Good movie but grossly overrated
... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreUnshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreAwful. 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.
... View MoreI suppose that my summary says it all I had medium expectations for this film. I liked the concept but was worried that it would be played for the wrong laughs and bathroom humor. Instead I, and you will be as well, was rewarded with a sensitive and witty look at how we deal with our own identities.Luke has to work through the age old question of "who he is" though he is working in some unfamiliar territory.Pay attention to the dance of characters and you will not be too startled in the end. Though the premise is far fetched the director has managed to pull it off delicately and satisfactorily.I loved all the leads, but found the character named Jeanine to be the wisest of the bunch.
... View MoreI saw ZEROPHILIA on Showtime last night; and, I found it to be is a very unusual and unique comedy, to say the least.First off, the cast is wonderful and each character is likable. That's only because the acting was so exceptional. Taylor Handley as Luke; and, Marieh Delfino as Luka really pulled this one off. They look enough alike; but, it's the attitude, mannerisms and gestures that really work. Also, Rebecca Mozo as Michelle and Kyle Schmid as Max are excellent foils to our hero/heroine. In addition, I was absolutely thrilled to see Gina Bellmen (of Coupling fame) in her role as Dr. Sydney – WOW, what a performance! ZEROPHILIA is easy-going and non-judgmentally in its presentation of gender roles – I mean just look at the title sequence, "Microangelo Entertainment" and "Scambled Egg Productions" – these guys aren't taking themselves too seriously.
... View MoreGreat concept, good performances Very original. I saw the film at the Deep Ellum Film Festival in Dallas 21- Nov 2005. Great movie, Funny and a little deep. The film underlies a message of finding your true self. If you have a chance, see it. This film is funny, entertaining and bizarre. Enjoy a look inside a young man finding himself in a way you will not believe. Martin Curland has a feature he should be very proud to show. I hope it is picked up for distribution. Try to find Kelly LeBrock in the opening sequence. Don't hate her because she's beautiful. In this rare coming-of-age comedy that combines elements of magical realism with edgy humor
