For all of those who loved SuperBad, Sex Drive is the movie for you. I would go as far as saying that it is the new SuperBad. This instant classic is about a guy named Ian who met a girl named “Ms. Tasty” online. As he debates whether or not to drive the 8 hours to Knoxville, TN to meet her, Ian”s friend Lance convinces to go and they set out on their own road trip. One problem though, Felicia, Ian’s best friend since childhood, who he has strong feelings for, joins them on their quest thinking that Ian is going to visit his ailing grandmother. Let the games begin! From here on out it is nothing but hysterical misadventure as they overcome obstacles such as jealous boyfriends, car troubles, hitch hikers, and great cultural connection with a sarcastic Amish man played by Seth Green. With their minds set on getting to Knoxville, you will then see how Ian”s “sex drive” drives them, and will surely make you laugh until tears leave your eyes and your sides hurt.
The Good - Great cast and humor. Will become an instant classic to today”s comedies.
The Bad - About 3 or 4 possible endings, they just needed to use the very last scene and it would have been good.
The Ugly - Some of the situations they found themselves in, but that is what made the movie hysterical.
