Reviews

A Tale of Legendary Libido received mixed reviews from critics. While some praised the film's unique premise and comedic moments, others found the humor to be too slapstick and the plot lacking depth. Rotten Tomatoes commented that the movie 'offers a quirky take on traditional folklore, but falls short in delivering a cohesive narrative.' IMDb users rated it 5.4 out of 10, with some describing it as 'entertaining but forgettable' and others appreciating the lighthearted nature of the story. Overall, the film's blend of comedy, romance, and fantasy appealed to a certain audience, but failed to win over everyone.
