There's too much talk and not enough action in the balance and eventually the straitjacket structure of the script is a schematic that grows tiresome.

The cast tries but rarely achieves an authenticity of emotional intimacy, as if everyone knows they're going to be cut away from -- how else to say it? -- prematurely.

Top CriticLike life, it's sweet, messy, awkward, and dull.

A more accurate moniker for this sex comedy might be Attractive White People Nattering On.
09/11/08
Actually a pretty staid affair, showing much less nudity than most R-rated films and coming down firmly, for the most part, in the pro-monogamy camp.
09/03/08
Neither as extreme nor, for that matter, as interesting as its troublesome title.
09/02/08
Top CriticIts willingness to tackle common, yet squirm-inducing sexual predicaments with blunt, sometimes hysterical wordplay will certainly command attention.

YPF caused a minor sensation at last year's Toronto Film Festival, but I guess the chance to see Canucks even partially disrobed is a selling point up there.
08/29/08
The jarring skips required for clockwork peeks into each sexual narrative turn all the participants into reductive character sketches, spouting pithy one-liners and sporting ready-to-wear emotions on their sleeves.
08/27/08
A smart and funny look at how people react under extreme sexual pressure.

It is, in short, a 'funny because it's true' comedy for adults, a potentially commercial film of the sort we should be making in this country. It has a sense of joy. No one in it ever contemplates suicide.

In truth, Canadian filmmaker Martin Gero's very funny and insightful feature debut is far less shocking than its detractors -- most of whom haven't even seen it -- would have you believe.
06/13/08
Like some of the erotic acts it purveys, Y.P.F. is pleasant rather than pleasurable.
04/11/08
Sorry, but intercourse is not the main course here. Instead, this is a literal sex comedy where laughs are sought, and often found, at every stage of the act, from 'foreplay' to 'afterglow'.
09/06/07
...a fast-paced and very funny look at contemporary relationships.
