A Good Old Fashioned Orgy


I didn't even hear of this movie until I saw it posted on Google's showtimes for Chicago theaters. After that, I started seeing commercials on Spike TV. Then it was almost gone. I went on the last day it was playing in the city. There were two other people in the theater at 5pm with me (well not with me, I went alone).

A cast of comedic actors with an outlandish plot. A guy who's dad owns but never uses his house in the Hamptons. So they party every summer all summer. That's basically it. Dad decides to sell so the son (Sudekis) decides the last party will be an orgy (hence the bad title).

Pretty uneven, but still funny. Will Forte has the funniest part, as the guy who has a kid and just got married, so he feels left out of the group. There is a weird set up where you're not sure who the love interest is, splitting its time between two girls.

Did you enjoy it?
Yes. I'm glad I went. Even though I felt creepy buying a ticket to "Orgy".

Would you see it in theaters again?
Won't be in theaters again, unless it becomes a cult hit. Still, no.

Would you buy it?
Nah.

Would you rent it?
Maybe. Alternate takes and cut bits would be worth the rental.

Would you watch it if you saw it was on TV?
Pralle.
