Day 139: "It's what I live for, fixing other people's s**t for free.."

OK, so I'm on a bit of a comedy kick right now.  Even bad ones.  Like Sex Drive.  The story of one teenage boy's quest to drive halfway across the country to lose his virginity to a hot girl he met on the internet.  That's it in a nutshell.  Nothing deep, just the misadventures of the hormonally challenged and his friends.  The laughs are pretty predictable, although, i have to admit to laughing really hard during the Amish encounters during the middle.  It's a good thing they don't go to movies, or they'd probably be pretty pissed about the portrayal of their particular brand of culture.  Just sayin', but that was the best part of the movie.  A lot of midwest America is skewered here to be honest, from county fairs to abstinence clubs to trailer park denizens (but lets face it, all of these are ripe for ridicule).  As predictable as all of this was, I still found myself laughing at the sheer stupidity of it all.

Josh Zuckerman is Ian, the kid on the quest to get some.  There's nothing really original about the character: nerdy teenage boy, too many hormones running through his veins, a weakness for peer pressure, and a girl for a best friend.  Carl Duke is his over-confident buddy Lance, who talks Ian into his cross country drive.  Amanda Crew is Ian's childhood female friend Felicia, who makes a few self-discoveries of her own on their trip.  The best actor in this movie is Seth Green.  He plays Ezekiel, the (forgive the description) world-wise, smart ass, brilliantly guilt-playing Amish guy who helps our group out in their time of great need.  His character is worth seeing the movie for alone.

So, an average teen sex, road trip comedy with the occasionally funny scenes thrown in to keep me watching.  Seriously though, Seth green makes this worth the short time investment.  The guy is great, the rest  of the movie, not so much.  6.5/10.

See you tomorrow, and GO WATCH A MOVIE!!
