Sex Drive

Teen comedy dives into R-rated trend

According to mainstream Hollywood, sex is the only thing on every teenage boy’s mind. He will do anything get it.

Ian is still a virgin. And because of peer pressure and hormones, he’s working as hard as he can to change that. An online friend who lives several states away offers to steal his virginity, so Ian and his friends steal his brother’s souped-up car for a road trip to make it happen. Craziness ensues.

Sex Drive is like a mix of American Pie and Road Trip with aspirations of being Superbad. While, yes, it is extremely funny, many times it dips into disgusting and gross comedic gags that nobody wants to see. And that is where it becomes vulgar and grotesque. Be warned.

If you like those types of movies, then don’t miss Sex Drive. If you want to see James Marsden (X-Men, Enchanted, Hairspray) stealing the show with his best character yet, and easily the best character in the movie, then you have another reason to check it out.
