Safe Sex

its a nice comedy, with every day characters that successfully show -with the needed portion of humor of course- the modern portrait of the Greek sex life in the city. One can recognize in the stories given, a personal ¨adventure¨ or a story of a friend. And because Greek society is becoming more and more ¨westernised¨ i think that most of the viewers from all over the western world can find the truth inside and can laugh with the smart script. If you like comedies you will enjoy it and if you have a respectable sense of humor you will find it better than most of the US trash that lacks of imagination and real humor. Its a good option for a cool Sunday evening with friends.

The movie is simply excellent. No wonder it was an absolute hit in the Greek theaters. It has great humor (although sometimes a bit vulgar), everything is said as it should be said, and with a set of parallel stories, the modern Athenian society is criticized. One recognizes all figures in the immediate community. The cuttings are excellent, the casting simply the best comedians available at the time and the lines hilarious.

I find it one of the best comedies of Greek cinematography, and everyone loved it. The only exceptions were "cinephils" who expected high class cinema, and refuse to accept funny everyday situation as art. I believe the art of making your audience laugh (a task in which both creators Reppas and Papathanassiou are masters, and very well known and appreciated from the Greek TV) is not only considerably more difficult than to sell any crap as wrapped art not to be understood by the average audience, but it even dares to put a mirror in the face of every spectator and have them encounter their own reality.

Many critics didn't like it for it was not artistic enough. The audience loved it and simply made an unprecedented box office hit out of it. If you like sitcoms than, the movie is a must.

A really brilliant film and a must-see one! I disagree with all those who mentioned all the "negative" issues. If you expected a "cult" movie then you should go to see an other film - although from my point of view, IT IS a "cult" movie and a classic. You know pretty well what I mean! I enjoyed every minute of the film and I keep seeing it regularly. The 2 writers are brilliant and they have proved their talent repeatedly. Brilliant actors in the film as well, the best that the Greek cinema could offer! Despite everything, this film IS a classic! It made me laugh so much when I saw it first. And it does keep making me laugh every time I watch it!

A movie that could really make a worldwide blockbuster if it is translated or subtitled. A really smart and intelligent use of the meaning of "safe sex". A must see for all Greeks, and an interesting point of view of the modern greek way of life. Even funnier than "Pedal Douce"

Safe sex in cold facts: 1st on the Greek Box office with 1000000 tickets. The most commercial greek movie in the history of greek cinematography. Countless well known greek actors in the cast. Two of the most popular tv directors. In greece this film had a massive hype which can only be compared to the hype of titanic!

Safe sex my view: First of all i would like to say before i write my view that i am a big fan of the cinema,i have stopped watching commercial movies a long time ago.I have attended many Movie festivals and the last one was a "Kenzi Mizoguchi" festival in greece which was truly superb.Then why did i watch the movie? My friends aren't like me they don't watch a movie that's not a blockbaster they are totally tasteless so we have like an unsaid agreement i watch movies they like,they watch movies i like. So it was their turn to choose and they chose "Safe Sex"... the weird thing was that i really wanted to see this movie cause i heard like many good comments of people who i trust. So we went out and barely found a ticket and bought some pop&corn and stuff and started watching the movie... I must say that i was at first impressed by the countless actors that apeared before me,later on i thought "Why do these people laugh?" this "comedy" had no good jokes but only COUNTLESS bad jokes when i say countless i mean that i doubt even if 20 seconds passed by without another tasteless joke was said.So i was wondering why didn't i laugh and i turned and saw my friends...."George" who's favorite movie is "Fame" laughed all the time (I wasn't suprised) "Tina" the only friend who has watched almost as many movies as i have seemed sceptical and then there was the Half movie Break,we spoke of what we thought firstly george said that it was possibly the best movie he has watched this year,than i said it was possibly the only movie i have seen that had no script,and then tina agreed with me and added that she hasn't seen worst jokes on a movie in her whole life! Our views wasn't changed until the end because nothing really changed. What i thought after watching the movie? It's a pity that good greek movies don't get more than a total of 1/10 the tickets this movie got! This movie doesn't mark a new age of good movies in greece but a new age of countless tasteless commercial movies in greece!
