Some jokes work, some don't and, frankly, I can't remember either, but it leaves a sweet aftertaste. Slight, but sweet.

Reviews for Sex Drive
Top CriticThe comedy is uniformly crude and lewd, some of it works and some of it's lame.
10/17/08
Top CriticThere should be some kind of law that if you're going to make an incredibly derivative, violent and vulgar teen comedy then it must also be funny.
10/17/08
Top CriticSex Drive may slather on the gross-out humor, but underneath it has a heart.
10/17/08
Top CriticWhile 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
Top CriticThe 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.
10/17/08
Top CriticJust 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
Top CriticIt brings a welcome intelligence and an ensemble of really cool, funny actors to the age-old subject manner.
10/17/08
Top CriticFormulaic doesn't necessarily mean lifeless, and Sean Anders, who directs (and co-wrote the script), hits a number of bits just right.
10/17/08
Top CriticOccasionally sharp but never quite as smartly formed as it could be, this Sex Drive is only partly worth the trip.
10/17/08
Top CriticOnce you strip Sex Drive of its naughty bits, all the sex, swearing and loud, loud music, the film is as dull and safe as a 1960 high-school guidance counsellor's pamphlet on dating.
10/17/08
Top CriticThe bar for teen-sex comedies has never been very high, but this one clears it and then some.
10/17/08
Top CriticSean Anders' derivative gross-out movie Sex Drive is easier to take if you accept that the answer to every baffling plot question is "because it's a teen sex comedy."
10/17/08
Top CriticThe movie's a working definition of "safe sex."
10/17/08
Top CriticThe most notable thing about Sex Drive is that it reserves all its creativity for ways to revolt and ostensibly delight its target audience.
10/17/08
Top CriticNot a terribly original movie, but it is often a very funny one.
10/16/08
Top CriticThis movie doesn't contain 'offensive language'. The offensive language contains the movie.
10/16/08
Top CriticIf Judd Apatow revived the raunchy sex comedy with such films as Superbad and Knocked Up, Sean Anders happily advances the genre with Sex Drive.
10/16/08
Top CriticSex Drive's first 30 minutes may lead one to suspect there's nothing new to be seen here, but it undergoes a transformation once the preliminaries have been dispensed with. John Hughes would be pleased -- and so also might Judd Apatow.
10/15/08
Top CriticSex Drive twits its own lost innocence with a knowing backward glance (the winsome leads deserve a more humane movie), and Seth Green is uproarious as an Amish farmer who speaks in sentences so passive-aggressive, they're like tiny slaps.
