Sex Drive (2008): Dir: Sean Anders / Cast: Josh Zuckerman, Amanda Crew, Clark Duke, James Marsden, Katrina Bowden: Raunchy teen comedy about our inner urgings and a long drive Josh Zuckerman embarks upon with his friends, played by Amanda Crew and Clark Duke so that he can lose his virginity to a woman he met via Internet. Great setup establishes his home life and work where he plays mascot for a donut shop. Directed by Sean Anders with great location appeal. Zuckerman holds strong going from insecure to discovering hard facts about his intended dream date. Crew and Duke are well rounded as his accompanying friends. Zuckerman secretly likes Crew but claims to be visiting his sick grandmother when she joins the odyssey. The whole idea of him losing his virginity to her in the conclusion marks a negative message since many unplanned pregnancies occur from just such moments. Duke gets caught up in an Amish community where things aren't as traditional as first thought. James Marsden steals scenes as his overbearing homophobic brother. Katrina Bowden is the beautiful Internet lure that strings Zuckerman along with false hope. A case could be made regarding Internet relationships and the risks involved but that is hardly the ambition of this sex farce. It is at home in its vulgar teen spirit that may drive home to its target viewers. Score: 7 / 10
