Zerophilia

I loved this movie. You should definitely see this whether you're a male or female. It conquers both gender barriers.

The beginning as well as the end is intelligent. The storyline is precise with the meaning of the word that we all wonder about. However, the word isn't correctly used. Rather, there should be a noun defining the exact meaning should be, instead of an adjective. All in all, I believe this movie had great acting. And when I mean great acting, I think of the A & B list of actors (which has a lot to say!) I read a previous comment summarizing "I wish this film can circulate through the public, it deserves the best!" I completely agree with this idea. This film should have been in the mainstream. Why wasn't it?

I 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.

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 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.

I was a little skeptical to watch this movie when I first heard about it. I couldn't tell if it was a comedy or a drama. Yet, within the first five minutes of the film, I was really too impressed with Taylor Handley natural acting skills and lovable portrayal of "Luke," to really care.

"Zerophilia" ended up being funny and dramatic at the same time. The whole idea of switching genders through a genetic condition somehow worked in the story's overall message of acceptance-no matter who you are.

I think I'll watch it again, if not just to see the reaction of everyone in the theater in the shocking scene with Luke (wow).
