Even the humor works best when not located front-and-center: a rack of guacamole donuts behind Ian at Señor Donut draws a smile, but a scene in which Ian talks to a toddler while dressed like a donut with an erection is less successful. The good news is that after an hour or so of painfully rehashed teen movie clichés, “Sex Drive” begins to pick up. When all the characters and events leading up to Knoxville come together...
