All that matters is if it's funny -- and it is. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

Seth Green is uproarious as an Amish farmer who speaks in sentences so passive-aggressive, they're like tiny slaps. Read full review

Sam Sweet

Remains faithful to a portrait of teens as they see themselves. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

The sweetheart leads, Josh Zuckerman and Amanda Crew, are easy to spend time with, and Seth Green as an Amish hipster and Clark Duke as an unlikely lady-killer hit every sweet-and-sardonic note with panache. Read full review

Claudia Puig

Sex Drive does not fully satisfy our comic desires. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Since the new pic contains little that's genuinely amusing or minimally original, it likely will fail on its own merits. Read full review

Stephen Cole

One smart thing Green's character Ezekiel does is split from Sex Drive as soon as his two scenes are over. Read full review

One of my favorite road trip movies, with a simple premise that keeps it going and some really great memorable scenes. The humor is quite blue and it's not one to watch with your grandma, but if you're a fan of Apatow (minus maybe the depth of character) type stuff you'll enjoy it.

Hilarious. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Critics are cranky, unhappy, unfunny people. The only people who shouldn't be reviewing movies are movie critics themselves.

Just much better than critics suggested. Built to a crescendo after the first half hour. Worth a shot.

In Todd Phillips' "Road Trip", the filmmaker pays homage to his own bout with puberty when Amy Smart frees her boobs, just like how Phoebe Cates frees her boobs in Amy Heckerling's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". Everybody remembers what Cates wore, a two-piece red bikini, now: In Todd Phillips' "Road Trip", the filmmaker pays homage to his own bout with puberty when Amy Smart frees her boobs, just like how Phoebe Cates frees her boobs in Amy Heckerling's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". Everybody remembers what Cates wore, a two-piece red bikini, now: Think fast! What was Smart wearing before she pulled it over her head? That's why Phillips failed. Nobody remembers Smart's spaghetti strap. Memorable clothing, not just memorable boobs, is the reason why Cates' poolside scene has its own wing in the Perv-Hall-of-Fame. Linda Barrett was a bad girl. She showed Stacey Hamilton(Jennifer Jason-Leigh) how to fellate a carrot in the Ridgemont High cafeteria. Felicia(Amanda Crew) is a good girl. In "Sex Drive", she drives Ian(Josh Zuckerman) crazy by being in love with Lance(Clark Duke), just like another good girl, Maggie(Kerri Green), who chooses Cappie(Charlie Sheen) over Lucas(Corey Haim) in David Seltzer's "Lucas", the 1986 film that quietly informs this "American Pie" retread", redeemed and given transcendence by a sweet performance by Crew, whose Felicia is soft like Green's cheerleader, the high school girlfriend you always wished for(when you weren't busy wishing for boobs). After "Lucas", the auburn-haired beauty starred in Bill L. Norton's "Three for the Road", and wouldn't you just know it, our three heroes are three for the road. "Sex Drive" has two inspired bits: an ornery Amish man(Seth GREEN), and a donut costume. Read the donut, read Ian as a talking p****. In the short form music video for "That's Good"(directed by Gerald Casale), an animated French fry screws an animated donut hole. After the climactic scene in the parking lot, the donut costume becomes prosaic; Ian's masculine performance transforms his emasculating mall get-up, back into a mere donut costume. Now when he talks, it's his own voice, and not contracting vaginal muscles.… Expand

It wasn't a perfect movie. It was unbelievable, predictable, stupid and there were a few plot holes, but it was entertaining, the acting was good and it was fairly fun to watch.

Sex Drive, a pretty funny comedy movie, it's got a decent plot which is about this 18 year old lad called Ian (Josh Zuckerman) who decides to cross the country drive to meet this girl who's been chatting with him online.

Also, the movie's got quite a few hilarious moments throughout and a lot of them work quite well, while some of them don't work very well.

The only problems which I've got with this movie would have to be how certain scenes throughout are built up and how they end up being quite predictable.

Another problem I had with this movie would have to be when they've shot certain scenes for this movie. The reasons on why is because there's a certain scene where Ian is sitting with one of his friends in the back of a truck and you see where his friend is sitting and when it pans over to the next scene, only Ian is in the background sitting in the truck and his friend is missing.

Finally, the pacing for this movie isn't the best on building up for certain moments with the character's throughout this movie and it actually sort of ruins the characters.

Overall, it's not a bad comedy at all, it can be pretty funny throughout, it's just there's some unfunny moments and some not so good pacing to build up towards certain moments.… Expand
