I cant agree with some that this move is hilarious but its very funny and does meet expectations when it comes to these kind of films. you get tits, penis jokes, weird characters and unexpected situations. its a road trip movie about friends and the awkward people they meet one the way. you've seen the story, you're familiar with the outcome and kind already see who is gonna fall in love or just bang who. but the little parts, the details and characters you do see for the first time do add up to the very entertaining atmosphere and good laughs. watch it i if you wanna relax, have a good time, with friends or whatever. its worth your time. you're not gonna feel like you wasted it.

Comedies can often focus too much on crude jokes and innuendos rather than characters and plot but this had a decent mixture.Quite a simple story really, about desperation to fit in and feel normal plus finding yourself a bit of happiness.All the characters are well acted and you can really relate to those personalities in the story. You begin to feel for Ian but also care for Felicia and Lance. The side characters are also quite amusing and help make the laughs and balance out the plot. His bullying brother was great, loved Seth Green in it and the vengeful boyfriend.Overall its pretty funny and actually got a nice sentiment behind the story, not just another sex film but there's these things called feelings involved (Yes I had to check the dictionary for feelings, they apparently are quite normal to have them) which make the story quite engaging.Would definitely watch again.

A pathetic movie, a complete waste of time and money, I'd rather watch paint dry. The characters are so unlikely and their actions even less so. The plot is so thin it's translucent, after 20 minutes the end was already known. Watching the last 30 minutes was like having a bad toothache. Sorry I'm sure there was talent somewhere around pity it didn't make it to the screen. A road trip movie can be a good one there have been several, a shame this is not one of them. Some of the characters are so unbelievable your attention wanes hoping that somewhere there may be a story. I can only hope that the writers and producers can find work elsewhere.

"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.
