A Good Old Fashioned Orgy

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".

Firstly you have to be really open-minded to watch this. Even though the Orgy itself features in the movie, the whole story revolves mainly around the planning, personal opinions and feelings of the characters regarding the topic. The Humour was fast and witty. There was a bit of nudity featured but nothing to get upset about if you're open-minded enough to watch this Movie to start with. In General I found it highly entertaining and would recommend it to anyone who isn't going to be deterred by their religious beliefs or conservative upbringing. There were definitely a few scenes where I found myself gasping for air due to hysterical laughter. This is the New-age guys. You don't have to believe in it - but it was a blast! I loved it!!

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy is a good, well intentioned comedy. The excellent cast and unique plot line make this a fresh movie entry. It was close to being an upper class comedy but it lacked the big laughs. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire movie, but it felt like friends just shooting a funny concept rather than many planned comedic ideas.

The best strength of this movie is its cast. Everyone hits on all cylinders and contributes to the comedy. Tyler Labine was my personal favorite but being the SNL fanatic that I am, Jason Sudeikis played the cool guy extremely well and Will Forte was hilarious even as just a cameo. This movie doesn't get lost in the millions of similar comedies out there because the movie seems realistic. It feels like the natural progression that a planned orgy would bring in the 21st century.

The only real problem with the movie was a lack of big laugh moments. This movie entertains and i constantly found myself laughing, but there was no big huge memorable joke or situation short of David Koechner's part. I think if a few more of those had been integrated into this movie, it would've been one of the biggest comedies of the year.

I would recommend this movie to absolutely everyone. Don't let the name fool you, it's not a raunchy porno. Really short of about a 5 minute span there is limited nudity, but lots of lauhgs.

This movie was too much funny all the way till the end. The mixture of the cast was perfect and they all fit their roles.

At first glance I thought this would be another raunchy fratboy type flick but it was actually a bit different and pretty good. Sudekis came off like one might suspect as the ringleader. His buddies are varied enough to make it more realistic than most let's-grab-some-babes comedies. They are all a little bit interesting to include the gals they chum around with. The gist of the plot is that these lifelong friends plan on throwing an orgy on Labor Day weekend and the film is all about the summer that leads up to it. For the most part it plays relatively clean considering the title of movie but it has the right amount of skin, sex and toilet humor while it remains a cohesive movie with a concise storyline. Most in this genre don't... most veer off into dirty joke marathons or a parade of fake boobs with no discernible plot. Tim Koechner? is hilarious in the raunchiest part of the flick and the rest of the cast does a decent enough job of acting but no award winners here. The scenery is fantastic throughout and it's definitely the place you want to be for the summer (I believe it's the Hamptons but not sure). My only real knock on this was the chubby sidekick guy. He's there as a comedic go-to guy and he doesn't always deliver and they should have gave him a little better identity than the typical party animal nitwit that always show up in these flicks. The girls are a little more true to life perhaps and are as funny as the boys for the most part so I give it credit there as well. And oh yes, the eye-candy factor gets an A but don't expect this to be an out and out flesh-feast. A good amount of nudity but not rampant like late night Cinemax. The ending is semi-predictable but it doesn't matter in this one. In the end you don't feel like you've wasted time like, again, so many other fratboy-ish comedies --recommend.
