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

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Sex Drive's first 30 minutes may lead one to suspect there's nothing new to be seen here, but it undergoes a transformation once the preliminaries have been dispensed with. John Hughes would be pleased - and so also might Judd Apatow.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

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

San Francisco Chronicle | Reyhan HarmanciAdd Critic to Favorites

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