I thought it was rather pleasant sounding.

Carol responds:
If you like either Rupert Grint (Ron in the HP films) or Julie Walters
(Molly Weasley), you'll enjoy seeing them together in "Driving
Lessons," in which Ron is the sweet and quiet son of a minister
(Anglican priest?) and his wife (the wife is a religious fanatic and
extremely manipulative, to say no more). They seem to be evangelical
Anglicans, if that's not a contradiction in terms. Julie Walters plays
a jaded and hard-drinking ex-actress who hires young Ben (Rupert) as a
kind of Boy Friday. the fun begins when she asks him to driver her to
Edinburgh (I believe), where she's supposed to do a poetry reading,
but Ben is still learning how to drive and doesn't have his license.

You'll probably hate the depiction of Ben's mother. His father, who
seems gentle and devout but would rather be birdwatching than having
dinner with his wife (who wouldn't?), is okay. If you don't mind some
vulgar humor and a foul-mouthed sixty-something woman, you'll probably
enjoy the film, if only for Rupert's innocence and the
English/Scottish countryside. (Rupert really didn't have his license
yet since he was underage when the movie was filmed; I think he
learned to drive along with his character, Ben.)

The young woman in the pub, Bryony (who looks at least ten years older
than Rupert), is played by Michelle Duncan, who is definitely Scottish
(and born in 1978--a bit scary for Rupert--or his character, Ben):

They were also in a Scottish bar. How would you describe that music,
Potioncat? Hard rock(?) and bagpipes? (I have a hard time
distinguishing post-seventies rock categories from one another.)

You can see photos and a couple of video clips from the film here:

Anyway, Geoff, the trailer will give you a really good indication of
what the movie is like and give you a glimpse of the girl (woman, I
should say) in the pub.

I don't want to say more for fear of spoiling it.

Carol, who, as usual, had trouble understanding some of the dialogue
but enjoyed the film, anyway
