This movie doesnt contain offensive language. The offensive language contains the movie.

Little has changed since the heyday of John Hughes: nerdy hero on a mission to get laid, red sports car, bespectacled BFF check, check, check.
Time Out
4.5
Formulaic doesnt necessarily mean lifeless, and Sean Anders, who directs (and co wrote the script), hits a number of bits just right.
3.0
Zuckerman gives Ian an endearing vulnerability, Crew is entirely believable as the standoffish Felicia and Duke is fun as unlikely chick magnet Lance.

Some jokes work, some dont and, frankly, I cant remember either, but it leaves a sweet aftertaste. Slight, but sweet.
San Francisco Chronicle

The pleasure lies in being surprised when the movie overcomes its own limits.

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

Likeable, frequently hilarious teen comedy thats like an updated version of The Sure Thing, crossed with Road Trip and American Pie.

Sex Drive may slather on the gross out humor, but underneath it has a heart.

Leans a little too heavily on the dumb, lowbrow stuff. And by the time it tries to redeem itself and its characters, its nearly too late.

If Judd Apatow revived the raunchy sex comedy with such films as Superbad and Knocked Up, Sean Anders happily advances the genre with Sex Drive.
Az Central
3.1
There should be some kind of law that if youre going to make an incredibly derivative, violent and vulgar teen comedy then it must also be funny.
Toronto Star
2.0
Duke has good scenes as Lance, but this is a rental, rather than a go see.
Guardian
2.0
Too many of the gags arent funny, the tone is depressingly sexist, and the characters wont make sense even to teenagers.
Daily Mail

Sure in essence its formula and pretty much just a romantic comedy, but is a sex fueled hilarious teen comedy/road flick...

Penis gags, poo and bum driven gags, masturbation embarrassments and the consistent use of crude expletives are not nearly as hilarious when over used ..

Raucous, thoughtful and romantic in nearly equal measure, Sex Drive is a teen comedy pulled off with unusual flair.
The Movie Boy

Think of it as American Pie for a post Apatow world: crude, yes, but with its heart exactly where it should be.

Occasionally sharp but never quite as smartly formed as it could be, this Sex Drive is only partly worth the trip.

Movie Freak
4.0
As raunchy as youd expect from an R rated teen sex comedy, but surprisingly clever and even sweet at times.

Likeable enough, and even amusing for stretches, but ultimately too generic for a recommendation.

The story dithers, albeit entertainingly, for such a long time...that you start fearing it will be a dry hump of a movie where hes concerned.

Sex Drive starts off well, but quickly deteriorates into a compilation of rehashed jokes that go for the lowest common denominator every time.

To use a 1980s sex comedy metaphor, Sex Drive is to Superbad what Hot Dog: The Movie was to Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

American Pie got Euro Trip drunk and this is how their unwanted child turned out. A stammering tool of a comedy.
