Sex Drive

Impressions before seeing it
Wasn't really looking forward to it, because we don't need more teen sex comedy road trip movies (Wasn't a fan of Road Trip, but I did like some things about Eurotrip). Although I might've changed my mind had I seen the above poster first, because how can you not want to see a movie involving a gun-wielding donut?

How was it?
First off, I was surprised to find that some of it was actually funny. I went into this with a stereotype in mind, and while it did almost entirely fulfill that stereotype, at least I got some laughs out of it. But none of the funny parts were in any of the trailers I remember seeing (sorry, ladies, I rarely find Seth Green funny outside of Robot Chicken), which again contributed to my low expectations.

Sex Drive follows the now overused formula of some friends wanting to get laid but then falling in love at the end, which is pretty much the plot of every teen comedy since American Pie, and with the same type of awkward/embarrassing situation humour that comes with that formula, "enhanced" here with a running gag where every time someone is caught in a compromising position, it's filmed or photographed and posted on the internet. I know this is the internet age and all, but I think it's a bit of a stretch that everything automatically gets posted. And just because something is on the internet it doesn't even mean a lot of people will see it (take this blog, for example), so that one didn't work for me. I also felt like they were trying way too hard to make James Marsden's character a Stiffler clone and, subsequently, push him as the funniest part of the movie, which he wasn't.

Recommendation
It was better than I expected, but I can't recommend it unless you're a huge fan of all these teen sex comedies. On the scale I'd say it's probably better than American Pie but not as good as Harold and Kumar or even Eurotrip.
