Review of Sex Drive (2008) by Fahmi I — 14 Sep 2009

I recently watched this movie, and I have to say, I had mixed feelings about it. It seems like an obvious attempt to cash in on 2007's Superbad's original storyline, humor, situations, and not to mention the great critical feedback it received.

Besides that, its plot was pretty thorough, and answered most of the questions you might have had in mind. Raunchy, yet charming, it combines teenage angst with a seemingly romantic twist. It leads you one way, and throws you the other when you least expect it.

It doesn't hold back, but it seems like it could go a bit further with its charm. It has a bit of unnecessitive content, things that the movie could be just as good without. I do, however, believe that the filmmaker has the potential to go far.

Overall, I'd give it 4 out of 10.
