SEX DRIVE

(US, 2009, d. Sean Anders)

Sometimes a film is reviewed just because it is there and someone might want to know something about it. Otherwise...
Sex Drive is one of those films.

The title says it all, though it does not specify that the drive is exhibited by some teenagers (who look under age), especially two friends who seem highly overcharged. The title also refers to their journey to meet a girl that one of them has linked up with on the internet. Sex is the goal.

The trouble is that for anyone over fourteen or fifteen, the humour, jokes, language and crassness is down there with the 'schoolboy', sniggery jokiness that thinks it has invented these jokes and that they are the funniest things you have ever seen and heard whereas...

There is really nothing to commend it. The Amish could well take exception to the leering way in which some of their members are raucously or lasciviously portrayed, although there is a moralising ending there. The only compensations should you happen to go to the film are some comic scenes with Seth Green as an Amish car repairer and a cleverly rude performance from James Marsden as the older brother with a secret. But, that is probably not compensation enough.
