The most notable thing about Sex Drive, an aggressively puerile, fitfully amusing and sluggish teenage sex comedy, is that it reserves all its creativity for ways to revolt and ostensibly delight its target audience. Highlights/low points: clubbing borderline road kill to death; super-kinky, super-icky sex; a geriatric flasher. The basic idea is familiar (one virgin, an online hookup, a road trip), as are the backdrops (the mall, suburbia); the central conceit (the hero wants sex but, gee whiz, Andy Hardy, what he really wants is love); the character dynamics (triangular); the repartee (dude); the hormonally charged desperation (tasteless sight-gag alert); and the cast composition (many young B- and C-listers). The probable inspirations include Fast Times at Ridgemont High, the American Pie movies, The Sure Thing, the documentary Devils Playground and every project Judd Apatow has ever breathed on. From the looks of the cherry GTO Judge that rumbles through the story, someone here has watched the Monte Hellman classic Two-Lane Blacktop. — Manohla Dargis, The New York I get it. NBC wants an exotic adventure series, something that can appeal to kids and adults. It's a worthy endeavor, though one difficult to pull off. There is certainly a place for old-fashioned entertainment in a network landscape increasingly cramped with high-concept modern fare, but you have to nail the execution. NBC did not. Crusoe (whose two-hour premiere airs tonight at 8pm) is based on the classic novel Robinson Crusoe, about a man stranded for decades on an island in the middle of nowhere. It isn't a deserted island, however, as pirates and cannibals are bound to show up and wreak havoc. Crusoe is an example of a network having a solid idea but not knowing what to do with it. Unless, that is, they want to appeal to 12-year-old boys and only 12-year-old boys This is a show I would have watched religiously while in middle school. In the two-hour Crusoe premiere, we are introduced to a host of crusty pirates (including a hot lady pirate), a reformed cannibal named Friday, nutty Spanish soldiers, and a wide array of crafty gadgets created by Robinson himself. These gadgets include a hamster wheel that traverses a canyon, a rope elevator, and a six-orange juice squeezer. The gadgets are cool, but I would have thought they were much cooler before hitting puberty Crusoe would work if it only embraced its own cheesiness. Unfortunately, the show gets side-tracked by unnecessary dramatic scenes, especially the flashbacks. There a lot of deaths in the first two hours of Crusoe, and they are played mostly for laughs, which is interesting because they are intercut with overly emotional flashback scenes. Crusoe fails to pick a tone and stay with it, and it makes the viewing experience jumbled and confusing If Crusoe were to get rid of the flashbacks, and embrace an old serial-type nature, NBC could be on to something. When you have your protagonist chased by pirates on a beautiful island, being helped by an ex-cannibal friend and the use of craftily constructed gadgets, the potential is there. Unfortunately, Crusoe often gets in the way of its own good time Sean Bean and Sam Neill both play important parts in Crusoe's flashbacks, as Robinson's father and friend of the family, respectively. For two esteemed actors, they are given little to do, and I'm surprised they're involved at all. The flashbacks are by far the least interesting part of the show, and I can't imagine they'll be able to change this in coming episodes. After pirate chases on a beach, who wants to return to proper English family issues? No one. Maybe Neill and Bean will have meatier roles as we get further in the season, but even then it won't be the highlight of the show Philip Winchester is solid as the titular Crusoe - charismatic and dashing. It's a fun role to play, I'm sure, and Winchester projects that into his acting. In the end, Crusoe is a silly show. It wants to be a shamelessly giddy adventure series for young boys, and it should be. However, the drama is unearned and unwanted, yet constant. As it stands now, Crusoe has its charms, but is ultimately unsatisfying (unless you're a 12-year-old boy)Jurors confronted with that question at the pop star's trial for driving without a license spent about two hours deliberating Friday. The panelists are expected to return Monday to resume their discussions If convicted of a misdemeanor, Spears, 26, faces a maximum sentence of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. The charge stems from an accident last year in which the performer struck a parked car The trial, which Spears chose not to attend, turns on whether jurors believe her legal "domicile" -- defined in the vehicle code as the place she "has manifested the intention of returning to after an absence" -- is the Golden State or the Bayou State
