The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Man, if you enjoy raunchy, hilarious stuff... Watch this movie. I had zero expectations and it was easily one of the funniest single things I've ever seen in my life. Mostly B Rate actors, but they absolutely nail their parts. The two kids in the Tokyo-drift-mobile are amazing. One of them is "Scotty P" from We're the Millers (when he was even younger)and should get way more work than he does. Seth Green as the Amish guy is untouchable. The "Ode to Stiffler" brother character is better than I could ever imagine.. Just watch it. Trust me. Best under the radar comedy in history. It's a usual Road Trip style, go-find-the-girl-and-get-laid story line, but the comedy writing is incredible and absolutely over the top. I swear I have probably never laughed so hard in my life. Whoever wrote this script is an absolute genius. It still blows my mind how many of my friends have not seen this, and every one I've told to watch it that actually has, now has it in their collection.

Don't get me wrong… 'Sex Drive' is no classic, nor will it have you laughing every minute of the (quite long – 1h 44min) runtime. However, 'American Pie' it may not be, but quite reasonable fun it is.It's about your average geeky guy and his attempt at going on a road trip across America with the prospect of… well, getting 'friendly' with a young lady. What follows is basically one awkward (and normally sexual) scenario after then next. These pass as a 'story' as they get closer and closer to their overall destination.Yes, it's hardly Shakespeare, but there were a decent enough amount of 'laugh out loud' moments. For me these mainly came from people falling over or hurting themselves (believe it or not… I do also like intelligent comedy). I suppose this confirms that 'Sex Drive' is 'low-brow' humour at best. However, if you know what you're getting and are in the mood for an American Pie-like teen comedy which, although doesn't cover any new ground, will at least keep you entertained for a while, then this one is worth a look.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Happened to have this on CC as I was fixing my bike. Had heard of it, and expected it to be the stereotypical teen exploitation film, filled with cardboard cutout characters representing an adult idea of what a young adult might want.Instead, it's a smart film with characters that represent actual humans, and with certain subtleties that you would never expect.You won't mistake it for Fellini, and there's plenty of the usual red-meat clichés of the genre, but it's closer to the mark than most, and clearly someone--writer, director?--had more in mind than just a cheap money making knockoff, although undoubtedly there were some participants who must have had that in mind too.The casting is smart. The Amish subplot is unexpected and works a few unexpected things. And the pick-up artist character (Lance?) is interestingly well drawn, written and acted with some unexpected depth. The lack of gratitude angle played out in the Seth Green subplot is one that I don't think has been done before in a film like this, and is actually a bit daring for a genre that mostly deals with tropes and flattery.

"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.
