Reception
Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "So much crude humor can grow exhausting in places ... but the filmmakers manage to keep things fast-paced and funny enough".[15] Muriel Del Don of Cineuropa found the film "captivating and irreverent".[16] Martin Kudlac of ScreenAnarchy found that the film "deftly balances" the two storylines, "making the journey of the sperms both an epic quest and a hilarious romp, while Jens and Lisa's story grounds the film in relatable teenage experiences."[17] Tasha Robinson of Polygon found the film's plot "shallow" and the humour "juvenile", but the songs "catchy", the storytelling "weird and playful", and the parody elements "specific and pointed".[18]
