Sex Drive

Heres the first of one of the reviews from my little notebook I got a while back.

"Sex Drive"


From Wikipedia - "Sex Drive is a 2008 comedy film about a high school senior who goes on a cross-country road trip to hook up with a girl he met online. It is based on the novel All the Way, by Andy Behrens. The film was directed by Sean Anders, and stars Josh Zuckerman, Clark Duke, and Amanda Crew. James Marsden and Seth Green appear in supporting roles"

The opening of the movie is reminiscent to the earlier American Pie movies, it almost seemed like a spin-off. For the most part, the movie was ever so predictable, and the storyline resembled 'Eurotrip', another 'Teen movie' released in the last decade. The story, in a nutshell, is basically about a boy in his late teens who has been talking to a girl over the internet, and basically goes on a DRIVE to see this girl, eventually to have SEX. Hence the name, Sex Drive.

There were a few decent laughs, moreso toward the end of the movie. The plot was predictable, as I mentioned before, and I saw the ending coming from a mile away, of course anyone could really, as the movie progressed, it became more and more clear what would happen.

Certain parts of the movie seemed a little irrellevant to the story, but it wasn't really a bad thing, just something worth mentioning, I guess.

Overall, the movie wasn't bad by any means, the director I've never actually heard of, but having James Marsden( X-Men I/II/II, Enchanted) and Seth Green(Family Guy, Goldmember) in the mix as supporting roles didn't hurt it at all. It could be the beginning of a new 'American Pie' type series.
