- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliSex 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.
- 67Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanSeth Green is uproarious as an Amish farmer who speaks in sentences so passive-aggressive, they're like tiny slaps.
- 63Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaA testosterone-fueled road movie that displays the same Apatow-ian obsessions, and raunch, as "Pineapple Express," "Superbad," and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."
- 60Village VoiceVillage VoiceRemains faithful to a portrait of teens as they see themselves.
- 58The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinSex Drive offers a limp variation on a hoary old teen-film trope.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis movie doesn't contain "offensive language." The offensive language contains the movie.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenLess sex comedy and more Seth comedy would have made for a much livelier excursion.

- 40Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovIt's not "Sixteen Candles," but it's not "Road Trip," either. Instead, this comedic car-trip riff on the teen-male libido and the lengths to which it will go to satisfy itself falls somewhere in between part endearing emo love story, part gross-out semen gag-fest, and, very occasionally, a smart, inspired, non-sequitur-laden hoot.
- Sean Anders' derivative gross-out movie Sex Drive is easier to take if you accept that the answer to every baffling plot question is "because it’s a teen sex comedy."
