Spermageddon

This is not a Pixar movie! Prepare for a deluge of animated… bodily fluids, dirty jokes and everything awkward about teenage sex lives. Although Spermageddon emulates the formula of mainstream animated films for children, it is ultimately an unflinching and daring comedy, but with ‘loads’ of heart. Think of it as a combination of Inside Out and American Pie. The Norwegian film builds on the typical premise of teen comedies, only from a slightly different perspective. We find ourselves in the testicles of protagonist Jens, which is managed by an organised society of sperm. Their goal in life is clear - to do everything they can to be ejaculated and find their way to an egg, rather than just ending up in the palm of Jens’s hand. In parallel, we also follow the blossoming relationship between Jens and Lisa as they discover each other’s bodies and eventually have sex for the first time. But complications soon arise for the teenage couple, and an urgent race against time begins.
