A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011)

Don't you really miss when comedy did not imply using an stupid character (or making every character stupid through the use of alcohol or drugs) ? Don't you miss when comedies were really written with a real story and character development behind ?.Don't you miss when actors making you laugh without overacting or creating absurd and forced situations ? Well if you are the kind of person that consider THE HANGOVER or HAROLD AND KUMAR Christmas as sophisticated (or perhaps funny ) comedies then do not bother reading the rest (however the fact that you can read is a good thing; means there is still hope and your brain is still somewhat working).A GOOD OLD FASHIONED ORGY is about growing and even worse cutting ties with our gone youth. When two friends within a group, decide to organize an orgy as a farewell to their previous superficial and empty life style; things get really strange and every one of them expose very valid reasons for refusing or accepting the proposal.Events that follow, are credible and natural; because every character is perfectly but briefly developed (in order to maintain the pace).Things get not always funny; as it is in real life; but by the end, taking risk always has its rewards.If there is a low point in the movie; it is the orgy itself. There is no nudity or eroticism and during the event. It looks like writers and/or director tried to moralize the situation, making it look like boring.Well, it is not true. I lived something similar many years ago; and is one of my fondest memories. It is also a sad one because it really was a farewell and a change in my life.Please enjoy this movie; it really deserve it.

This movie has very dry flat humor and is very boring and predictable. Just a view funny scenes, but really standard jokes. The movie is like dry white rice or like soup without the vegetables. My mate fell asleep during the movie!!! It's very slow in story line and has no character...you're constantly feeling like waiting for that "okay, now it's coming"-moment. But than the movie has ended leaving you with a strange unfulfilled feeling. The scenes of the orgy were exaggerated and so fake. Also very bad, unconvincing acting. I rate this movie a 4 out of 10 for the effort the producers have put in. But it's definitely not a blockbuster. Don't go to this movie, waste of money, time and energy.

I watched this film and I was just amazed how I liked it :) First of all - do not read any comments about movies that you are going to watch ANYMORE! Do not be judgmental based upon comments because seriously- a lot of things depends on your mood, taste and environment. Well, that's my story with this one :) I just didn't read any IMD reviews I just went and watched :))Surprisingly,it was really funny. Funny a lot and in really many ways :) I think there wouldn't be any person which wouldn't find in a movie a place not to laugh from :) And I think it's one of the best movies that I saw recently.Movie is made really simple, and actors are really god and I do not agree that they looked silly in the movie. If Sandler would perform -it would be cheap and really tasteless movie, but now... There are also places to think about, it's not just some kind of dumb, without moral movie, in my opinion it had really clear message and personally it gave me thoughts to think of what could I do in my life (and it's really not about orgy :D). So in my opinion the movie is based on funny moments because after all it's comedy, not some kind of drama or whatever where your brain must work, but there are some great serious thoughts in there.Next, I actually learned lesson not to judge about the movie from the title. Guys, which are looking for real orgies- there are sites for that and for criss sake - it's a comedy with bunch of good actors, so you think there are going to be a lot of hookers, nudity and etc? WAKE - UP. Seriously, I'm angry, because really- it's a great movie that contains everything what for comedy is essential.Thought it;s not a dumb comedy :)But, why 9 out 10? Because there were really scenes when they were too long... But hey, what kind of movie doesn't have it? So, I recommend to all my friends to watch and I believe you'll find it as a "not for nothing time spent movie" :)

OK, last night I needed a break. The day had been hard, I had zero energy, I didn't think I could watch an entire movie. That's why I picked "A good old fashion orgy". I thought, well if I fall asleep during this one, no big deal. But it was actually much funnier than I expected. The group of actors were quite refreshing with some faces we know (Lake Bell from How to make it in America, Jason Sudeikis from SNL).What most surprised me were the dialogues, I thought it was witty and well written, I laughed a lot. Also, it was not as obvious as I had expected so you actually want to know how the orgy is turning out. Unfortunately there was one scene too many where the main male characters go on an orgy observation mission that provides way too many visual details. Special mention to Rhys Coiro for his douche bag character, it was just awesome to see Billi Walsh again! So, if you're in the mood for an easy to watch, no brainer movie, A good old fashion Orgy will do the trick.
