Orgazmo

Obviously this film isn't for everyone. It certainly isn't for all of those individuals who take themselves way too seriously, and over-analyze everything. And sure, it doesn't take a whole lot of brains to appreciate this movie; although it doesn't hurt to have intelligence as long as you have a sense of humor. Read the other reviews. Those who didn't enjoy this flick are either so religious that they shouldn't have watched it in the first place, or are overly self-important and humorless people. That being said, I really enjoyed Orgazmo. Parker doesn't just make fun of Mormons, adult entertainment, and super-heroes: as always, he makes fun of himself and his own movie. How could he possibly do such a thing? Well, it's easy when you have a sense of humor. The great Don Rickles once said, "Laugh. Laugh at other people and laugh at yourself. Believe me, you'll like yourself a lot more when you can do that." As for Orgazmo, see it yourself, if you have a sense of humor. And if you don't, then stay away from it. Or get really high and watch it. The choice is yours.

I have watched this fine piece of of cinematic brilliance over 30 times and I'm still not tired of it. Literally, HILARIOUS, from start to finish, from the perfect "porn trak," G-Fresh, Choda Boy, Dave the lighting guy, "Sancho," Lisa, T-Rex, all the porn actors, MAXXX Orbison, and my personal favorite, A-Cup. Why hasn't A-Cup been in more movies? This upsets me. This is REQUIRED viewing. Too funny to miss. Giving you a synopsis of the story would be a waste of time. "What's that? You dirty girl! I can do that!"

Sometimes I just need brain candy. When I need brain candy, I can rely on Matt Stone and Trey Parker to deliver.

Orgazmo is full of potty humour, blasphemy, and other rudeness. It relentlessly mocks religious zealots, the porn industry, and nearly everything in between.

There is nothing good about the acting or production qualities -- in fact, the *poor* acting and production qualities add to the humour, I think, in the same way that the cheesy attempt at animation adds to the humour of South Park. The entertainment value of 'Orgazmo' lies primarily in the situation -- and even if the individual jokes are not fantastically original, the situation *is*. It's just good, stupid fun.

Think of the rudest, raunchiest of all the South Park episodes -- like the one where Cartman joins NAMBLA, or the one where the kids start a fad of sexually stimulating dogs. If you enjoyed those, you will probably enjoy Orgazmo. If you didn't appreciate the humour or found them offensive, don't bother with this movie.

Personally, my tastes are so base that I consider this one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen.

I consider Roger Ebert, of Chicago Sun Times the greatest movie critic alive. But after reading his critic on this flick I realized he didn't get its meaning. `Orgazmo' is not about wit, cleverness or anything. It's not even an attempt at making a good movie. `Orgazmo' is any movie-amateur's dream. Here it is: a movie that is daring, funny, full of inn-jokes, and stuff you can use in your day to day life and make friends laugh at it. Anything better than the Japanese duo that struggles with the pronunciation of English sentences? We've seen it; we know it's true. This movie has absolutely everything. Let me tell you what you're in for: a vulgar exposure of American Society trough Mormons; a sent up of porno flicks (in a scene a black guy is used as a double for a white guy); Hollywood's lifestyle…I mean, keep an open mind and you'll enjoy this one. Rate: 4/5

'South Park.' What more needs to be said? If you aren't aware of the animated cartoon aimed at adults then you really should check it out. And, if you do (and you like it of course!), then you should then definitely check out 'Orgazmo.' It's written and starring South Park's two creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone and the film could almost be described as a 'live action version of the cartoon.' Basically, it's the same mixture of irreverent humour mixed with slapstick, f*rt jokes and a healthy dose of satire mixed with just enough heart to elevate it over your average 'gross out' comedy flick.

So, just like South Park, the film opens mixing two of their favourite topics: adult circumstances and Mormons. We meet 'Joe' – just your average Mormon (played by Trey Parker) who's going from door to door in Los Angeles trying to spread the 'good word.' Now, he's well used to getting one door slammed in his face after the next. This is all just part of the life of a Mormon and he takes it with good grace, already affirming him as a decent – if only slightly annoying – character. However, he gets more than he bargains for when he knocks on the door of a house where an *ahem* 'adult' movie is being filmed inside. And, through a complete coincidence, they're on the lookout for 'new talent.' What follows is basically the story of a devote Mormon masquerading as a p*rn star. Now, that may be crazy enough, only they go one step further and transfer him into a crime fighting superhero who wields a ray-gun which, if hit by its beam, makes you… er… well, the clue is in the film's title.

Now, 'Orgazmo' may not be the funniest film and it may not be the most well-written. However, what it lacks when the jokes and/or plot fall a little flat is heart. You just can't help but love the characters themselves. The good is truly good and the bad guys are just crying out to be thwarted. You will need to be quite broad-minded when it comes to what sort of humour you find funny. I've already mentioned the word 'adult' when talking about this film – and for good reason. Basically, if you're a fan of South Park then you should love this film as much as I do. It'll never rise to the heights as it's animated cousin, but it's definitely a cult classic that deserves an hour and a half of your time.

The only drawback for me is that it's all Trey Parker and not enough of his co-creator Matt Stone. Stone is in it, but not enough for my liking (but what he does when he's there is typically awesome – and did I mention 'adult' in nature?).
