Reviews

Erotic In-Laws received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the movie holds an average rating of 5.0/10 based on viewer feedback, with some appreciating its candid humor and others critiquing the film for relying heavily on clichés and predictable plotlines. Rotten Tomatoes does not have an official rating for this title, reflecting its relatively limited international release. Critics from Korean cinema blogs noted that while the film succeeds in delivering laughs through situational comedy and the chemistry between the leads, it sometimes falls into the trap of outdated gender stereotypes and lacks depth beyond its comedic premise. Some reviews praised Sang Woo for his natural performance and timing, considering him the highlight of the film. Metacritic does not currently list this movie, indicating its niche market status. Overall, Erotic In-Laws is viewed as an entertaining but somewhat forgettable entry in the genre of romantic comedies, appealing mainly to fans of lighthearted domestic humor.
