Sex Ed is a likable little comedy that features such a well-conceived and portrayed main character it makes up for the film's slender concept and leaps in logic. Read full review

Mildly funny and about 15 minutes too long, Sex Ed has a funny cast, particularly a kid played by Isaac White, who gets some hilariously rude dialogue. Read full review

The shock of seeing kids talking dirty dries up quick, but the message is one of positivity and communication. Read full review

While Isaac Feder's raunchy comedy gives the "Sixth Sense" star the opportunity to roll a condom over a banana and talk really dirty, it offers precious little to even the most undemanding audiences. Read full review

Unevenly directed by Isaac Feder, Sex Ed droops. Read full review

Sex Ed takes a lot of glee in subjecting its timid hero to a rancid sewer of sexual excess early on, but the film’s apparently strong belief that it deserves to be taken seriously—despite its title, premise, and utter worthlessness—both as a comedy and as social advocacy might just be the most offensive thing about it.

Great movie, enjoyable throughout! The entire cast is lovable, especially Haley Joel Osment and Retta, I could hear her words of wisdom all day. Loved the themes in the movie as well, definitely a fresh take on the idea of sexual education. Overall really enjoyable, definitely worth a watch.

Terrific movie with a fun, all-star cast. Tons of funny moments but keeps its center of gravity around Haley Osment's character. Fantastic feature debut by director Isaac Feder.

Haley is funny and self deprecating! Fun and fresh cast with a sweet story with a message! Ray Santiago is a scene stealer. Glen Powell has great comedic charm. Your will def laugh out loud :-)

Haley Joel Osment plays a twentysomething unable to find any job besides teaching in an after-school program in a Tampa area middle school.

Eddie (Osment), while tryingHaley Joel Osment plays a twentysomething unable to find any job besides teaching in an after-school program in a Tampa area middle school. After realizing how poorly educated these kids are about sex, he decides to teach them himself—even though he’s a virgin. Eddie (Osment), while trying to educate his class, land his dream girl and get his life on track. As he confronts the shortcomings in the school system’s sex ed curriculum, he’s forced to confront the shortcomings in his own life, pushing this comedy past the usual boundaries of the genre.
It’s a raunchy, funny movie that shows women as people and middle school boys as hopelessly confused by the Internet, and addresses these issues through the voice of the main character, Eddie and Retta as the wise bartender he consults about his problems. The balance between sexual humor and actual issues makes this a movie worth watching that people will be sure to laugh though.… Expand

I really enjoyed this film. I haven't seen Haley Joel Osment since Sixth Sense, so seeing him as the main character in a comedy is very refreshing. Between him and Glen Powell's performance, I could not stop laughing, I would consider this comedy one of the best I have seen in a long time.I really enjoyed this film.

"It's like 'School of Rock' but about sex instead of music" I'm thinking that was the pitch for this one and it's almost accurate. Many of the raunchy comedy bits work on their own but combined with the earnest sincerity and general (but slightly odd) likability of theSchool of Cock

"It's like 'School of Rock' but about sex instead of music" I'm thinking that was the pitch for this one and it's almost accurate.

Many of the raunchy comedy bits work on their own but combined with the earnest sincerity and general (but slightly odd) likability of the star - the movie just never gels. The laughs are few and, despite the "slow clap" scene, we don't actually feel for anybody by the end.

The film drags overall - I'm not sure a different edit would help but it couldn't hurt.… Expand
