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.

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

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.

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 :-)

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a fabulously funny film with an utterly lovable cast. Haley Joel Osment’s performance as a virginal sex ed teacher is consistent, super likable, and responsible for some of the moments in the film that made me laugh the most. The sexual subject matter of the film is well-handled and positive, and really focuses on some wise points, such as the idea of creating conversations about sex amongst youth to promote education, as well as speaking against the stigma of virginity in men. Any comedy that can address such imperative topics while also making me laugh out loud is commendable in my book.

Great cast, a rare comedy that is also able to address serious issues, and all from an indie film. Can't say enough of the performances by Haley Joel Osment, Glen Powell, Abby Elliott, and others, or how good and funny all the kids are. And the music's fabulous. Seen it twice and definitely think if you're up for a raunchy yet caring comedy you should check this out. Great work from director Isaac Feder.

This was a great movie with a great cast to match! Haley Joel Osment was really successful in the role of the sex ed teacher and it was great to see him teach sex ed in such an upfront and informed manner. You don’t normally see sex addressed so openly and with such regard for both genders in comedies but this one did so without sacrificing laughs or story!

School of **** "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.
