Young People Fucking, also called Y.P.F., is a 2007 Canadian comedy directed, written, and produced by Martin Gero and Aaron Abrams. It debuted at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.
The film intertwines the story of four different couples and one threesome over the course of one sexual encounter, with specific chapters for each one: prelude, foreplay, sex, interlude, orgasm and afterglow. Each couple represents a specific archetype. The first out of five is called The Best Friends because the characters, Matt and Kristen, decide to become friends with benefits. They discover romantic feelings for each other.
The second stereotype being The Couple. Andrew and Abby, a long-time couple, are having trouble trying to put spice back into their lovelife and try something "new".
The third stereotype is labeled The Exes. In it, Mia and Eric meet up for a one-off sexual encounter after having broken up some time back.
In the fourth stereotype, The First Date, Jamie brings her womanizing date Ken back to her apartment.
And in the final fifth stereotype, The Roommates, two friends are roommates and one friend tells the other to have sex with his girlfriend.
The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 37% of 19 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating was 5.2/10.Metacritic rated it 39/100 based on five reviews. Justin Chang of Variety wrote, "Neither as extreme nor, for that matter, as interesting as its troublesome title, Young People Fucking delivers what it promises, though calling them 'people' might be overstating the case." Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail rated it 2.5/4 stars and said that the film is not as outrageous as its title. Lacey called it appropriate for an American cable TV series. Peter Howell of The Toronto Star rated it 3/4 stars and called it "very funny and insightful". Leonard Klady of Screen Daily wrote, "Neither documentary nor hardcore, it's an ingeniously constructed pastiche of sexual encounters presented affectionately and with humour."
