A lot of the jokes and situations are crude, as you’d probably expect from this kind of movie, but the film works as a bit of a guilty pleasure because the three central performances are so good.

Reviews for Sex Drive
...it is all very predictable without the heart that the American Pie crew offered...

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

Sex Drive feels like a date with a prostitute: if you pay your money, you get what you expect, but there's nothing fun or new about the experience, and ultimately you feel more a lot more sleazy than satisfied.
11/07/08
It's not even that Sex Drive is a terrible film--it's just a completely disposable one.
10/24/08
Underneath the raunchy humor (and obvious cribbing from Rob Reiner's The Sure Thing) there's a sweetness to Ian's friendship with Felicia.
10/24/08
Director Sean Anders returns raunchy teen comedy to the no-expectations pre-Apatow era.

Move over, Judd Apatow. There's a new comedy sheriff in town.
10/23/08
In its best moments, [suggests] a live-action rendering of the Jerry Scott/Jim Borgman comic Zits.
10/22/08
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
Not revolting enough to be a bad film, but not witty enough to be a good film.
10/19/08
Hollywood has come under first for its PG-13ification of various genres. Films like Sex Drive remind us of how funny a film can be when it goes the distance.
10/18/08
It's not "The Sure Thing" -- it's not even "Never Been Thawed" -- but it's probably about as well made as a movie called "Sex Drive" has any right to be.
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
Just about as raunchy as a comedy like this can possibly get. It's 'American Pie' with the brakes off .

he first half-hour of this movie is super-worse, with only some sub-American Pie gags fleshing out the lame-brain plot, but once it gets on the road, there's pleasure to be had.
10/17/08
Some jokes work, some don't and, frankly, I can't remember either, but it leaves a sweet aftertaste. Slight, but sweet.
10/17/08
Above all, Marsden and Green are a genuine delight.
