Conduct Zero (2002)
7/10
Good movie!
23 December 2004
Conduct Zero is the story of teenage gangs fighting in Korea. Jung-pil is the champion fighter of his school, he and his friends sell anime style porn drawings on the street, and everything is going great. He then meets new girl Min-hee, and starts a cute, clean-cut little relationship with her that involves frequent library visits and guitar lessons for dates. This soon leads to plenty of problems with Jung-pil's old posse and a challenge to his title as the king of the school.

Conduct Zero may not be exactly deep, meaningful, or even realistic, but it's entertaining enough to be worth its running time. The movie is funny, cute, and at times exciting, and would definitely be worth the rental price.

Not the best...
21 November 2004
As a fan of Cary Grant's work in such comedies as Philadelphia Story and Bringing Up Baby, I was thoroughly disappointed by this movie.

It has a few shining, laugh out loud moments in the beginning and in the well known cross-dressing segment near the ending, but I found the middle to be long, slow and not very entertaining. The plot wasn't very interesting and Grant's adventures became repetitive and boring. Also, Grant isn't very convincing as a Frenchman, and I kept forgetting why he had trouble getting into the States in the first place. If you have trouble sitting through slow-moving movies, I would definitely not recommend this.

However, on the opposite side, there are a few funny moments, a cute romantic plot, and, of course, Cary Grant. See it if you wish, but be warned not to have too high of expectations.
