Going into the movie, I was thinking this is going to be another disappointment in the sense of a crude comedy. It really wasn't that bad! It starts of with this guy, Ian, who is not a, lack for better words, 'ladies man'. He ventures online to find a girl to finally lose his virginity to, which takes him half way across the nation with his two friends. They run into a series of events that slow them down towards the meeting which actually add a lot of comedy into the movie. It is very predictable in the sense that he will fall in love with his friend, but there are many other twists and turns that you do not see coming. The movie overall to me is a solid seven and I would definitely watch it again!

MIGHT CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS All in all, this film has got to be one of the poorest, most disgusting, and derivative movies I've seen in a long time. My roommate was a fan of it and so I tagged along in watching it. It felt like a teenage version of Knocked Up, except less intelligent and way more graphic. Then again I was watching the unrated cut. It's very objectifying of females, but that's to be expected in a dude comedy. The main character, Ian, is delightfully dorky and out of touch with how to be cool. James Marsden (an unrecognizable James Marsden) is actually excellent as homophobic Rex, I'm not used to seeing him play non-straightlaced roles, which he is so good at (The Notebook, Straw Dogs). Wendy Crew from The Haunting In Connecticut gives a sweet and unassuming performance as Felicia, who tags along the Ms. Tastay road trip. But the excessive nudity (including a horrible scene involving a public ejaculation at a trauma conference) and disturbingly raunchy sex humor kills the movie's potential. The performances could be funny if the material was subtler, and had more depth. There are mere moments of potentially good filmmaking here, but they are squashed by - as Sean Anders or whoever said in the commentary - "more tits!" 4/10, a real failure but so bad it's kind of good.

"Sex Drive" is a coming-of-age-self-discovery film which is also a comedy. Ian, the main character, a young man of 18, feels the urge to lose his virginity, but not at home - this hasn't worked. He's never hooked up with a girl, despite his unrequited love for Felicia.Felicia's true feelings are masked: does she feel love for Lance, or does she secretly love Ian? The third major character, Lance, while seemingly content with himself and attractive to women, (why? I have no idea - he does nothing for me...) also has to come of age. He needs to find steady commitment, and not just jump from girl to girl. These three need to travel in order to fulfill themselves. The fourth major character is Rex. Too old to be living at home and going on motocrosses with his baby brother, he takes out his unspoken frustrations on his younger brother, Ian, challenging his sexuality by teasing him and calling him names. There are several catalysts in this story. For Ian, his is the girl he's been writing to on the internet, a certain "Miss Tasty". When he reaches his destination, he discovers that she's not genuine but menacing. He also gives up some of his predictability when he throws his shoes onto the "shoe tree." Felicia cannot reveal her true feelings until she is trapped in Ian's situation and has to be rescued by him. She will later help him "visit Grandma."Lance meets Mary, a girl different from the bimbos he's been associating with (excluding Felicia: she's no bimbo and she's off limits). Mary is Lance's catalyst. Another catalyst is Ezekiel, the Amish auto mechanic posing as a farmer, strictly local and unsophisticated, untraveled and inexperienced dairyman. He provides relief for Ian's mechanical troubles and is a calming influence. Rex discovers that his brother is more daring than he suspected. He discovers his car missing, and goes after Ian and The Judge with a vengeance, after having a destructive temper tantrum. Another catalyst is the redneck boyfriend of Brandy (a girl of indeterminate virtue who works at a truck stop and accepts random acts of kindness and sex).Many of the characters come together at a Big Boy parking lot in Knoxville, Tennessee. Ian becomes a hero,the redneck shows his friendly side, and Lance gets a deserved punch in the jaw, and Rex also gets his comeuppance by Miss Tasty's boyfriend and insight into Ian's bravery and chivalry. Rex doesn't show all of his true colors and secret until Thanksgiving, after which time Ian and Felicia "visit Grandma". Despite his "true confession," Rex has not forgotten his teasing nature, and seems to have developed a talent for lighting and throwing firecrackers at an inopportune time. Well acted by all the cast, and a genuinely funny script. Despite all the comparisons to other movies of the genre, it stands on its own and does not take itself at all seriously. It would be a mistake for anyone to do that. The two most comedic actors are Seth Green and James Marsden. Marsden is barely recognizable in bleached hair and a mustache and goatee. Anyone who tries to typecast him would be foolish; he will try anything and has no fear of making himself look and act ridiculous, doing it brilliantly. Green almost plays himself, but does it well. The rest of the cast are believable and likable. I cannot ask any more than that from an actor in a comedy: help me believe in you and like you, and use your comedic timing and ability. Then we'll all laugh and enjoy it. This happened in "Sex Drive," which probably scandalized many folks. If I were a young man, I could imagine identifying with all these characters.
