Cummings Farm

I remember this movie's cover from the first time I watched the movie back when it was just released. But I have to admit that I have fully and totally forgotten about the contents of the storyline, and thus opted to watch the movie again here in 2025, as I had the opportunity to do so.

Truth be told, I figured that I would be in for a comedy here, given the movie's title, cover and synopsis. But writer Ted Beck delivered a script that was rather devoid of comedy elements. It was more of a cringeworthy drama, given the dialogue, the situation, the characters and the general awkwardness of the entire premise of the movie. So it was a bit of a disappointment to sit down and watch "All American Orgy", as I was expecting to be brought to laughs. That doesn't mean that "All American Orgy" was a bad movie, it was just something very different than what I was expecting.

I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. And that is actually something that I do enjoy in a movie whenever I watch a movie. The acting performances in the movie were actually fair.

Having sat through the movie again now in 2025, I can see why I totally forgot about the movie the first time around.

My rating of director Andrew Drazek's 2009 movie "All American Orgy" lands on a very generous four out of ten stars.

This is a wonderful movie that was obviously marketed (look at the cover art) to the "American Pie" teenage boy audience. Big mistake. Because they will inevitably be disappointed and they are most likely the majority of votes that have this movie at around a 4.1 rating on IMDb. If the distribution/marketing on this movie had just been honest, or even slightly honest, it would at least have been acknowledged in the indie market. The cover art, title and general feel of the movie will also immediately turn away the exact people that would love this movie. The movie is hilarious, honest and the acting is spot on. The writer of the movie who also plays the sociopath character Todd is stellar and I am amazed, looking at his IMDb page, that he doesn't have multiple projects both writing and acting lined up after making this movie.

This movie reminded me of "The Anniversary," while also making me laugh out loud throughout. Awesome. Hope these guys get another shot or this movie gets the recognition it deserves. Hollywood ad men just ruin stuff cause they think everyone outside of LA and NY are retarded.

It isn't really a comedy, but it has very funny moments. I agree with other reviewers that it looks from the cover of the packaging that is was an "American Pie" or perhaps a bit of something similar. It was nothing like "American Pie" or anything similar to those movies.

It was interesting. It took a bit to get past the vulgarity/crudeness sometime revulsion of many of the images/comments that the characters made BUT it was interesting. It had really good character development and actually a pretty fresh plot. A couple of times I wanted to change the channel or do something else but am very glad I didn't.

The location was unusual as was the sets it employed. The sound contributed a lot. It was pretty high quality which told me almost immediately it was NOT soft porn but perhaps something else. I am not a huge fan of rap/hip hop type music but this added to this movie and did not overshadow it. A Wagner classical death march at one point made me truly pay attention as the classical was not expected.

It does remind me a tiny bit of "Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice..." etc but it was in some ways a very different movie. If this is the first effort by the producer/actors/director I would try to make some more movies for sure! I don't think it had a huge budget but it really did not matter. They were 20/30 somethings who had decided for better or worse to try something new. Another note, the characters didn't look like cookie cutter plastic surgery models. They were quite real. I think each actor especially the women should continue acting.

When I was the title on a premium channel I thought at first it was soft porn because of the time slot but it is not even resembling that. The sound track was actually quite good! It was at moments repulsive almost always interesting and has a good deal of action/interaction going on. Sex surprisingly was not the main focus. There was a certain amount of drugs in this movie but it was a good addition to the story. It made it more believable.

This wasn't my favorite movie I have ever watched but I liked the movie enough to watch it again. As an avid movie viewer I am not easy to please and am often very bored. I think you should give it a try and watch it!

OK so I found this movie thinking it was soft porn. By the time I realized it wasn't I didn't even care. By the end of the movie I was nearly pissing myself laughing.

This is one of the most original, intelligent, funniest movies ever. It really shows how unrealistic our societies porno-saturated homophobic expectations of sex are. It'll make you extremely uncomfortable if you're a prude though.

I'm amazed I had never even heard of this, it must have been some huge distribution/advertisement mistake. It's a very well made movie. This is going into my collection of favorites right along with the works of Scorsese and Kubrick. This really is a masterpiece in it's own unique/raunchy/hilarious way.

You could also separate Le Change from my summary and have one single word standing there. If that is what you are expecting from this movie, then better not watch it (though a reviewer here has revealed that he still was entertained by it).

But let's get the elephant out of the room. They should have stuck to the original title (Cummings Farm instead of All American Orgy, as it is called on DVD). But that is not the only deceiving point (as is also stated in the commentary that is on the DVD). You also have the cover/poster, that promises something completely different (which gets mentioned on the commentary too, but not until 72 minutes into the movie).

Enough of that though. Because this is pretty decent. It is more of a commentary or a state of how people communicate. And while this is nothing ground breaking, it is still very well made. On the other hand, if you expect some easy to digest comedy bits, you will be disappointed. And not everything works out in the movie.

While the commentary is funny enough too, trashing themselves (over acting talents or lack of talents) and having a conversation that works with me, but will not appeal to everybody of course.

If your local drug dealer is probably the most sane person in the movie, you know what you're in for (though he's not that sane after all, as we find out). So while not a classic and not a laugh out loud comedy and definitely not what the cover is suggesting, this is a pretty good movie in its own right

One more thing: I was surprised by the music at the beginning and at the end (credits), because it felt like a good production. Which I am not used to, when smaller budgeted movies do urban or temporary music, it always feels out of touch. And while Cash Money or Master P and so on, are a thing of the past, the music that kind of sounds like that, still works for the movie.
