#1 Cheap Y.P.F. Reviews
Special Price Today Go To Store!! (Limited Time Offer)
Having one of the most jarring titles ever, YPF is a clever, often hilarious examination of young adult relationships. If only we older slugs could have as much fun. The film is a series of intertwined vignettes featuring various couples in various stages of--"development": an established couple in somewhat of a rut; two exes coming together for a one night fling; an awkward first date; two platonic friends looking to cross the line into intimacy; and a boyfriend willing to share his girlfriend with his roommate. All the situations are well done and skillfully acted, although the roommate segment grew a bit lame (yet a pudgy Ennis Esmer was fun to watch as the overbearing, somewhat neurotic, boyfriend).
Writers Aaron Abrams and Martin Gero (who also directs) deliver a witty, fast-paced story that flows smoothly and believably. Much of it is very, very funny, yet each of the various segments wrap up in a touching, poignant manner. I especially liked Abrams himself and a stunning Carly Pope playing the two buds who decide--because their own love lives are going nowhere--to throw caution to the wind and have casual sex; the chemistry and comedic timing between the two--as they realize their feelings for each other are anything but casual--are excellent. There is no graphic sex, all scenes are tastefully and discreetly done so that the viewer fully understands what's going on, so don't be afraid YPF is too high voltage to watch. It's about young people, young people. . .you know. . .interacting. And now I'm anxiously awaiting the sequel: OPF.

Y.P.F. Overview
This frank--and frankly hilarious--Canadian indie certainly lives up to its risqu‚ title, but there's more going on in than just sex in this debut from writer/director Martin Gero. YPF follows one night in the lives of four couples and one threesome. Though most of the actors are unknown south of the Canadian border, each of them gives a heartfelt, genuine performance that should lead to more work in the future.

Of course the first time I saw this, I did not know what Y.P.F. meant, but I do now. The cover is deceiving as it looks like a follow-up of American Pie or something, but there is surprisingly a lot more complicated than that. It was very close to life and probably more cute than funny. There is about four storylines and nine major players in this movie. One dealing with a spicing up a boring relationship, another dealing with fulfilling a fantasy, one dealing with the ins and outs of being broken up, while the final one is about best friends. As I wrote before, this is more close to life than a funny no-brainer comedy, but I would recommend seeing it once; You could probably even watch this movie on a second date and not get in trouble.
