Truly Dreadful Film

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The Oh in Ohio is a good, fun, and light movie. It doesn't go very far, but it manages to entertain for the duration of the film. While The OH in OHio is about some scandalous things : masturbation and mistresses among other sex related things, it manages to keep it silly and avoids cringe-worthy scenes. Dare I say that it wouldn't be that bad if you watched with your parents. The actors help keep the film afloat. Paul Rudd is his usual awkward and low-key comical self, while Parker Posey, the master of quirky, also gives me a good laugh. Her character is super endearing, innocent and sweet. Then there's Danny DeVito who plays the male version of Parker Posey's character. And finally, Mischa Barton brings a little oomph, a little scandal and a little sex to it all. There is very little conflict in this film, which isn't a bad thing. It is refreshing as it seems that the film is not trying too hard to take its viewer on a roller coaster in attempts to keep them constantly entertained. Therefore, if you are looking for something upbeat, not too intense and that defines one meaning of love and identity then this is your movie!

I would have assumed that "The Oh! in Ohio" was trying to be the Judd Apatow sex comedies for females, but this was released in 2006 just before the Apatow craze began. So now I'm not sure what they were trying to go for.It's marketed as a comedy but it's more of a drama. The plot line is that Priscilla Chase (Parker Posey) and her husband (Paul Rudd) are in an unhappy marriage because she isn't able to climax. Along with "50 million other women who suffer from orgasmic dysfunction" as the film tells us.The film moves forward with Posey trying to have an orgasm. I'm assuming these scenes were supposed to provide us laughs but they weren't very funny. The other half of the movie is Rudd living his depressed life as a biology teacher. Finally the film industry has figured out that occasionally there are teachers for subjects other than English, but unfortunately it's in this movie just so we can have him spout the names of some sex organ muscles. Paul Rudd is one of my favourite actors, but the story for his character is extremely poorly done. The humour is so low-key, that I view it more as a drama, so there is no pay-off for his poor character. I might even have to blame this film for Rudd being relegated to buddy comedies now.There is a lot to not like in this film, but Posey does shine, and some of the "50 million women who suffer from orgasmic dysfunction" might enjoy "The Oh! in Ohio" but probably not many other people will.

The complete story is about "sexual dysfunction" of a woman, and her supportive husband getting nuts about being unable to satisfy his wife, and after 10 years, he decides to have a break.Actually i am pretty sure that the director modified the actual scenario because no one but only obsessive feminists would watch it, he changed it a little bit (that's why he is in the writers list) and again with another wise move, he put Mischa Barton in the film.The director has done his best, Mischa is adorable, but yet the film sucks!My vote is 1 out of 10. Waste of time...

Almost any survey regarding female frigidity shows that in any given part of the world anywhere from 30 to 50% of all women never or very rarely reach orgasm. So what do women like that do? Well, they basically have only three options: they become rabid feminists, Catholic nuns, or they marry Tom Cruise.TOIO is a decent sex-romp, perhaps a bit too crude, but considering how bad comedies have been in the last decade, I am willing to overlook its faults. Certainly there is the utter predictability regarding Posey hooking up with and finally getting her first non-masturbatory orgasm with De Vito. (Posey should get a bravery medal for kissing with him.) The other problem is the casting of Minnelli and Mischa Barton; Minnelli, who fortunately appears only briefly, should only be playing monsters in low-budget horror films, what with the numerous face-lifts that have left her looking like an alien being. (The shrill voice doesn't help either: more like a siren.) As for Barton, I have no clue who finds this gangly, flat-chested, square-jawed woman "beautiful". She has the sex-appeal of Minnelli's buttocks. Someone like Elisha Cuthbert would have played the young femme fatale far more convincingly. The rest of the cast are okay. The standout is Posey who plays the initially uptight and slightly eccentric career women perfectly.(This comment is dedicated to Mischa Barton's last meal, which was in March of 2003. May it digest forever in her shrinking stomach...)
