Sex Drive

Release Year: 2008

Director: Sean Anders

Review: A completely forgettable teen comedy, 'Sex Drive' never deviates from the sex comedy template.  The premise is familiar. An awkward teen is looking to lose his virginity, but the girl he likes only wants to be friends.  He turns to the internet and finds a dream girl, the only catch is that he has to go on a road trip to see her which of course is complicated when he and his two friends meet all sorts of sexually charged obstacles.  It's not that this was a completely miserable experience, but there is nothing new here.  You get exactly what you think.  Shallow, crass, humor.  Some of it hits, some of it misses, but its not going to push any boundaries or break new ground for itself.  Any one of its scenes could have been clipped from the mountain of other movies or TV shows exactly like it.  The one redeeming element was James Marsden who does play a great super intense, homophobic, older brother.  But the other acting was nothing special, which sums up the movie as a whole.  It has some laughs, but there is nothing to really get behind.
Rating: 2/5
