Rama’s SCREEN

It’s too bad SEX DRIVE only earned about $3.5 Million in its opening weekend… a huge loss considering it took $19 Million to make the movie. It’s a really funny sex comedy, but I don’t think audiences would wanna give it a fighting chance. And man, I still can’t get over Amanda Crew, she is just the cutest thing.
The SEX DRIVE screenwriting duo Sean Anders and John Morris have made a pact again with Summit Entertainment.

According to Variety, this is, in short, what the movie’s going to be about… wild college sophomore who discovers that a woman with whom he had a one-night stand with the year before, has been killed in a car wreck and that the baby he never knew he had fathered is now his.

Damn, sounds more like a drama to me.
