Reviews
"Daddy 's Cadillac is above average summer entertainment, especially when he has to get behind the wheel with the desire of the young hero. "
" Uninspired staged and unconvincingly played teenage comedy that unashamedly celebrates the fetish car and lacks any critical distance from the consumerist attitude of young people. "
" The film was a sporadically funny nonsense about a boy who falls through at the practical driving test, but the vintage truck his grandfather steals to impress a girl. "
