Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

jacek_malek There are barely few Polish comedies which are worth watching all the time. This is one of them. Actually this is the best of them. The description of the main plot you can read in many other reviews posted here. However this movie despite what you can directly see or hear has a second bottom. This second bottom can be understood only by the people which were living in communistic regime: Hungary, Czech, Slovakia, Lithuania and others but as far as I can tell that list excludes strangely Russia, which can be told by the reviews posted here. Anyhow how this movie came through our censorship in the 80s (Poland was still communistic at that time) remains a mystery to me. That shows only the the censors were idiots and the director with the producer did outstanding job (impossible job) to convince the censors. Unbelievable. I was 6 when this movie was shown in the cinemas around. However my mum told me that everyone clapped their hands in the cinema after the show. And that was just a regular show with no celebrities invited. That shows the genius of the movie: to tell the story without actually telling the story. Showing something and describing by the way something completely different. Outstanding and worth seeing. Even if you do not understand this second bottom the movie is worth seeing because it is one of the best example of how the real polish comedy shall look like.

lasttimeisaw It's a rare gem which doesn't weather away for nearly 30 years, from Polish director Juliusz Machulski, it's a Sci-Fi satire, two men awake in 2044 from their prolonged hibernation (two guinea pigs for science devotion or other reasons whatsoever) find out they dwell in a girls- run-the-world civilization with an utter male-extinction premise, which sounds instinctively should prompt great source work for heterosexual porn movies, although the female sexual exploitation may not be dodged (for the audience's sake), the film's novelty lies in its satisfying and unexpected device of an utter revelry which defies genre savvy with whimsical set pieces and twists-and-turns, a parthenogenesis propagation laboratory, the neutralization or liquidation verdict (with the history-twisted gender-switch for Copernicus and Einstein, even more farcical to satirize Ms. Curie), the father-daughter "reunion", the ludicrous password " Fxxx" gag, not to mention the final anti-climate unveiling of "the third man", it is a rudimentary success in conveying its apolitical farce above all the presumably controversial bearings among the gender-sensitive, hegemony-wary, surveillance omnipresent, rebellion-quelling and eroticism-awakening nitpicking. Two leading actors, Olgierd Lukaszewicz and Jerzy Stuhr, one prim, another more secular (at the beginning, their characteristics are manifestly reflected by the different knee-jerking responses towards a glass-cracking accident, an internal pressure or a bad omen) comprise an amiable pair, the now-ubiquitous neologism "bromance" can effortlessly find its own mirror here; various sleek and sensual women delineated here are mostly warrior-like outside, wooden and brainwashed inside, but eventually there will be two lucky ones who will fall prey as the rewards for the last two men standing. It's a mainstream smart move yet overall convincingly played out. Decorated with a Sci-Fi milieu, the claustrophobic settings and synthesizer-produced electronic score can easily betray the film's 80s trappings, but Juliusz Machulski has a sober sense not to be too lenient in its thematically pie-in-the-sky orgy, when the film ends with an overlong close-up at a new-born baby's penis, it is a truly satisfactory culmination. PS: if my memory serves me well, it is actually the second Polish film I've ever watched, heralds an auspicious starting point for me to perambulate this strange land.

Idalcia As I'm Polish I've got the possibility of enjoying every single word and dialog in this outstanding movie and somehow relating it to Polish stereotypes and history... but I really do think that 'Sexmission' will be just as hilarious to everyone... =) The plot, the action, the characters played by unrivaled actors make this movie definitely worth watching - and it makes you die with laughter =). It's number one of all the comedies I've seen, even though I've seen it hundreds of times =). Watching the poor men being woken up in the world of women and trying to catch on the situation...well it's something to see, really =)))!

nra-2 It's showing at the Everyman soonSexmission, Juliusz Machulski's sexy second feature, is a cult Polish comedy, whose dialogues and lines have entered into every day language. Two men kept in hibernation for 50 years learn that they are the only living specimens of the male sex in a new, underground society run by the League of Women's Lib. The female archeologist who digs them up hypothesises she has found the missing link between women and apes.The heroes facing harsh treatment from their female guards will do anything to save their skin and to re-establish the male population.This highly original sci-fi story with a twist and great performances by Poland's top actors is one of the most popular Polish movies of all times.
