    Another teen comedy that wasn't all that funny, or original. The characters were over-animated and spin-offs from other films.

    The only redeeming factor for this movie is the donut suit. I'll admit, that was a little funny. But overall, this movie is a royal waste of time.

    H...( read more)owever, bumped the rating up half a star for the R-rated DVD version that has random fully nude females randomly placed throughout the film. Not too bad, but I still can't recommend the film to anyone over 18 years old.

    A gut-bustingly hilarious comedy that has you falling out of your seat laughing. It's American Pie meets Superbad. Loaded with crazy off the road antics and jokes that make you scream. A splendid and wonderful cast that add heart to this film. Amanda Crew, Josh Zuckerman and Clar...( read more)k Duke are wonderful togehter brining on very funny and compelling chemistry. Seth Green is hysterical. James Marsden is flat-out brilliant, stealing the show with outragiously funny performance. A wild and incrediabley fun comedy ride that you will love from the start to finish.

    Bluh. Yet another movie that was specifically made for obnoxius high schoolers.

    "You don't know my brother, okay? He's gonna fuck my ass with a roll of quarters!
    - What? He's gonna what? With what?"

    I'm not a huge fan of these type of movies, I'll admit I've had my share of 'em but after watching 'Sex Drive', I have to say that this is one of the better US ...( read more)teen sex comedies I've seen. Pretty much puts the 'American Pie' series to shame. 'Road Trip' from 2000 stands along with this one as the best of 'em all. 'Sex Drive' just puts on an extra gear..

    The story isn't the real deal here. Just another late teen who still hasn't got a taste of the sweet stuff. So he has found a hot chick via the World Wide Web, or what's it called, and is off to get it on!

    What I really liked about the film was Seth Green as the sarcastic amish guy. He totally steals the show and delivers the best laughs. I'm not that familiar with his filmography, only remember him from the 'Austin Powers' series but if he truly is this funny in his other films, I just might check 'em out.

    Another nice surprise was James Marsden as the older brother to the lead character. I actually didn't recognize him at all at first. He gives a different performance then what I'm used to. Cyclops from 'X-Men', the prince from 'Enchanted'. Now this. A bit on overdrive but still manages to be funny.

    The rest of the cast works well also. Clark Duke might be the next Jonah Hill if he does the right career choices, we'll see. But you have to be warned. 'Sex Drive' will probably give tons of laughs at the first viewing but will it stand for another one? Probably not but, as said, will give you a nice 2 hour of simple entertainment.

    What can i say about Sex Drive, it was easy to lose track of this movie at times, mainly because so many things happened that branched off from the story abit. Still i wasnt expecting this movie to be as good as it was. I expected a complete idiotic mess (like most teen movies). ...( read more)It was good not as funny as i thought it was going to be but satisfying.

    One of the better teen sex flicks to come out in the last 10 years. Has the nudity SUPERBAD lacked.
  • October 25, 2009
    This movie was surprisingly hilarious despite being another "teen comedy." It's definitely worth a watch if you liked Superbad.

    Seth Green's role is particularly amazing.

    Pretty good movie. Laughed in it a lot.

Critic Reviews


January 9, 2009
Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times

Neither film wins a prize for visual style. Each deserves one for clever gags and zanily zig-zagging dialogue. full review

October 17, 2008
Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com

Just about as raunchy as a comedy like this can possibly get. It's 'American Pie' with the brakes off . full review

October 17, 2008
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

The comedy is uniformly crude and lewd, some of it works and some of it's lame. full review

October 17, 2008
Claudia Puig, USA Today

While it elicits a few laughs, Sex Drive has little to ignite either the comic road-trip genre or the teen-sex romp. full review

October 17, 2008
Kyle Smith, New York Post

The title Sex Drive is a pun about a road trip in search of nooky, but it's also an apt image of what it's like to be a teen guy. You're the car. The stick shift is driving you. full review

October 17, 2008
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

It brings a welcome intelligence and an ensemble of really cool, funny actors to the age-old subject manner. full review

October 17, 2008
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

The movie's a working definition of "safe sex." full review

October 16, 2008
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This movie doesn't contain 'offensive language'. The offensive language contains the movie. full review
