Driving Miss Daisy is a really sweet and heartwarming movie. It's about the unlikely friendship between an elderly woman and her African-American chauffeur. The movie is full of humor and heart, and it's a great choice for a family movie night.

I think it only got the recognition it did because of Morgan Freeman. And it's about history, which everyone is supposed to love, even if not entertaining at all.
