    This has great laughs with pure slapstick.

    The more I watch the South Korean cinema the more I want to know about it's people. As a Marine deployed there for training it wasn't easy to get to know the people. The expression the laughter and the pure feelings that these actors display is rare in modern American cinema. Even though this is over the top in fantasy it is as real as it gets in the realm of human relations. Thank you for just making me laugh ant not question all the alternative motives of the script. Most of Hollywood today has a political agenda in everything they produce and it results in the same humor for the last 5o years.

    Fair, but reverts to stereotypes

    While this has been out awhile, I recently saw it on Netflix. It is a different take on a typical "sex farce" but it veers way off into a lot of weirdness. And I can't help but wonder if the Netflix version wasn't edited, because there seem to be some important linking scenes and explanations that were missing. By the way, if you watch this on Netflix with English subtitles, many are spelled wrong or are formatted to cover up the lower third of the screen. Not great.

    Without giving away spoilers, missing details include the sudden development of a war (with whom?), the existence of a female bear that is supposedly the village's "god", and a royal group that is somehow saved by the main characters', um, "stream". These things just pop up with little set-up.

    Early in the film, it seems the writer or director was bound and determined to show that women can be as horny as men. That seems a little too two-dimensional, even for a farce like this.

    The film resolves plot lines with no real drama. There is no "danger" anywhere. It is mostly an attempt at a sex comedy played for laughs.

    Goofy and dumb Korean sex comedy

    This is really a graphic sex movie or anything like that. And I do like some underdog movies, but this one just came up short. It's like watching a super goofy supernatural Korean version of the movie with Tobey Maquire and Jake Gyllenhaal...Sort of, kinda. The whole premise is dumb and it tries to go for that dumb Hollywood comedy direction. The plot is basically about a guy that has insecurity issues, thus he drinks a magic potion which gives him a large penis. And what he does with his new found gift. You aren't really going to get anything out of this movie. I personally found is slight amusing at certain points, but when it comes down to it. It's just another Korean sex comedy.

    4.8/10
