When I went to see “Sexdrive,” I was expecting another “Superbad,” another awkwardly funny teen sex comedy. Not that that is a bad thing, mind you, I just wasn’t sure if it was going to be worth the $10.25 I paid to watch it.

I was wrong and was pleasantly surprised to find out the plot takes you for quite a wild ride.

The three main characters in the story, Ian, played by Josh Zuckerman; Felicia, played by Amanda Crew; and Lance, played by Clark Duke, are a strikingly good trio, and their distinct personalities work well together. Ian, a young virgin who has absolutely no luck with women, poses as a football player while trying to court a girl, who goes by the name Ms. Tasty, online. And that’s just how it starts out.

When the girl invites him to go “all the way,” he steals his brother’s GTO and heads to Knoxville with Felicia and Lance.

The ensuing road trip proves to be what one would expect: Getting caught in ridiculous sexual situations, racing down the highway to prove manliness, milking cows, etc. I mean, everything that could possibly screw with the group did and in the best ways possible.

Two supporting characters, Rex, played by James Marsden, and Ezekiel, played by Seth Green, will have you rolling with laughter in no time flat. Rex, Ian’s jerk of an older brother, is one crazy S.O.B. He’s a jerk, temperamental and a little insane. Trust me, though, his character will prove to be most entertaining. I know I enjoyed it immensely.

Ezekiel, on the other hand, will have you staring at the screen for a minute, wondering what the hell he just said. He’s definitely one of those characters you have to watch if you want to understand what is going on, but it is totally worth it in the end.

One of my favorite lines: “I refuse to be embarrassed by a car that looks like a Trapper Keeper.”

Those who enjoy witty humor are going to get a kick out of Lance. His sense of humor is dark at best, which balances poor Ian out perfectly, and is the cause of several accidents.

On the way, the group discovers sex isn’t the most important thing, and true love can be found in both odd and familiar places.

It’s not exactly stunningly original, but it’s still a hilarious film. The leads do a pretty good job. I recommend this movie to fans of comedy and awkward moments.
