Awww...

BORING.

That's what we need in movies.  More scenes of older guys teaching kids how to drive a car.  How very coming-of-age.  And scenes where an older guy kicks some younger punk's ass with a coffee holder thing.  As an audience member, I just can't wait to cheer when he does that in the movie.

And Morgan Freeman looks like he's doing Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby combined in this role.
