I’m all for puns and catchy metaphors, but it has to be creative to actually work. One of the most important rules in screenwriting and filmmaking is to show the audience instead of telling them what’s happening. Movie goers don’t need to be educated they want to be entertained. Premiering at the Toronto Film Festival this year, Learning to Drive is an example of what doesn’t work when a cliché screenplay over shadows decent acting performances.
