Plenty to read about regarding this film out in the Internet world. The trailers have been playing in the store for a month now and the buzz has been positive (since no one got to see this in theaters). Analyzing a high budget teen/sex comedy for acting is pointless, so I will stick with the BD quality and extras.

The video and audio look and sound fine, typically the outer channels get used with the LARGE volume of songs played throughout; and some nice GTO throttlings. The special features have roughly 30 minutes of docus reviewing production and self loathing/lampooning of the cast: Marsden Dilemma & Duke of the Internet clips.

The big question: differences between the UR and R. Plenty to list. 20 extra minutes of gratuitous male and female nudity, longer takes of certain scenes (the two confident geeks verbiage, pool party, condom buying fiasco, left-in flubs, changed phrases, sex sounds [sheep, bjs, etc.]), most noticeably - CGI-imposed nudity in 20 or so random scenes with a graphic intro by the director/writer about what to expect in the UR version.

Overall, a funny film with plenty of comedian cameos, decent writing, love searching, and sexual awakenings (even in the Amish country). A worthwhile purchase for fans of the film plus they kept it all one on disc (everything is the same as the 2 disc DVD).

Heed the director's advice and watch the R-rated theatrical version first. If you enjoy the R-rated cut, you can check out the unrated version. The unrated version is actually a joke, a jab at all those "unrated" comedies on DVD.

The movie itself is pretty funny, and the picture quality on this Blu-ray Disc is very good. Unfortunately, due to having two different versions of the film on one disc, there wasn't enough room to include HD audio.

Although I'm still officially a teenager, I've never really been into movies like "American Pie"; that type of humor just struck me as shallow, immature, and to put it blunty, plain stupid. I had never even heard of "Sex Drive" until the day I went to see it with a friend. After watching the preview online, I had rather low expectations. The further the film progressed however, the more I came to like it. The plot is ok, but it's definately the actors that make this movie; I fell in love with the characters! Especially the guy with the glasses. It's a shame this movie didn't do too well at the box office; it surely deserves more attention than it's gotten! You won't be dissapointed with this film!

I saw this in the theatre and didn't think that I would like it but it was pretty funny, way better than I expected. Typical story plot but with some off the wall humor.

Sex Drive is as bawdy and funny as teen sex comedies tend to usually get, which is a good thing. Josh Zuckerman stars as Ian, a virgin loser who decides to take a cross country trip to meet a girl he met online. Along for the ride are his two best friends (Clark Duke and Amanda Crew), and naturally, there's all sorts of chaos as the crew head to Knoxville, including running into hillbillys and other assorted weirdos. While its story is old and tried (a love triangle is suggested between the trio but nothing ever grows out of it, and instead veers off into predictable territory), Sex Drive manages to stay entertaining thanks to the game cast (including a perfectly cast Seth Green as a sarcastic Amishman, and James Marsden as Ian's hilarious, foul-mouthed brother) and genuinely funny developments. The climax of the film is a bit of a surprise, but worth the ride to get there. The Unrated version of the film intercuts tons more nudity and even blooper scenes into the film, and manages to overstay its welcome at over two hours, so this is one of the rare cases where the theatrical version is the better cut. Regardless, Sex Drive is a worthwhile trip if you enjoyed the American Pie flicks, Superbad, and the rest of the lot.

'Sex Drive' is a very familiar teen comedy that gets a boost from a likable cast and some hilarious moments. The story of the pressures of teen sex is nothing new, but some gratuitous nudity and a fun soundtrack help round out this simple, but pretty funny romp! It's a little too long for such nonsense, but it's better than the average dumb dumb movie this nature.

Ok, I had never heard of this movie before tonight when my friend decided to get it from the local Red-box. We went back to our friends appartmnet and popped it in. I wasnt really expecting anything out of it... let me stop right there and say man was I suprised.

I am a recent college graduate and 22 years old. I feel that is important because I think a lot of the humor is directed at our generation. With that said, I had to have been laughing at least 70% of the movie. Literally, I was laughing during 70% of the movie or more. This was one of the funnest movies I've seen in awhile. The fat friend might have been unbelieveable as the role he was playing, but that is part of the humor. Kids like him usually arent like the way he was. And seriously, how could people not find Seth Green hilarious? He was the funniest character in the whole movie, gratned I am a really big fan of sarcasium. I am sorry, but if you dont think this movie is funny, you just have a poor sense of humor if you are in the age range of 15-25. Outside that range I could see where some might not understand the humor at younger ages or get offended/put-off by some of the abbrasive, out there humor.

Ok, yes this movie has a predictable ending and maybe some of the jokes are predictable... so what? About 95% of movies I have watched in recent years I have been able to call the ending, pick up key speech, etc. before it happened in the movie. It is hard to trick an audience anymore, espeically when they are trying to figure out whats going to happen rather than just wait and watch.

This was a great surprise for me. I thought it would be terrible, but it was pretty hilarious. Seth Green was great in his role also. If you are looking of a light, filthy, fun 'American Pie type' movie then this is it..
The spoofy gratuitous and purposeful nakedness in the unrated version was great.

Rent this if you are looking for a light comedy with dirty hilarity.

Let me start off by saying that this movie is in fact original. Some people here have been bashing it for being un-original, but they are dead wrong! This movie deals with the awkwardness and frustration that everybody goes through during their teenage years, but unlike other movies it uses technology and terms that few, if any previous movie had done before. For example, there are hilarious references to Myspace, Msn Messenger, and text messaging that show us just how technology pretty much runs a teenager's life nowadays. My wife and I both saw it in the theatres, and both of us laughed our pants off the whole time. Her only complaint was that there was too much Nudity in the film. Don't listen to people like that guy that gave this movie a 2 star review. They are probably winey, stuck up little snobs that don't appreciate over-the top humor of films such as this one. They probably prefer trash like the pink panther movies that have Boring jokes and hidden innuendos instead of just giving it to you straight up!

Sex Drive continues on the path of the American Pie series. This film was hilarious from start to finish, but at the same time it leaves you with something to think about. The acting is terrific and the cast will throw you for a few loops. This is definitely one of the funnier films I've seen this year and well worth a viewing.
