The film starts with a historical figure Burton, who translate erotic books and is obsessed with doing scientific study of penis size. He works in some museum and there is something going on about him modifying his museum based on patient zero. In meantime patient zero returns as ghost and wants to clarify his name. But no one can see him, except this Burton guy. Burton os convinced that Zero is a killer of some sorts, and agrees to help. Then there is this sudden thing about monkeys in museum and them being blamed for AIDS. The whole saga points up the absurdity of wasting energy on trying to fix blame rather than find a cure.
This film, although has some good reviews online, in my opinion was a complete waste of my time. First of all a musical , and an attempt at comedy for the whole AIDS crisis is something beyond my imagination. There is weird story and way too many songs who pop up just too often. It would be really hard of rme to comment on either actor's acting capability or anything else, because by a certain point I had los almost interest whatsoever in the film and was just fast forwarding it through the musical numbers to try and make a sense of this film one way or the other. Perhaps it's the dark humor, perhaps the intellectualism, but I found "Zero Patience" somewhat off-putting. It tries to affect the viewer on so many levels that it doesn't really work on any. By the end of its 90 minutes, my patience was worn down to zero, too. (1/10)
