As adroitly executed a directorial debut as you could ever hope to find, this ingenious, sci-fi comedy revolves around a mythological malady which causes carriers to change gender whenever they make love.

Amid deliberately campy situations and sophomoric jokes, Zerophilia offers a disarmingly sweet lesson about learning to identify with the opposite gender.

Top Critic
The script's lazy convenience is embodied by a beautiful neuromorphologist (Gina Bellman) who arrives on the scene to explain everything that's going on.
11/01/06
Anyone who understands the meaning of the title or catches all the frog references scattered through writer-director Martin Curland's feature debut will have a head start understanding this confused and confusing comedy.
11/01/06
Top Critic A half-silly, half-earnest indie with the soul of a John Hughes-era sex comedy.
10/26/06
Even if you'd enjoy spending a day as the opposite sex, you're better off abstaining from Zerophilia and daydreaming about what you'd do with your time.
10/26/06
The admittedly thought-provoking results fail to make the full-blown transition from curious concept to substantial theatrical proposition.
10/17/06
Top Critic Sexual confusion made manifest in a romantic comedy gender-bender first try by newcomer Martin Curland and a host of young faces and bodies.
10/15/06
There's plenty of material here for a dark comedy, but director Martin Curland isn't up to the job.
10/13/06
Audacious, slightly predictable, semi-disgusting, ultimately not-so-crazy.
10/13/06
Androgyny rules in Zerophilia, Martin Curland's audacious feature about a fictional chromosomal abnormality that wreaks havoc with one's genitals.
10/12/06
Top Critic Offers a few salient notions about the nature of human sexuality, but matters are ultimately stretched further than a sumo wrestler's bra strap.
10/12/06
With clunky dialogue, jokes that fall flat and an uneven sense of rhythm and timing, the movie looks and feels too amateurish to take on this kind of material.
10/12/06
Originality notwithstanding, the pic is too slight for the big screen.
10/10/06
Zerophiliacs do not exist, but the conviction and daring of this feature-film debut by Martin Curland inspires belief in the impossible.
