Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Okay, it doesn't have an original bone in its body, but forgetting the awful title, Sex Drive has its share of snappy lines and decent gags. It's also got Seth Green and James Marsden on cracking form, which should never be underestimated.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 9, 2009

It's crushingly generic stuff - a combination of gross-out gags and clammy sentiment - but Seth Green's cameo as a sardonic Amish car mechanic has its moments.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 9, 2009

Duke has good scenes as Lance, but this is a rental, rather than a go-see.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 9, 2009

Neither film wins a prize for visual style. Each deserves one for clever gags and zanily zig-zagging dialogue.

| Jan 9, 2009

It is played with gusto and each of the characters avoids stereotype. It is also genuinely funny at least half of the time. The other half is a bit prurient in a style with which we are all too familiar now.

In its best moments, [suggests] a live-action rendering of the Jerry Scott/Jim Borgman comic Zits.

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 17, 2008

Above all, Marsden and Green are a genuine delight.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 17, 2008

The comedy is uniformly crude and lewd, some of it works and some of it's lame.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 17, 2008

There 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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 17, 2008

A film destined for an undistinguished second life as a pay-cable plugger for decades to come, Sex Drive benefits from the low standards of the teen sex-comedy genre.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 17, 2008

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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 17, 2008

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

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 17, 2008

The 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.

Just 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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 17, 2008

Formulaic doesn't necessarily mean lifeless, and Sean Anders, who directs (and co-wrote the script), hits a number of bits just right.

| Oct 17, 2008

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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 17, 2008

Once 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.
