Awful. Somehow this got onto my list of gay-themed movies (I'm gay), so that's why I watched it. Let me say this right away - this is NOT a gay movie. Not even close. A few of the guys are moderately cute, but the situations are not erotic, so that doesn't amount to much. The idea for the story has some potential, it could have been interesting, but the way it's developed is so labored and boring that any potential is totally lost. The characters are all total hetero Neanderthals, both male and female. So it's a boring straight film, told in a boring manner. No humor, no intelligence, no imagination. I had to force myself to watch the last half, just so I could write this review and feel confident I was not selling it short. There wasn't a single moment in the entire film when I thought "Wow, that's clever." Instead, watching scene after scene, I was groaning in pain and disappointment. An idea with potential was totally squandered. Everything is after-school-special level insight and execution. Trust me, it's boring. And NOT gay.

This movie is bad. Not annoying bad because I watched it till the end.Just bad.The main idea is curious - enough for a short story - but nothing more. On top of that, the plot lacks consistency - how is it that you get so many zero-lovers (?) in the same district of some far-away American village. But perhaps it is not supposed to be consistent. The acting is OK, although it is very amateurish at times. It is a bit weird how Hollywood or its offspring produces the clones of famous actors. Is it to make a low budget movie more attractive?And it's not funny. Didn't quite understand why it gets the credit for being a comedy here and even a good one! So if you are out to get a comedy that actually makes you laugh, go look for something else.

This film is an affirmative coming of age film for a teenage man with a condition that makes him change sex when he has sex.The plot is very original and innovative. I have never thought about anything remotely like that before! On the surface, it is a film about an imaginary genetic condition called zerophilia. It explores self discovery and self acceptance. Luke finds out that he in fact like guys, tries to change this but fails. Then he accepted himself as who he is, and starts a relationship with Max. This very much mirrors the sexual discovery of adolescents.This film brings a positive message about self acceptance, as highlighted in the symbolic scene of Luke given a light blue top for ladies. It's OK whoever you choose to be.The positive message is portrayed in an entertaining way. I hope this message can reach a wider audience!

I was walking down the street when I... anyways I met the director and got tickets to see the world premiere of it at Rebel Fest in Toronto. It should have been in the TIFF, but it didn't meet the deadline.The movie is "so creative" as my friend put it and I haven't seen anything like that for a long time. Both of us are taking film courses in college.The premise is the main character has a disease that changes his gender in minutes when he gets turned on. My only complaint is that it's hd quality and not widescreen.I think most people would enjoy this film's quirky subject, and comedic dialogues. Unlike most films, Zerophila isn't predictable and not conservative. Also there's also some sort of frog motif going on in there.
