Pierre_D Our Film Fridays group veered away from the classics for "Sex Drive" and, while not overly enthused with the result, were somewhat pleased to find some humour therein.The story revolves around young Ian (Josh Zuckerman) who gets embroiled with an internet hottie named Ms. Tasty in order to lose his virginity. Follow a bunch of sight-gags revolving around penises, breasts, flatulence, the Ahmish and James Marsden's over the top homophobic big brother to Ian.Ian, his pal Lance and Ian's beloved Felicia hitch Rex's (James Marsden) GTO to head to Knoxville. Along the way they encounter the movie's sole saving grace in Seth Green, who gets some genuine chuckles as the sarcasm-addicted Ahmish car repairman who saves the day for the group. The movie is quite uneven, however, going from a buddy movie to exploring teen longing to unnecessary gross out humour, leaving its message (Tell your crush that you love them and go from there) behind in some forced scenes. Hard to give this movie more than an average rating as the messages of friendship and longing have been explored much better in other movies. The cast isn't exactly crowd-friendly either. Zuckerman does fine as the overwhelmed teen but Clark Duke as Lance is as unlikeable as you can get in a precocious teen. Amanda Crew (along with most women in the movie) is a decoration, adding to the misogynistic overlay of the film.See only if in the same age group or if nothing else is on.

Jackson Booth-Millard 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!

ABT ... 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!

NorthernSoulGuy 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.
