REVIEW Asleep at the Wheel By CHRIS CHASE ** LICENSE TO DRIVE. Corey Haim, Corey Feldman. Directed by Greg Beeman. At area theaters. Running time: 1 hour, 30 minutes. Rated PG-13. OTHING ELSE IN N this nating movie as the is as produc- fascition notes that explain how a stunt double, with a Carol Kane mask on the back of his head, worked a steering wheel attached to the back wheels of a Cadillac, so the car appeared to be going backward. 'LICENSE TO DRIVE': (L. to r.) Corey Haim, Richard Masur and Corey Feldman "License to Drive" is an adolescent boy's fantasy. It's about getting girls because you've got a driver's license. As Dean (Corey Feldman) asks his best friend, Les (Corey Haim), hasn't Les suffered "16 years of humiliation watching pretty girls drive off with some other jerk?" Unfortunately, Les tends to sleep through his driver's-ed class, which means he fails the questions and answers part of the test, though he can handle a wheel like Mario Andretti. So, no -a fact that delights his father. "You just saved me $26,000- $23,000 for the BMW, and $3,000 for the insurance." Now the girl of Les' dreams, Mercedes (Heather Graham) loves Paolo (M.A. Nickles), who is handsome and says "Ciao," but Dean assures Les that doesn't matter. "The only difference between you and that greaseball is a license." So Les steals his grandfather's car and he and his buddies and Mercedes embark on a joy ride. Nobody in the audience suffers a doubt about what's going g to happen to Grandpa's car. James Avery is funny as a Department of Motor Vehicles examiner; Carol Kane seems strange, though cheerful, as a mother whose diet consists of huge bowls of rice laced with ketchup; there is a good deal of adolescent swaggering and belching, and would guess 12-year-old males would be the picture's chief admirers. One thing I found less than responsible was the depiction of a totally drunken driver as an amusing character.
