the commentary on fast-forward, which I tried after the first half-hour of tedium, you can still understand the director perfectly, at a much more enjoyable pace.

Copy picture

The double interview of Walters and Grint is predictable and very short, and the director interview sees Brock dealing out the same old pack-of-cards with his infuriatingly slow style.

Then all that’s left are the trailers, which are surprisingly enticing.
