The first half is unfunny and desperately crass, the second is unfunny and genuine -- at least, as much as possible for a film that climaxes with a guy wearing a donut costume

Reviews for Sex Drive
Penis gags, poo and bum-driven gags, masturbation embarrassments and the consistent use of crude expletives are not nearly as hilarious when over-used as the filmmakers seem to think

Oh grow up Hollywood!
10/17/08
It's the latest in a long string of teen sex comedies where the audience just might find themselves rooting for the STDs.
10/16/08
Kids will need some pretty serious beer goggles to get over the flaws of Sex Drive.
10/17/08
Pop a blue pill if you see it. In this case, a few funny moments don't make for an especially funny movie.
10/19/08
Too many of the gags aren't funny, the tone is depressingly sexist, and the characters won't make sense - even to teenagers.
01/09/09
While it elicits a few laughs, Sex Drive has little to ignite either the comic road-trip genre or the teen-sex romp.
10/17/08
It is rude, crude, lewd and %u2013 worst of all for a comedy %u2013 not very funny.
10/17/08
...one of the least impressive comedies to come around in quite some time.
10/16/08
Not revolting enough to be a bad film, but not witty enough to be a good film.
10/19/08
Just slightly funnier than you'd expect, this dashed-off teen comedy cribs from a thousand other movies, without coming up with anything original of its own.
10/17/08
It's not even that Sex Drive is a terrible film--it's just a completely disposable one.
10/24/08
A thoroughly clichéd virginity-deadline teen comedy with none of American Pie's trangsressiveness (it's hard, these days) and little of Superbad's intelligence.
10/17/08
Isn't really a good movie, but compared to the usual line of junk in this genre, it's comparatively tolerable--except for that awful trailer scene, that is.
10/16/08
A combination road movie and teen sex comedy that is totally predictable fare.
10/17/08
[I]have put more original thought into this review than the film's writers put into their any part of their movie.
10/17/08
Leans a little too heavily on the dumb, lowbrow stuff. And by the time it tries to redeem itself and its characters, it's nearly too late.
10/17/08
Sex Drive starts off well, but quickly deteriorates into a compilation of rehashed jokes that go for the lowest common denominator every time.
11/14/08
a road trip with too many stops for fast food.
