Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 11/21/2012
True to its title, this energetic Hong Kong comedy trades primarily in off-color gags, yet its tone, like that of John Waters's films, is so playful and inclusive that it's unlikely to offend anyone. Go to Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times 10/04/2012
2.5/4
"Vulgaria" is certainly crude, but most of its amusing vulgarity is discreetly held off screen. Go to Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 09/28/2012
2/4
A broad, cartoonish -- and decidedly filthy -- satire of moviemaking is as sophomoric as they come. Go to Full Review Edmund Lee Screen International 03/30/2016
Having spent much of his career filtering good humour through very bad taste, writer-director Pang Ho-cheung delivers arguably his naughtiest picture to date with a pitch-black comedy. Go to Full Review Kam Williams myfilmblog 10/13/2012
1/4
A transparent, bait-and-switch disappointment strictly for suckers. Go to Full Review Daniel Eagan Film Journal International 09/28/2012
A producer goes to bizarre lengths to complete a soft-core film in this coarse, exuberant Hong Kong comedy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/27/2017 It's very funny if you are conversant in Cantonese, because a major plot device relies heavily on a very particular mispronounciation, or perhaps a misunderstanding due to a difference in pronounciation by someone from another province. It also helps if you are somewhat involved in the production industry, and you'll appreciate a lot of the observations, some subtle, some outrageous. See more 07/24/2016 It'll be funnier if you understand the language. Anyhow, Vulgaria was as manipulative as it's vulgar... See more 12/26/2014 hahaha, loved! peppered with lotsa sexual innuendos, most of which were smart, hilarious. you must, must, wait for the credits to roll ... icing on top of the cake awaits! bloody entertaining. See more 08/08/2014 Cleverly filmed and acted. Very funny and very entertaining. Not for the usual family audience. See more 02/18/2014 Its a brilliant comedy masquerading as a smut film. With all the sexual talk there isn't a drop of nudity which might disappoint some but I thought it was very well done. The characters are what they are and its done well. Hilarious! See more 10/28/2013 Intelligent and silly, mostly silly. I fancy some Popping Candy now. See more Read all reviews
