Sex Drive review

Two words to start this review off: "Trojan War." Trojan War is a movie made back in the day with Jennifer Love Hewitt, amongst others, feel free to use the IMDB search bar at the bottom of the page to look into it. The reason why I bring up such an obscure movie is that its the same movie as this one is, down to the very last joke.
The characters are simple in Sex Drive, you have the wallflower virgin, looking for love, you have the confident best friend, practically swimming in women, you have the gorgeous woman who happens to be the wallflowers best friend. You see, the gorgeous woman and the wallflower love each other, but the audience is the only ones who realize this until the climax of the movie. The final character is the car, it represents sin, and is usually the first thing that breaks the wallflower lead out of his shell of lameness. In Sex Drives case, the sin incarnate is a 1969 GTO Judge, a truly sweet car that has sin written all over it.

When you rent the DVD, there are two sides, the first side is the traditional PG-13 movie, which has the normal pee-pee jokes, and the unrated movie has all the same jokes. The payoff for the unrated version, however, is the intro. In the beginning, they say they hate when they just put in an "extra tit" so they just show a naked woman right there, and if that wasn't enough, they have some wang next to the director saying how this won't be just the same old movie. They were right, they just add a random woman walking through the scene, completely natural. On top of the complete randomness of that, they also show a few outtakes, left in the movie, which, in my opinion is some of the funniest of the jokes in the movie. The best is "ooh, Cyclops!"

There are good parts of the movie, besides the sheer raunchiness, James Marsden is hilariously funny, and easily carried the film, and provided for the funniest moments in the movie for me. The other good character was Seth Green. Green is a minor character, but provided the remaining humor in the movie.

With the exception of Green and Marsden, you can pretty much fast forward through the rest of this cliche ridden movie. While it's funny, it is easily forgettable and will quickly go back to Netflix without much of a second thought.

I recommend catching this if your in the mood for some cheesy fun, but, whatever you do, make sure the parents aren't in the room, and in the name of all that is holy, don't pay to watch it.
