The Helmet

No harm in converting barmy ideas into socially-relevant comedies, which is what 'Helmet' thinks of itself. But that needs smarts.

The problem being dramatised is clear, but one of Helmet's weaknesses is that it demands we watch grown adults behaving like dumb, horny kids.

The quirky comedy tops with defined performances and relevant social message make this film a good watch.

Helmet takes on a brave theme. But the subsequent holding back robs it of much potential depth, and limits the discussion on condoms in the film mostly to one dimension.
