KineticSeoul I get Asian humor but this didn't really do it for me. With characters just acting over the top during certain situations in order to try to be funny. It's basically a Korean version of "American Pie" or that is what it tries to be. But the humor in this is a bit more messed up sometimes. The movie doesn't have much of a plot just bunch of horny and overly perverted college students doing perverted things on campus. While one of the guy in the bunch that is a complete dork but has somewhat of a good heart falls for a popular girl in school played by Ha Ji-Won when her stardom basically began. And the girl falls for a popular tool and a prick. The problem with this movie is that it seemed more serious at times because of the direction and subject matter. Also adding to what few of the characters go through makes it a bit nerve wracking. Also the build up of the relationship between the two protagonists seem way to far from being believable and seemed a bit forced at times. If this movie went in a very abnormal direction intentionally the premise and characters might have worked probably but that isn't really the case. Sometimes few comedic moments and serious tone goes well but the direction that isn't the case, except maybe the last 10 minutes. Also besides few crude humor, when it comes to the main plot it's very predictable. If your expecting a very comedic teen comedy you might be disappointed. I give this movie a 4.3/10 overall with few points added because of Jin Jae-Young is in this and she is hot and her scenes stand out for a reason. Although her character doesn't add to the plot much. But she is hot in this and I should probably slap myself for that reason. Well movies like this is about sex appeal.4.3/10
ricta11 At the first couple of minutes do you think it's just another teeny movie. Altought the plot based not in a high school/college. There is a kinda sympathetic goofy headliner Eunshik. Who has a lot of bad luck. He falling in love with the popularity beauteousness, but the rich lady lover get her love.OK, so far nothing special about it. There are hundreds of movie like this on the market,but...One day is she pregnant and all what the rich guy does is to break up the relationship. Eunshik, help her to get the abortion done (It wasn't easy for her).He help her to recover from it.At the end does he get her love.Now to the message. Many people forget the power of a movie.They can make you fear, they can make you cry, they can make you laugh etc. Some change even the life or the mind of people.Think about some teenager who watch that Movie in Korea. They see how much fun the actors have, funny things happen, drinking, talking/making sex.A beautiful girl falling in love with a rich handsome(well, not really handsome) guy. But then, BOOM... the bubble of a easy movie-life and a surreal world explode. The girl is pregnant and wan't a abortion.The rich guy doesn't care about it and go back to his old girlfriend. She is all alone only Eunshik help and cares about her. A the end get he the love of that girl.The message is, you don't show true love with simple sex. There are more important thing's which counts. I like the fact that Eunshik never had sex with her. In many movies is it like some sort happy end. They get just engaged without having it before.
cuckoodu The movie is so hilarious that I appreciate so much the scriptwriter's superb skill of making funny.And the value of this movie doesn't only exist in funny aspect,but also appropriately display the love life and sex need of Asian younger.Some people do not understand the abortion scene,feeling wield and unacceptable.I have to say different cultural backgrounds create the discrepancies between opinions with regard to what if an unmarried girl gets conceiving when the boy claims clearly he doesn't want to take a responsibility of taking care the mother and unborn baby.As we can see,the way that girl dealt with her unborn baby represents most Asian girls'attitude,without choices,they have to do so. The mother 'furious reaction is,although inhuman, because her daughter's unconsciousness which really hurt the heart of a mother.I do not mind I'm Chang-Jeong's exaggerated act.He portrays perfectly.
goldyujo I watch countless movies every year and every year there is one movie that really stands out from the rest. Sex is Zero is that one movie as it pushes Korean cinema far above anything that Hollywood or anyone has ever produced. Comparisons to American Pie are ridiculous as AP simply cannot hold a candle to 'Sex' in terms of laughs or entertainment. In fact, the only movie I have ever seen that surpasses 'Sex' would have to be the other korean classic, Dream of a Warrior."Destinyyyyy...you're my Destinyyy!!!!"It doesnt get much better then that.The actors in this film are once again top notch, making such stereotypical characters quite believeable and realistic. For example the main character does such a great job that many viewers find his stupidity to be quite irritable. Each and every character leaves a lasting impression as they are all unique in their own way. The women are hardly being degraded in this movie as the male characters are all pathetic in their own ways as well. Sure there is some skin being shown...but whats a sex comedy going to do without any sex?The whole abortion part of the movie is very trademark of Korean cinema and is done quite tastefully. Here, the actors are given an entirely different mood to portray and they all pull it off wonderfully. Unexpecting viewers may take it too seriously and wont see the comedic aspect of some of the situations (like when the mom is beating up the daughter).All in all, if you wish to watch a movie that could quite possibly change your life then dont pass this one up. Sure, its not as good as Dream of a Warrior, but what is?
