... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreI stumbled across this movie, since it features one of my favorite comedy actors, Jason Sudeikis. Were it not for the good reviews it had here, I would probably have overlooked it.You can best sum this movie up as grown up version of American Pie - it's about a group of people trying to expand their sexual boundaries and their funny and sometimes awkward way of dealing with it. Yet the humor is definitely more subtle and mature. The actors do a good job, especially Sudeikis and Labine, and have a good group chemistry. The sex scenes aren't more explicit than in most movies nowadays - less than you would expect from a movie with the word orgy in the title.I'm sure had it been named 'One Last Party", it would have done better. Worthwhile watching it.
... View MoreDon't you really miss when comedy did not imply using an stupid character (or making every character stupid through the use of alcohol or drugs) ? Don't you miss when comedies were really written with a real story and character development behind ?.Don't you miss when actors making you laugh without overacting or creating absurd and forced situations ? Well if you are the kind of person that consider THE HANGOVER or HAROLD AND KUMAR Christmas as sophisticated (or perhaps funny ) comedies then do not bother reading the rest (however the fact that you can read is a good thing; means there is still hope and your brain is still somewhat working).A GOOD OLD FASHIONED ORGY is about growing and even worse cutting ties with our gone youth. When two friends within a group, decide to organize an orgy as a farewell to their previous superficial and empty life style; things get really strange and every one of them expose very valid reasons for refusing or accepting the proposal.Events that follow, are credible and natural; because every character is perfectly but briefly developed (in order to maintain the pace).Things get not always funny; as it is in real life; but by the end, taking risk always has its rewards.If there is a low point in the movie; it is the orgy itself. There is no nudity or eroticism and during the event. It looks like writers and/or director tried to moralize the situation, making it look like boring.Well, it is not true. I lived something similar many years ago; and is one of my fondest memories. It is also a sad one because it really was a farewell and a change in my life.Please enjoy this movie; it really deserve it.
... View MoreOK, last night I needed a break. The day had been hard, I had zero energy, I didn't think I could watch an entire movie. That's why I picked "A good old fashion orgy". I thought, well if I fall asleep during this one, no big deal. But it was actually much funnier than I expected. The group of actors were quite refreshing with some faces we know (Lake Bell from How to make it in America, Jason Sudeikis from SNL).What most surprised me were the dialogues, I thought it was witty and well written, I laughed a lot. Also, it was not as obvious as I had expected so you actually want to know how the orgy is turning out. Unfortunately there was one scene too many where the main male characters go on an orgy observation mission that provides way too many visual details. Special mention to Rhys Coiro for his douche bag character, it was just awesome to see Billi Walsh again! So, if you're in the mood for an easy to watch, no brainer movie, A good old fashion Orgy will do the trick.
... View MoreThis movie is not for the serious minded, and as the title suggests, not something you would see with your grandmother. The premise is ridiculous, but its actually more original than one of those national lampoons movies. Its stupid funny, and some of the well placed jokes actually made me laugh out loud. I would say this is a movie to see if you its something you see on Netflix or HBO, although I don't think I would buy it, and renting would be only if there is nothing else to see. If you are into those Eurotrip kind of movies, this will be right up your ally, and actually seems to be made for an older crowd which is a nice change of pace.Give the fact that it seemed to achieve exactly what it wanted and that it didn't have horrible or distracting acting, I would give this movie a solid 7. Its not the best movie I have ever seen, and I doubt I will recommend it, but I don't feel like it wasn't worth my time to watch and at several points it is actually very funny.
