A mediocre teen sex comedy with a cast of competent young actors, "Sex Drive" misses the mark.

18-year-old virgin Ian (Josh Zuckerman) flirts online from his Chicago home with a girl in Knoxville, Tennessee.

An altered photo allows Ian to pretend he's a muscular football star rather than the lusty nerd he is in his daily life.

When the girl promises to put an end to Ian's days as a virgin, if he'll drive his brother's 1969 GTO to Knoxville, Ian bring's along his longtime girlfriend-without-benefits Felicia (Amanda Crew) and his best friend Lance (Clark Duke), a chubby-but-gifted lady's man.

The road trip is momentarily livened by an irony loving Amish auto mechanic played with wit by Seth Green.

An obligatory smattering of gross-out humor and a litany of erotic hopes and fears get ground up in a slapstick approach to an already diminishing genre.

"Sex Drive" is no "Superbad."

Rated R. 109 mins.
