Safe Sex

Although you get a bit of a TV feeling watching this film, it's been a long time since the Greek audience had a laugh like this watching a Greek movie or even a foreign one, as good comedies are hard to find these days.The film explores the sexual fears, problems and orientations of the modern Greeks heterosexuals, homosexuals and bisexuals in very witty way as it tells the story of many different couples that not all of them know each other but another couple is the connecting link between them.The only time they all meet is in the end.It's very difficult to bind together all those different and parallel stories without confusing the audience but the writers - also directors - of the film succeeded not to do so.

This is a hands down hilarious movie which only someone outside the Greek culture could find bad ... (see totally unfair comments from the other user). I wouldn't normally comment but seeing the ridiculous comments existing in this site, i had to bring some justice. Just see the number of people giving the highest marks! Maybe if you don't relate with modern Greek culture, then you won't appreciate the movie ... but if you do then you will become a fanatic fan! I don't have much to add, but i'm forced to have minimum 10 lines of comments. I don't understand why one should be forced to do so. It works against people spending the time and energy to give their opinion. So it hurts justice. So I will reiterate, it is a great movie, one of the funniest modern Greek movies, with an amazing mix of hilarious stories. Watch also Thiliki Eteria!

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"

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!

Indeed "safe sex" was the biggest hit in the history of Greek movies.I've heard a lot of people who went to see it again and again...and after I saw the movie I asked myself why???? I don't believe that by swearing or by making insulting pervert jokes a movie can be made funny.I am not old fashioned and I am not against swearing.I've seen many movies with even more swearing than "safe sex", but the difference is that in these movies people didn't swear for no reason at all.There was some serious background to it.Check out Kevin Smith's movies for instance, or southpark the movie.

Furthermore, the directors (which have created some really clever t.v. shows in the past) tried to fit eight different stories and almost every actor in Greece(there were almost forty of them) in a single movie.It didn't work out, so they forced the stories to merge.The result was a terrible cocktail.It seemed to me that they were more interested in casting all the actors they had in mind than making a solid story.

As for criticism, well this movie was supposed to comment on contemporary relationships and their problems.Well it did not.

To conclude, "safe sex" is the definition of a bad film.Profitable? Yes.Funny? No.Absolutely tasteless.
