A simple enough diversion, but not very memorable, 5 April 2009
5/10
Author: MovieAddict2010 from UK

Sex Drive looked funny based on commercials I saw, and its early reviews were rather positive, but I was pretty disappointed. It was only marginally entertaining and came across like a really lame Superbad attempt at raunchy teen comedy. There are a few decent cameos (David Koechner is worth mentioning) but as a whole it falls flat, and it's so crude that its sweeter moments feel artificial. I could also go a full lifetime without seeing Clark Duke in a film ever again.

There is, however, one saving grace: James Marsden. Channeling all the clichéd "bad older brother" roles from '80s teen flicks (my first impression was Bill Paxton from Weird Science), Marsden's psychotically macho performance is deserving of a better film. The unrated cut of the film (which gives Marsden extended scenes of gay jokes) also deserves some credit — to separate it from typical cash-grab Director Cut DVDs, the filmmakers included random shots of porn stars against green scenes and integrated them into the film, just to make it truly different from the theatrical cut. Lots of penises and vaginas dropping out of nowhere. Funny in a gimmicky way, but it wears thin rather quickly, and is ultimately just a greater example of the film's sleazy edge.
