Men of Plastic

About This Movie

Men of Plastic is an offbeat comedy that dives into the world of cosmetic surgery with a quirky lens. Dae-guk, the nosy protagonist, brings this almost absurd energy, contrasting sharply with Ji-woo’s cool demeanor. The chemistry between the two is intriguing, their banter often lightening the more serious undertones of vanity and societal pressures. The film's pacing feels unhurried, allowing for some humorous character explorations. Practical effects and makeup work here have a charm that elevates the narrative. It’s not your typical buddy comedy, but rather a satirical take on the obsession with appearance, wrapped in a light-hearted but thought-provoking package. Definitely a unique piece in the comedy landscape of 2022.
