It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Everyone knows that folks in the '60's and '70's did some serious swinging, and from what you hear about young people today, you get the impression that they only stop slurping each other's privates when they take a break to send each other naked pictures on their cell phones. So what happened to people like me, who came of age in the '80's and '90's? AIDS, that's what. We grew up hearing that sex was a scary, dangerous thing that could kill you. It didn't completely stop us from having sex, but it probably did cut down on the debauchery. "A Good, Old-Fashioned Orgy" is the story of a group of 30-somethings who set out to remedy that.Eric (Jason Sudeikis) and his group of high-school friends, which consists of several cute chicks and an assortment of dorky guys, have grown up partying at Eric's dad's beach house. When his dad puts the house up for sale, the friends see the end of not only their epic parties, but of the free, irresponsible chapter of their lives. (Which, given that they are about 30, they have stretched out pretty far, anyway.) Eric convinces the group to see the beach house off with one, last epic soire, a good, old-fashioned orgy between friends.You see the title of this film, and you figure it will be a fun sex-romp, and eventually it is, but they do take their time getting there. This is a story about 30-year-olds belatedly coming of age, so first they have to set up the many characters and their first-world issues. This is less a story about an orgy, and more a story about people realizing that they can only stretch their adolescence out so far, and I wish the film had either done a better job exploring that theme or just focused on the sex. In any event, it's a moderate amount of fun. Sudeikis plays a funny, charming ladies' man, and Tyler Labine is pretty good as his fat, crude sidekick. There's one really funny scene that makes the whole film, where the guys do some research in an underground sex club. Basically, much of the movie is a less good- looking, less funny version of "The Hangover." Also, in keeping with the modern trend, there are more naked, male buttocks on screen than naked, female breasts, and my wife points out that the male buttocks aren't all that great. "A Good, Old-Fashioned Orgy" is fairly fun and funny, but if you are looking for soft-porn you will do better with "A Game of Thrones."2.5 stars out of 5

I 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.

'A GOOD OLD FASHIONED ORGY': Four Stars (Out of Five) 80's style sex comedy done right! This movie may not have as much sex, nudity and raunchy humor as some might be expecting given it's title but what it does have to offer is much better and more fulfilling in my opinion. Jason Sudeikis gives his best performance to date and makes a great leading man, heading up an outstanding ensemble cast with a lot of chemistry (which is a great deal of why the film really works).Sudeikis plays Eric, the leader of a small group of tight friends who came to love throwing big wild summer parties at Eric's dad's house. When Eric's dad (played by none other than Don Johnson) tells Eric he's selling the house Eric and his friends are devastated. The group decides to throw one last big hurrah before losing the house but want it to be something intimate between just the core group of eight friends. So Eric comes up with the idea of having an orgy! The movie was written and directed by Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck (a successful TV writing team for shows like 'KING OF THE HILL', 'THE TRACY MORGAN SHOW', 'FRASIER' and 'LATE SHOW WITH David LETTERMAN'). This is their first movie and I think they did a fantastic job. They kind of promised a raunchy sex comedy, which they somewhat delivered, but they also gave us a feel good movie about friendship, which also happens to be very funny. Thanks in large part to the cast, like I said, with great supporting turns by Tyler Labine and Will Forte. It may not be the movie some are looking for but it's a pretty good film nonetheless.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SILVr6aykQ

Alright, well "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" is basically all that you would want from a teen comedy, except that it has been spiced up and has a more mature content. Same recipe as a teen comedy, except it is meant for an adult audience. And it worked out so well. Especially because "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" was more than just your average comedy. It is also a heartfelt movie about friendships and accepting one another for your unique personalities and coming to terms with yourself and life.I was genuinely surprised by the depth of this movie, because I had initially just thought it to be yet another comedy that comes out of Hollywood by the dozens every month. And I am glad that I did sit down to watch it, because it really was a great movie.And what made this movie so great, aside from the nice story, was of course the cast. They had really put together some nice actors and actresses for this movie, and the on-screen chemistry between then was working so well. The one who carried the movie, in my opinion, was Tyler Labine (playing Mike), he was hilarious and also had the most outrageous character. However, each and every one in the movie really did good jobs with their characters and in portraying them.If you like comedies that have a more solid foundation and story to it, you definitely want to check out "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy".
