Another good Morgan Freeman movie. This is a nice tale about an onry penny pinching jew and her black driver set in the 50's/60's. Her black driver couldn't read and was somewhat ignorant. She was crotchety and wanted nothing to do with him.
While reading the IMDB about this movie, I found a review with a quote I really liked. The review said "You can spend millions on special effects and get a shitty movie. Or, you can spend the same amount on story and rely on the ability of the actors and come out with an award winner." I will stack this movie up against any blockbuster etc. It has a great soundtrack that really sticks with you. The relationship between Hoke and Daisy really make the movie. Dan Akroyd does a great job as Daisy's son who hires Hoke. Most of the comedy from this movie comes from Hoke's wise cracks. There is nothing wrong with "An old nigger and an old Jew lady" driving down the road.
