Customer Reviews of Driving Miss Daisy (Special Edition)
I'm loving Miss Daisy My wife raved about this movie for months before I actually sat down and watched it, and after the credits began to roll I think I enjoyed it more than she did. What I expected to bore me to tears in actuality kept me well entertained for its entire duration. The story of an elderly stubborn southern woman named Daisy and her chauffeur Hoke rose from ashes of mediocrity and became a brilliantly scripted and acted film about learning to accept people for who they are on the inside, not on the outside. Jessica Tandy is brilliant as Daisy. When she crashes her car her son Boolie (Aykroyd) makes it known she can no longer drive and hires a chauffeur for her. That chauffeur is quite and well mannered Hoke (Freeman), a black man who wins over Daisy's heart, and ours too, with his mild manner and caring concern for his employer. The chemistry between the two of them is so spot on it makes the entire film a delight. I'm not surprised it won for best picture, I'm delighted!
Driving Miss Daisy
I'm 15 years behind most of you, but I've seen it now. It's wonderful. Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman. This film covers 15 or 20 years in the life of Miss Daisy, beginning with her wrecking the car. Her son hires a chauffeur against her wishes. Etc. Dan Ackroyd shows us that he can act. After GHOSTBUSTERS and BLUES BROTHERS I had my doubts.

>This deceptively simple story works because Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy are so skilled. I think Freeman was more deserving of an Oscar than Tandy, but I'm not knocking her win when I say that. Set in the South, starting in the early 1950s, and as a Southerner myself I particularly enjoyed the authentic dialogue. It covered some "heavy issues" with a light touch, but that's because it wasn't about those issues. It was about its characters. And hey, we know the issues already. This is simply a wonderful film. I'll watch it again. It's rare for "critical acclaim" to equal "Mikey likes it," but it happened this time.

Driving Miss Daisy (Special Edition)
Finally a decent, dirt-speck free, clean print of this fine film. Also includes a few new bonus extras on the making of the film, as well as interesting commentary by its director. It'll make you want to head south for a plate of fried green tomatoes!
