Rating 3/4 stars.
It gets harder and harder to rate and review Raunchy Comedies nowadays because they seem all the same. Toilet humor, stupid teens, and random sex scenes all in the first twenty minutes. But I hate to say it. "Sex Drive's" humor, was funny.
I watched the unrated edition of this and was warned by the filmmakers this is basically the "Chopped and Screwed" print of the film. There was full frontal women nudity popping up on screen consistently, dubbed lines, and close up extended shots of private parts. It kinda bugged me Netflix didn't have the theatrical cut, but I was able to deal with it.
The plot revolves around a shy eighteen year old virgin protagonist named Ian Lafferty (Josh Zuckerman). He is not athletic, fails to impress women, and just a nobody. He turns into an athletic, full of fun and danger, who is a somebody when he talks to his online gal pal dubbed "Ms. Tasty" (Katrina Bowden). He acts cool around her, and is hiding his true feelings from his best friend Felicia Alpine (Amanda Crew). When "Ms. Tasty" asks Ian if they could meet in Knoxville, Tennessee. He grabs his two closest friends Felicia and Lance (Clark Duke) and head on a trip from Chicago to Knoxville.
In their path they find joking Amish men, a dim-witted hitchhiker, a scary old couple, and way more on their quest to meet "Ms. Tasty". All the way down their Ian hides his true feelings for Felicia. With them being in Platonic love he fears if his true feelings unleash, a new problem will arise.
"Sex Drive" is like "The Hangover". Funny and lively and actually working with one another to make a good movie. When you see movies like "Band Camp", "18 Year Old Virgin", and "Strike", you call them wanna-be comedies. They dont have a good story, they have terrible editing, and no humor at all.
Some humor in this was laugh out loud kind. I found some unneeded gay dialogue which felt uncomfortable in place. But for the most part "Sex Drive" is a pleasant Comedy, equipped with plenty of laughs, a good story, and an excellent cameo by Seth Green.
Starring: Josh Zuckerman, Clark Duke. Amanda Crew, James Marsden, and Seth Green. Directed by: Sean Anders.
