...Unfortunately for the audience, Rex’s role in the movie does not figure prominently. “Sex Drive” follows this theme throughout—getting the peripherals right, but lacking central content. The audience will probably walk away with the memory of minor details, like the soundtrack, which fits perfectly with a number of scenes in the movie. The way Instant Messenger graphics pop up like a thought bubble next to Ian while he’s online is clever. Seth Green is great as the random Amish car enthusiast, and Fall Out Boy makes...

The direct public health benefits of the ban would be minor at best. There are only four bars targeted by the measure, and most of their customers are likely to smoke in their homes or elsewhere if they cannot go to cigar bars. Thus, the measure is doing nothing to protect the health of the bars’ customers. Furthermore, smoking...
