This is a movie about the beginning of life! A tale so basic and universal, it's a wonder no one has told it before. We're talking about the race, the origin of all races as it were, between millions of sperm cells, all frantically trying to fertilize a single egg. It's a quest fraught with peril, where all but one are doomed to failure.

Jordan Mintzer

The Hollywood Reporter

So much crude humor can grow exhausting in places — how many puns do we really need that employ the term “cum”? — but the filmmakers manage to keep things fast-paced and funny enough until we reach the final, ugh, climax.

Guy at the Movies

Spermageddon’s humor and creativity work in spots, but even at only 79 minutes long, the repetitive puns make for an exhausting affair.

Rated: 2/5

Spermageddon is vulgar and insolent in all the right ways. [Full Review in Spanish]

Inside Out 2 explores the inner life of its teenage protagonist without showing a single emotion that connects it to Eros. Another animated film, world premiered at Annecy, addresses the same topic without timidity: Spermageddon! [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 2.5/4

ScreenAnarchy

Hilarious and unexpectedly heartwarming. ... Combines Wirkola’s flair for the outrageous with Sivertsen’s touch of innocence, resulting in a film that defies easy categorization. ... Probably the most unlikeliest family movie in the history of cinema.

Solzy at the Movies

Spermageddon has a Pixar-esque feel to it--despite the content at hand--but this coming-of-age musical comedy is the epic adventure that we didn't know we needed.

Rated: 4/5
