"Sexy Boys" is France's equivalent to the teen comedy smash hit "American Pie" about three French boys who search for sex and/or love. There's even a scene closely modeled after the (in)famous Pie-scene, this time using spaghetti. Not really imaginative.
That goes for the whole film. Nothing you haven't seen before, nothing you haven't laughed about before. That said, the cast is lovable, some of the scenes still manage to have a fresh comic timing - but those scenes are sparse.
The worst thing is the gross out. Once, one of the drunk boys pukes on the desk of the guy he's having the job interview with. In the spaghetti scene, the food has a "special flavor" afterwards. And so on. It's not all that funny. The more subtle humor works way better.
The strangest thing (and that's rather close to "American Pie" actually) is that after all the sex talk and gross out, the film wants to be moral and comes across as conservative and uptight. Overall, it's mildly entertaining, but not as bad as it could have been. Therefore, I'd rate it
5/10
