A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011) User Reviews (45)

Fun, if you keep your expectations low

[themoviecouch · 5/10 · 23 June 2012]

Everyone knows that folks in the '60's and '70's did some serious swinging, and from what you hear about young people today, you get the impression that they only stop slurping each other's privates when they take a break to send each other naked pictures on their cell phones. So what happened to people like me, who came of age in the '80's and '90's? AIDS, that's what. We grew up hearing that sex was a scary, dangerous thing that could kill you. It didn't completely stop us from having sex, but it probably did cut down on the debauchery. "A Good, Old-Fashioned Orgy" is the story of a group of 30-somethings who set out to remedy that.

Eric (Jason Sudeikis) and his group of high-school friends, which consists of several cute chicks and an assortment of dorky guys, have grown up partying at Eric's dad's beach house. When his dad puts the house up for sale, the friends see the end of not only their epic parties, but of the free, irresponsible chapter of their lives. (Which, given that they are about 30, they have stretched out pretty far, anyway.) Eric convinces the group to see the beach house off with one, last epic soire, a good, old-fashioned orgy between friends.

You see the title of this film, and you figure it will be a fun sex-romp, and eventually it is, but they do take their time getting there. This is a story about 30-year-olds belatedly coming of age, so first they have to set up the many characters and their first-world issues. This is less a story about an orgy, and more a story about people realizing that they can only stretch their adolescence out so far, and I wish the film had either done a better job exploring that theme or just focused on the sex. In any event, it's a moderate amount of fun. Sudeikis plays a funny, charming ladies' man, and Tyler Labine is pretty good as his fat, crude sidekick. There's one really funny scene that makes the whole film, where the guys do some research in an underground sex club. Basically, much of the movie is a less good- looking, less funny version of "The Hangover." Also, in keeping with the modern trend, there are more naked, male buttocks on screen than naked, female breasts, and my wife points out that the male buttocks aren't all that great. "A Good, Old-Fashioned Orgy" is fairly fun and funny, but if you are looking for soft-porn you will do better with "A Game of Thrones."

2.5 stars out of 5

A great comedy for an adult audience...

[paul_haakonsen · 7/10 · 17 January 2012]

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".

More subtle than expected

[LynxLy · 7/10 · 18 January 2012]

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.

Jason Sudekis and friends have "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy"

[Jackpollins · 26 August 2011]

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy stars Jason Sudekis as Eric, a 30-something loser who's never quite grown up. Him and his buddies, including Duquez (Martin Starr), Adam (Nick Kroll), McCudden (Tyler Labine), Willow (Angela Sarafyan) and Alison (Lake Bell) among others find out that Eric's dad is selling the beach house in which all of their ludicrous parties take place. When Eric figures this out, he wants to throw a final labor day bash, a party so ridiculous that it will make all their other parties look mellow. So Eric and McCudden decide to have an orgy with them and their closest friends. This plot is about as raunchy of a plot as you can get, and I am glad to be sitting here telling you that A Good Old Fashioned Orgy delivers on this premise. With so many comedies this year like Bad Teacher and Hall Pass really holding back the raunchiness and trying to play it safe, it's refreshing to see a film that just goes for it. This film isn't as raunchy as some might expect from its title, but it's pretty damn raunchy, as well as daring, funny, likable, and even a bit touching. Everyone in the cast, from Sudekis to Starr to Bell to Sarafyan to Labine is hilarious, and there's not a bad character in the film. Will Forte and Lucy Punch play newlyweds with a kid who the group decides not to invite to the orgy, and they're great as well. Now, while this film is probably the funniest film of the year so far, it's pretty predictable. That's my only VERY minor complaint with the film. Overall, if you like any of these cast members and you like your comedies raunchy and daring, then go check out A Good Old Fashioned Orgy.

Why don't more people have them, watch and find out.

[Kamurai25 · 7/10 · 30 March 2020]

Good watch, will likely watch again, and can recommend.

While I think you should go into this with a somewhat open mind, I think you are if you're ready the review.

There are honestly few truly kinky scenes and they're done on purpose with somewhat of a point. The whole thing ends up being a relatively healthy discussion about relationships and mechanics of increased intimacy in them.

It's also pretty funny: this is a perfect cast of actors to play off of each other, and there too many for me to want to list off.

A good old no-brainer

[johanna-oudiz · 6/10 · 7 January 2012]

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.

A Good Comedy with a Great Cast

[dimarinc · 7/10 · 10 February 2012]

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.

Funny from the start

[bb12217 · 7/10 · 6 August 2021]

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.

Really DUMB movie!!

[chilly_aquarius · 4/10 · 23 February 2012]

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.

"Look at me, not her. LOOK AT ME."

[drewnes · 6/10 · 30 May 2021]

This movie is not near as bad as everyone says it is. The cast all have their funny moments and it made me wish I could just take the summer off from work to party. How did they all have the whole summer off?? Also Will Forte will never not be funny!

Waste of time (possible spoilers)

[phoenix_risen · 2/10 · 27 January 2013]

Given the talent that signed on to do this film, one would expect a really funny and memorable ride. Unfortunately, that is not what we got.

The story follows a group of well-off 30-something's and their first-world problems which culminate in the form of losing their party spot, a summer home in an upscale New England area owned by Jason Sudeikis' father, for which they pay nothing for. After some initial complaints about the unfairness of the situation, they plot to hold off the realtor until they can have their final Labor Day party which is, as the title suggests, an orgy.

None of the characters are ever really fleshed out (no pun intended). They're an eclectic mix of boring people with largely unrelatable issues. Jason Sudeikis essentially plays every other character he has ever played, but it doesn't work here because of the overall mood, the complete lack of actual conflict, and slow, grinding pace of the movie.

Unfairness is not losing your free party spot. Unfairness is having to watch Tyler Labine in this movie while Reaper, a show where he actually dominated and meshed perfectly with his cast, got canceled.

In the end, every possible personal issue every character even remotely hinted at is sorted out and all the actors cheer wildly and hug each other. Audiences are supposed to connect to this emotionally and feel happy, but it ended up being extremely uncomfortable and left me cringing. The actors should all get Oscars for having to shoot those scenes and appear genuine.

In the end, this movie is an hour and a half that I will never get back.

Funniest (and most surprising) movie of the year

[bgreddly · 10/10 · 22 September 2011]

Reading the reviews for this film, which range from very positive to strongly negative, I was intrigued to see what the disagreement was all about. After seeing it (and it wasn't easy, as it was a bit of a drive to the nearest theater showing it), I totally understand what it was that divided the critics.

For the haters, it seems they assumed a movie with the word 'orgy' in the title (for some reason they ignored the 'good old-fashioned' which made it clearly intentionally silly) would have to be a dumb, sex-filled romp. When it turned out to be a really smart and sweet exploration of friendship through the device of group sex, with minimal raunch, there seems to have been confusion and even anger.

For those who didn't find the movie funny, I have no idea what movie they saw. The screening I went to was packed with laughs, but the movie actually goes a lot further than just hitting the comedy (which it does brilliantly). It's a generational movie about adults who grew up in the shadow of AIDS, ergo a sex comedy about people who are afraid of sex. The more we get to know the group of friends, the more we care about them and their journeys, in addition to the comedy of a group of neurotic New Yorkers trying to pull together a night of reckless sexual abandon. It works on multiple levels and is far smarter than you might expect it to be (which is what a lot of the positive reviews have pointed out).

I'd compare this movie more to The Big Chill than one of the American Pies, and the cast is one of the strongest ensemble comedy casts to come along since Dazed and Confused. It's a movie people are going to be watching and talking about for years to come, so check it out now while it's still in theaters because seeing it with an audience really adds to the experience.

Stupid but funny

[craigman1211 · 7/10 · 19 December 2011]

This movie is not for the serious minded, and as the title suggests, not something you would see with your grandmother. The premise is ridiculous, but its actually more original than one of those national lampoons movies. Its stupid funny, and some of the well placed jokes actually made me laugh out loud. I would say this is a movie to see if you its something you see on Netflix or HBO, although I don't think I would buy it, and renting would be only if there is nothing else to see. If you are into those Eurotrip kind of movies, this will be right up your ally, and actually seems to be made for an older crowd which is a nice change of pace.

Give the fact that it seemed to achieve exactly what it wanted and that it didn't have horrible or distracting acting, I would give this movie a solid 7. Its not the best movie I have ever seen, and I doubt I will recommend it, but I don't feel like it wasn't worth my time to watch and at several points it is actually very funny.

What do you call an R-rated film that should be rated PG-13?

[Kalamata · 5/10 · 2 July 2012]

So, why am I giving only 5 out of 10 to A Good Old-Fashioned Orgy? For that, I have an answer: they screwed it up. That is to say the producers and the director screwed it up.

First of all, there are a lot of funny people in this movie, and there are some great throw-away lines that just melt off the dialogue spool until the simile runs out of its metaphorical fishing pole. And even though we have the same setup here that a lot of successful - if not great - R-rated comedies do (Hot Tub Time Machine comes instantly to mind: not that great a film, but good enough to remember instantly when talking about another comedy which is less successful), we do not have a really successful (i.e., it makes people laugh) movie.

Something happened on the way to an R-rating for a basically PG-13 film. I can't pretend to know what happened, how it happened, or why, but it happened. And what you get is a very tame "orgy" that could have almost been on Lifetime save for one short boob shot from the lovely Angela Sarafyan. One. I can't remember a single other boob shot in the movie though there may have been one or two.

So, clearly, other than language, we have a PG-13 movie. So why not clean up the language and just go for PG-13 which would, ostensibly, make more money because it opens up the movie to that magic demographic of 13-18 year-olds who, well, buy everything?

Did Reed Hastings - the smooth-mover who built then destroyed Netflix - produce this movie? Aaaaarrrrgh….no, he did not. Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory did, and they are two really funny dudes who have produced some of TV's best series including the Larry Sanders Show, King Of The Hill, and Frasier. Did Reed Hastings direct AGOFO? He did not. The same producing duo directed the film as well. In other words the fault lies with them (yes, the company that financed the venture might have been pressuring them, but I don't know that for sure).

And I'm left with the same conundrum: Here is a very lightweight R movie that would have fared better if it had done one of two things: 1. Gone for the R and made it a lot more naked, or 2. Cleaned up what little there is and get the coveted PG-13. What's there is just not strong enough for either. But lest you think I am hung up on a ratings thing, let me say that the storyline failed to punch up the jeopardy (whoa! Dad's going to sell the house, how can we stop that from happening? And then maybe written in three hilarious attempts to do that – all of which fail. And THEN plan the naked orgy party of ALL TIME! And then, for God's sake Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory, DELIVER THE GOODS! Make it happen, Guys, because what you've done is left a fish gasping on the dock and in grave danger of not working at all as a metaphor for the film's failure! Now that's jeopardy.

But we never feel that we have an all or nothing situation happening here. Nothing that happens HAS to happen. And when they do have their orgy, the camera suddenly goes all coy on us. Some lovely people in the film who look good all over never even get down to bikinis, well maybe at the end, but nothing whatever sexy ever happens. And sexy is what the word ORGY promises! ORGY=SEXY. Simple lexical algebra. It's false advertising. And people break orgy rules like the guy whose girl does actually flash the only set of tots in the movie goes berserk and insists that she not be in the orgy after all. Wha…? And it's downhill from there. Which is a pity because there was a lot of humor knitted up in that mix and if they'd only have spilled a little nudity…not metaphorically…onto the screen they might have ignited a minor hit. At least a 7-star hit from me.

Surprisingly funny

[itamarscomix · 7/10 · 29 July 2012]

Considering the premise and title of A Good Old Fashioned Orgy it has all the potential of being a low-brow, gross-out comedy, but that turns out to take up a very small portion of it. Thanks to a solid cast and a good script, it's actually a surprisingly mellow and heartfelt comedy about companionship and about getting older, and it's a great movie for people who grew up in the 80's and early 90's and enjoyed teen comedies from The Breakfast Club onwards. It's definitely much spicier than those movies - if sexual humor or nudity offend you, you should probably stay away. But it's not explicit, offensive or tasteless and the sex itself is portrayed surprisingly realistically. More than anything else, the characters make the movie work - they're rooted in stereotypes, but they're complex and realistic enough to not come across as cheap caricatures or unsympathetic jerks, and they're easy to relate to and get invested in, which makes the movie not just a funny comedy but also a rather sweet feel-good movie about friendship.

Like a really bad porno, without the porn

[dioditto · 3/10 · 18 December 2011]

I have to say, just after watching several Tinto Brass and Russ Meyer's movies, this movie by comparison is like a really bad porno, without the porn (some tits and arse shot but that's about it). The direction is REALLY bland, the storyline is simplistic at best, absolutely not much plot development and is as linear and simplistic as it gets, the acting is passable, and it 'tries' to be a comedy but it didn't make me laugh once. It certainly didn't arouse me with its naughty content. So it doesn't fit in either comedy or softcore porn category. And I have seen low budget hardcore porn funnier than this stuff which says a lot about how unfunny and boring this movie is. 3/10 for me. Get it only if all you want to see are Angela Sarafyan and Michelle Borth's bare naked titties.

An Anticlimactic Orgy

[thesar-2 · 1/10 · 3 September 2011]

The funniest thing that happened during A Good Old Fashioned Orgy actually took place before the movie began. When I was buying my (uh) solo ticket to the Orgy, the elderly box office lady couldn't hear me say the title and asked me to repeat it…three times. On the third time, I said "I want to see the Orgy!"

Yes, I did say that and yes, there were people behind me. Thankfully, I gave them and myself the best (ONLY) laugh I would have for the next hour and a half.

To be fair, I did laugh at that hour and half conclusion: as I couldn't wait to leave the theatre I got up quickly but as the credits rolled, they indicated "funny" finale credit scenes. There were two: the first was lame and the second seemed to take forever to show up. I actually laughed because I stood there to see if they would put something funny up on the screen finally. Alas, the second of two end-credit scenes was just as hideous as the entire movie.

And to think, this movie was in limited release which usually means it's so good, they want to slow-roll it out and get good word of mouth out. Ha, well scratch that idea of happening. Perhaps it was suuuch a taboo title? Take that idea off the table as well – I'll explain more, but this has as much orgy action as a Kirk Cameron movie. Ah, yes, it's just because it's such a terrible movie, they might as well make a few extra bucks the unsold DVDs will net. (And that's really where this movie belongs in the first place, if not just cancelled all together.

Whew…a little bit of ranting there. You would too, if you were promised both comedy and an orgy and got a LAZY script, BORING set ups, DECADES-old scenes and a bunch of actually extremely talented actors who should know better but signed up for another paycheck. The tagline should've been: "If You Saw Grown Ups…Save Your Money This Time!"

The story centers around, I'm guessing, growing older and trying to hold onto the past. Sound familiar? How this didn't star Adam Sandler and/or Will Ferrell is beyond me – yes, they would do a project like this; they're sell-outs too. So, when the house that holds ring-leader Eric's (Jason Sudeikis) parties is being sold, Eric wants a one-final-blowout and finally comes up with an orgy amongst friends.

The writer/director duo, Adam Gregory and Peter Huyck only ask that you be patient, because the characters will be simply talking about this pending orgy for another hour or so (in a 1½ hour film.) There's so little nudity or sex (in a nudity and sex film) that Adam and Peter throw in a sex-club scene that throws the should-be PG-13 film into R-Rating status.

Finally, the orgy arrives. And it's so tame; it's like buying a Playboy and you really just read the articles. Only Tyler Labine seems to want to get naked – that's a plus for people like me, but for the general public, they'd probably rather see someone else, I dunno, like the girls – this is targeted to horny guys that usually leave their brains at the door for this type of sex-comedy.

To be fair, there are a few (VERY FEW) breast shots. But nothing you can't Google on your android phone when you're bored when the towel-wearing gang carries on during the "orgy."

My guess on why the film's "Big Finale" was so toned down is that they either had little faith in the pointless and humorless script or they were too afraid to offend. Either way, they squandered such potential in the actors and chance to push the buttons even Adam Sandler, Kevin James and/or Will Ferrell actually haven't yet.

I'd say to skip this trash, but it's very unlikely you'll catch it with both the minimal amount of advertising and theatres running it.

Don't listen to the haters

[solotaroff · 10/10 · 4 September 2011]

People are really split on this movie. The haters are all either people who are offended by the idea of group sex, annoyed there wasn't more T&A, or (strangely) both. They seem to forget that this is a comedy, and a comedy should be rated by one thing only: how funny it is. This was really really funny.

I don't know how a movie like Hall Pass which had at most 5 laugh out loud lines could do better than Orgy which had at least 50. Just goes to show that movie success is based more on marketing than anything else.

The one criticism I have is it suffers a little Ferris Beuller-itis. Am I really supposed to root for this spoiled white rich kid? Once the movie gets going though you quickly forget this and just hold on for the "ride."

Oddballs

[bob_bear · 5/10 · 30 September 2012]

I neither loved nor hated this movie. It was mildly entertaining. Not many laughs. Good cast and production values hampered by a light-weight if not plain silly script.

The basic premise -- that a group of longtime girl/guy friends would arrange an intimate orgy between themselves -- was not only inconceivable to me, I actually found the idea distasteful. Who would do that? Who? And would you want to spend 90 minutes in their company if they did?

Well, apparently this affluent, and not very attractive bunch of 30-going-on-40-something New Yorkers think of it as an extension of their friendship (?!) and if the characters were less engaging -- the bromance between the leads works well, for example -- or I had, had something better to watch -- then I probably would have switched off. As it is, I stayed till the end.

I just can't imagine who thought this was a good idea. Yes, I was expecting a sex-comedy about an orgy that goes wrong but not one between friends. If one considers their close friends as family, its a pretty gruesome concept IMHO.

That the orgy eventually does go ahead is the most bizarre aspect. Not to mention the morning after when everyone is completely chilled about what took place. It's all bonkers and unconvincing but just a film at the end of the day...

Not Good

[theoxys · 3/10 · 20 October 2012]

The film is quite funny. But the story in this film is not that great. Sue Plummer (Michelle Borth) have feelings and love for Jason Sudeikis (Eric Keppler), and they have sex. But why Sue Plummer (Michelle Borth) have sex again with Tyler Labine (Mike McCrudden) if Sue Plummer (Michelle Borth) has feelings for Jason Sudeikis (Eric Keppler). And Jason Sudeikis (Eric Keppler) having sex with Lake Bell (Alison Lobel). But Sue Plummer (Michelle Borth) has no jealousy.So Sex for funny? So if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend do a orgy sex, and having sex with their respective girlfriend/boyfriend having sex again with someone else, it is something stupid. Close friends do orgy sex with each other? it sounds so crazy and not good. So this movie is not worth it in for example

If the story in this film, Sue Plummer (Michelle Borth) and Jason Sudeikis (Eric Keppler) like each other and have sex. And do not have sex again with her ​​other friends, the film is good.

a friend is a friend, So you can not having sex with your friends.unless you love each other. You can making love only with your girlfriend/boyfriend. But not like in this film story. you can do a sex orgy, but only if done with your boyfriend/girlfriend. and not having sex with someone else after having sex with your girlfriend/boyfriend at a orgy sex Thats my opinions

Lame excuse for a comedy movie: unfunny ,boring ,and really stupid

[Zaphod2000 · 1/10 · 14 October 2012]

Well ,it was extremely hard to watch a movie like Good Old Fashioned Orgy...I just had to stop watching because it was just unbearable and stupid -a really lame excuse for a comedy movie.

It's another one of those sex comedy movies without any plot nor any story at all--in fact the worst part of it is that it's simply not funny in every possible way ,not mentioning how vulgar and stupid it is -and it's also pretty boring and endless too.

The whole thing doesen't even have a story at all--I mean ,a group of 30 year olds who have been friends since high school attempt to throw an end-of-summer orgy....that's got to be the most ridiculous pile of crap I've ever heard and seen in my life...it's just uninspired and the whole thing is stuck already ,like nothing happens from the beginning to the end of it.

Worse ,the humor is very vulgar and illogic in every way--and besides ,the cast was terrible and the direction was even worse...who was in charge of this crap anyway?...the fact that such movie was even produced is just awful.

In conclusion: awful beyond words ,unfunny pure garbage ,total rot ,crapfest ,snorefest ,avoid at all costs.

You'll split yourself!!

[gibo2000 · 8/10 · 13 December 2011]

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!!

Watching this movie was like watching a party go down that I want no part in

[KineticSeoul · 4/10 · 11 October 2014]

I just don't get how people can actually find this movie to be funny. I just found it gross all around. Sure it's raunchy, but just because a movie is raunchy doesn't make it good. I was bored with this movie. Watching this movie was like watching grown ass men act like immature teenagers, except it isn't funny at all. Sure the dialogues are crude, but it just came off more disgusting than it actually being funny. So yeah, this movie is crude and raunchy, that basically sums up this movie. The plot is basically about a frat guy that just want to keep on partying and thinks about taking it to another level by having a orgy party. I wasn't amused and this whole thing became a rubbish experience. Watching this movie was like watching a party go down, that I just did not want to be a part of...At all.

4.6/10

some minor laughs

[SnoopyStyle · 5/10 · 20 October 2015]

Eric Keppler (Jason Sudeikis) and his friends from high school days continue to have outrageous parties at his family vacation home in the Hamptons. He is shocked when his father (Don Johnson) decides to sell the house. His slacker friend Mike (Tyler Labine) suggests getting everyone to have a Labor Day Orgy. Sue (Michelle Borth) has a secret crush on Eric. Adam (Nick Kroll) is a workaholic. Laura (Lindsay Sloane) has no confidence. Doug (Martin Starr) wishes to be a rocker instead of his regular life and has girlfriend Willow (Angela Sarafyan). Alison (Lake Bell) is a psychologist with a douchy boyfriend. Kate (Lucy Punch) and Glenn (Will Forte) are newlyweds and nobody wants them to join in the orgy. Eric falls for Kelly (Leslie Bibb), the real estate agent selling the house.

I love almost every actor in this movie. I didn't really find much of it all that funny with the exception of the Punch-Forte pairing. At first, I couldn't figure out if they're actually playing twenty somethings. They act so childishly that it does take a good while before I got comfortable with them as older slackers with jobs. It's a functional comedy and then they get to the orgy.

When the group gets into an argument, I was hoping that it gets interesting. It could have dived into their relationship dysfunctions. Instead, they dive into the orgy. It has some minor laughs at the expense of better exploration of their friendships. Overall, this is not terribly funny and despite the orgy, this is not terribly edgy either.

utter tripe

I watched this garbage for a while to see and hear michelle borth ... unfortunately for the writers they didn't use her talents at all ... on the other hand they wasted way too much effort on jason sudeikis who was a complete putz and flopped from the first words out of his mouth and apparently the writers have no idea about an orgy ... the women didn't act childish like the guys.
