Sex Drive is another raunchy teen-comedy that is actually quite a bit funnier than it has a right to be. In fact, I believe its the best one to come around in quite a few years.

Ian (Josh Zuckerman) is a recently graduated teenage boy who, much to his dismay (and apparently the dismay of everyone around him) is still a virgin. But when an internet connection looks like it might pan out to a night of romance, he decides to drive cross-country to meet Ms. Tasty (Katrina Bowden). Tagging along on this adventure are his two best friends, Lance (Clark Duke) and Felicia (Amanda Crew). The thing is, Ian actually has feelings for Felicia, but neither one of them want to mess up their friendship, and besides that, Ian recently found out Felicia likes Lance. Of course, Lance himself is an odd character. Despite his less than ideal physique, he seems to be able to sleep with pretty much any woman he approaches and everyone wants to be his friend.

So Ian steals his older brother's classic car, The Judge, and hits the road. But Ian and his friends will have hell to pay when Rex (James Marsden, X-Men, Enchanted) finds out his baby of a vehicle is missing.

Their journey takes them through some redneck areas and eventually into Amish country where the gang meets up with Ezekiel (Seth Green), a sarcastic, wise-cracking Amish guy. And while Green is only in the movie for a few scenes, he definitely steals the stage every time. Ezekiel helps the gang out when The Judge breaks down on the side of the road. But even when Ezekiel isn't on the screen, the movie is a lot of great fun with a pretty good story.

Interestingly enough, this Unrated and Cream-Filled Blu-ray edition comes with a unique take on the standard "unrated" version. While it contains the theatrical version of the film, the unrated version doesn't just add a few extra seconds or minutes of footage that might be a bit riskier. Instead, the creators not only add in the various deleted scenes and bloopers, but they also go out of their way to add random acts of nudity. Occasionally nude people (both male and female) will wander in front of the camera (or juggle, or run through a cornfield, or sit on a car). As the movie's writers, Sean Anders and John Morris, say, they are tired of an unrated version to simply not be worth it. They also say that, because they have added in all the stuff that they cut out while editing, this version is nowhere near as good as the theatrical release and should definitely be watched only after seeing the movie the way it was intended. I actually enjoyed the unrated version of the film a lot. Nudity aside (not that it hurt the film), I enjoyed watching the deleted scenes in the context of the movie instead of just seeing them as stand-alone clips. I remember when I got my first DVD and saw that it had deleted scenes on it, I had hoped they were in-movie, but they weren't. Now several years and another media format later, I finally get that feature. But like the writers said, this version should be watched second - and not with children in the room.

The Blu-ray release comes with a few other special features as well. The featurettes mostly consist of interviews with the cast, and most of those interviews have each of the members poking fun at the rest of the cast. Though oddly enough, the Blu-ray version has one less feature than the standard-def version. The DVD Version has a comedic bit called "Killing Time in Hollywood" that has one of the actors acting like Randy "Macho Man" Savage.

All-in-all, Sex Drive is a fun film that is worth a couple of viewings. While most of the cast isn't all that famous, everyone does the job. I especially liked Marsden as the asshole brother. This movie is worth seeing at least once, at least if you tend to like this type of film.
