All in all, SexDrive wasn't a bad film. It obviously isn't Oscar-worthy, nor does it even stand out amongst its peers (while far stronger than College, it is on the same plain or perhaps a bit lower than Nick and Norah's). I entered this film with high hopes for it had a very strong trailer as witnessed before Tropic Thunder.
Unfortunately, this film did not meet all expectations. The strongest performance was had by James Marsden, who continues his meteoric rise through the annals of Hollywood. The former X-Men, Enchanted and 27 Dresses man showed versatility as the bad-ass big brother of the main protagonist Ian.
Ian himself was an unbelievably stereotyped character who was not at all realistic. I happen to be a sensitive, and in fact was involved in a relationship very similar to the friendship portrayed between the two main characters, however I can let you know that no one is that lame, and at no point did Ian seem real to me.
The character development was extremely spotty. The audience never really was able to connect with any of the characters, and the story line was only engaging about half the time.
The actual funny jokes were there though, and i guess that is the entire purpose of this film, therefore I guess it is more success than failure. I wish that they didn't focus so much on teenage stereotype and worked more into Amanda Crew's character because she is a beautiful young actress who could've used some more context.
