Critic Reviews

Jeannette Catsoulis

A novel teenage comedy with an astute understanding of adolescent sexual confusion and the nebulous nature of desire, Zerophilia suggests an elastic view of gender that's alternately gleeful and terrifying. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Oddest-of-the-year romantic comedy. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Anyone who understands the meaning of the title or catches all the frog references scattered through writer-director Martin Curland's feature debut will have a head start understanding this confused and confusing comedy. Read full review

Noel Murray

All the nudity in Zerophilia is either prosthetic or body-doubled. Which means the sex scenes--and the feeling and meaning behind them--are just as phony. Read full review

J.R. Jones

The gender-bending comedy of Billy Wilder and Blake Edwards gets a teenpic makeover in this 2005 debut feature by Martin Curland. Read full review

Tim Grierson

A case of provocative issues at the mercy of unskilled execution, Zerophilia is a psychological-horror comedy that pokes its toe into dangerous sexual waters but then scurries away. Read full review

Michael Phillips

A half-silly, half-earnest indie with the soul of a John Hughes-era sex comedy. Read full review

Not only a very funny movie this picture faces sexual identity and gender issues to the extreme. Somewhat predictiable in parts I still give this movie the highest rating just on challenging the issues I mentioned earlier in such a positive fictional way..

This movie was one of the best I've seen for years.
Not only it lets you think about gender discrimination it also was really funny.
It has lots of plot twists. I saw the movie once in German and once in English. The German voice-acting was bad. But the English voices fit perfectly. TheThis movie was one of the best I've seen for years.

All in all It's a good film!… Expand

As the movie plods along, you get the feeling that the movie is as confused as the characters understandably are, but then suddenly all the commotion reveals itself to be the setup for the perfect conclusion. You feel and understand the conflict, and even as confused as everything is, it As the movie plods along, you get the feeling that the movie is as confused as the characters understandably are, but then suddenly all the commotion reveals itself to be the setup for the perfect conclusion. You feel and understand the conflict, and even as confused as everything is, it all ends up just the way it ought to. The acting is the best there is for teenage actors. The movie isn't "funny" so much as amusing and lighthearted. It's a drama, and a good one.… Expand
