I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I really enjoyed this movie, especially after being drenched in repetitive Hollywood humour that after a while is just nauseating. Some people may complain about the drama twists, but I thought that was the best part of it, I for one am sick of sterile happy endings, I have seen so many, my brain is almost washed with the idea of everything ending just right after every adventure.The humour in it is very original, very diverse and it made me laugh harder than anything I watched before. It's just a breath of fresh air and it was great. At times it may be a little exaggerated, but I don't remember a single moment where it passed the border of reality and plausibility. Plus there are many small moments that you might miss on a first seeing that you will only pick up the second time round and that alone warrants more than one viewing.The story isn't very complicated, although it's not blend either. It's just right with the theme of the movie, and that is about the mistakes one can make at youth but it goes beyond that, it also shows the strength of fixing the mess you made and the importance of giving a damn about someone.Putting it all together, I think it was very enjoyable and I strongly recommend it to anyone, just don't think you're going to watch a comedy, think you're going to watch a movie. You'll be surprised at the end of it.

Some movies occasionally try to mix serious drama with absurd humor. Most doesn't succeed at all. SEX IS ZERO does succeed, though! Slapstick jokes, some very funny, some very stupid and some lost in translation are mixed with extremely serious drama towards the end, and then goes slowly into the comedy genre again - with great results.Very nicely done movie that are probably most inspired by movies like BRING IT ON and American PIE. However, this is a Korean movie, and that means it's weirder, better acted, slightly more surprising and original.Be prepared for serious drama mixed with high-school humor, though. And be prepared for lots of cute girls! :) 7 of 10.

This movie is just plain hilarious....it is like american pie but much better. Like NetFlix said, the abortion thing at the end was really weird and tacked on, but if you used to asian movies, ya you see it alot. The movie is only an hour and a half long though, so its pretty short but great! The jokes in the movie are the best part, and they will make you laugh, and they are much more orginal then the jokes made in american pie... like i said before the abortion thing was the only bad part If your looking for a great forgien comedy deffenatly check this one out, you will not be dissapointed

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?
