Sex Drive (2008): Dir: Sean Anders / Cast: Josh Zuckerman, Amanda Crew, Clark Duke, James Marsden, Katrina Bowden: Raunchy teen comedy about our inner urgings and a long drive Josh Zuckerman embarks upon with his friends, played by Amanda Crew and Clark Duke so that he can lose his virginity to a woman he met via Internet. Great setup establishes his home life and work where he plays mascot for a donut shop. Directed by Sean Anders with great location appeal. Zuckerman holds strong going from insecure to discovering hard facts about his intended dream date. Crew and Duke are well rounded as his accompanying friends. Zuckerman secretly likes Crew but claims to be visiting his sick grandmother when she joins the odyssey. The whole idea of him losing his virginity to her in the conclusion marks a negative message since many unplanned pregnancies occur from just such moments. Duke gets caught up in an Amish community where things aren't as traditional as first thought. James Marsden steals scenes as his overbearing homophobic brother. Katrina Bowden is the beautiful Internet lure that strings Zuckerman along with false hope. A case could be made regarding Internet relationships and the risks involved but that is hardly the ambition of this sex farce. It is at home in its vulgar teen spirit that may drive home to its target viewers. Score: 7 / 10
Man, if you enjoy raunchy, hilarious stuff... Watch this movie. I had zero expectations and it was easily one of the funniest single things I've ever seen in my life. Mostly B Rate actors, but they absolutely nail their parts. The two kids in the Tokyo-drift-mobile are amazing. One of them is "Scotty P" from We're the Millers (when he was even younger)and should get way more work than he does. Seth Green as the Amish guy is untouchable. The "Ode to Stiffler" brother character is better than I could ever imagine.. Just watch it. Trust me. Best under the radar comedy in history. It's a usual Road Trip style, go-find-the-girl-and-get-laid story line, but the comedy writing is incredible and absolutely over the top. I swear I have probably never laughed so hard in my life. Whoever wrote this script is an absolute genius. It still blows my mind how many of my friends have not seen this, and every one I've told to watch it that actually has, now has it in their collection.
I saw the title and rightfully assumed it was a teen based movie about perhaps losing virginity or having lots of sex, and even though it was rated one out of five stars I was up for at least trying it and seeing whether I would disagree with that opinion, directed by Sean Anders (writer of Hot Tub Time Machine and Mr. Popper's Penguins). Basically in Chicago shy and naive eighteen year old high school senior Ian Lafferty (Austin Powers in Goldmember's Josh Zuckerman) is still a virgin, which is easy for his homophobic brother Rex (James Marsden) to mock, but he has best friends Lance (Clark Duke) who although being a little geeky gets all the women, and beautiful Felicia (Amanda Crew) who has been his friend since childhood but he secretly may love. Ian has been chatting to a girl on the internet called Ms Tasty in Knoxville, Tennessee, and he has been lying on the profile to make him look and sound more confident and manly, they have been chatting a while, and he is surprised when she invites him to see her and sounds happy to "go all the way". With the opportunity to have sex and lose his virginity he steals his brother's 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge and plans to drive from Brookfield, Illinois to her, Lance is happy to join him to see him achieve his goal, and Felicia comes with them as well, told that they are visiting Ian's sick grandmother. On the journey they encounter many problems and interesting situations, including hitchhikers that turn hostile, state troopers that put them in a cell, and a night of fun on behalf of farmer Ezekiel (Seth Green) with the Amish community called Rumspringa, where they abandon their beliefs and do whatever they like, but more than anything Ian and Felicia are getting closer. They finally reach their destination, where Rex also catches up, but Ian is allowed to see Ms Tasty (Katrina Bowden) by his brother after claiming he may be gay and having sex with the girl may make him straight again, she does turn up and she is beautiful, but then he realises he loves Felicia. So Ms Tasty threatens him to take his clothes off, and then her psychotic boyfriend Bobby Jo (Dave Sheridan) comes out pointing a gun, and they try to steal Rex's car, and Felicia gets involved in the situation and needs saving, and a small number of earlier characters get involved in the situation, but everything eventually calms down. In the end Lance decides he would prefer the life in the Amish community and to marry beautiful Mary (Alice Greczyn), and Ian and Felicia both realise they love each other and have done for a long time, he loses his virginity with her on New Year's Eve, and Rex comes out as gay after all, we also see the band Fall Out Boy with Ezekiel. Also starring Michael Cudlitz as Rick, Charlie McDermott as Andy and Mark L. Young as Randy. Most of the cast are fine, Zuckerman playing the typical foolish virgin, Duke as an alternative sex pest, Crew being slightly kooky but lovely, and Green as an unusual Amish guy, the story is nothing new, it is essentially another Road Trip, but travelling to have sex and pop the cherry, I agree with the one star out of five rating by critics, it is low on original humour, it was mostly crude and stupid humour, and only the Will They/Won't They? element kept me going, and some kinky stuff, apart from that it is a pointless comedy. Pretty poor!
I was surprised this only got an average rating of 6.7! So I rated it at 10 (to raise the ave) but honestly give it an 8!I had no preconceptions about this film, I read some of the comments on here and decided to give it a go. I got a phone call 12 mins into the movie, and realised I had already laughed out loud 4 times! This continued until the end of the film for me.It's a classic stupid road trip comedy, and yes to all the haters, IT WAS MEANT TO BE A STUPID MOVIE.I'm not sure why people hated it so much, all I can think is that they weren't in a very good frame of mind when they watched it.I was in a relaxed mood, a little bored maybe, and was laughing through out the whole movie.Yes it was cliché and immature and unrealistic, but to me that's what made it so funny.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for easy going people (with a GSOH) who enjoy good harmless zany fun!
