- 70The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA novel teenage comedy with an astute understanding of adolescent sexual confusion and the nebulous nature of desire, Zerophilia suggests an elastic view of gender that's alternately gleeful and terrifying.
- 63New York Daily NewsJack MathewsNew York Daily NewsJack MathewsOddest-of-the-year romantic comedy.
- 50VarietyVarietyPlays like a throwback to such transformative adolescent anxiety romps as "Teen Wolf" and "Just One of the Guys," this time aiming at a slightly less innocent crowd.
- 42The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurrayAll the nudity in Zerophilia is either prosthetic or body-doubled. Which means the sex scenes--and the feeling and meaning behind them--are just as phony.
- 40Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThe gender-bending comedy of Billy Wilder and Blake Edwards gets a teenpic makeover in this 2005 debut feature by Martin Curland.
- 30Village VoiceVillage VoiceA case of provocative issues at the mercy of unskilled execution, Zerophilia is a psychological-horror comedy that pokes its toe into dangerous sexual waters but then scurries away.
- 25New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoThere's plenty of material here for a dark comedy, but director Martin Curland isn't up to the job. His film - like Luke - plods along, unsure of exactly what it's supposed to be.
- 25Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsA half-silly, half-earnest indie with the soul of a John Hughes-era sex comedy.
