Don't get me wrong Sex Drive is crude, rude, smart, and funny.
My problem is this: I have seen it too many times now - really.
If this film had come out 10 years ago it would have been great but not it suffers from severe retread. Teen movies are starting to suffer from the same problem that John Hughes had in the 1980s - been there, done that.
We watched Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist the other night and then this and they are a universe apart. The first is a real film, with originality and laughs, and the second gets its laughs by pushing the buttons.
As I said this is funny, you will laugh, but boy, this kind of film is starting to get old...
