Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

My fella spotted the title so I switched it on. from the title I thought is was either gonna be a soft porn poor attempt at titillating housewives or complete garbage. How wrong can a girl be. from the embarrassment of late teens through some clever humour demonstrating the innocence presumptions of people who come to recognise their own shortcomings. The displacement of emotional issues combined with some heartless attempts at realising some very real desires. Mingled together this film allows a couple of hours of pleasant viewing and well worth a watch.

Foremost: there are no orgies in How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town. Well, there are a few failed attempts, but they tend to be more tragicomic than sensual. And, after all, that's the point of the movie. Instead of making a vulgar comedy (something which would have surely been more lucrative), director and screenwriter Jeremy LaLonde made an analysis on the sexual politics of an idyllic Canadian community, simultaneously more repressed and perverse than what many people would suppose. Sure, it isn't a newfangled idea... the turbulent secrets under the placid surface of a small town are a recurrent theme in cinema from its origins themselves (some of my favorite examples: Blue Velvet, The Wicker Man -1973-, Village of the Damned -1960-); and even though How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town isn't particularly "erotic", I found it moderately interesting... but not very satisfactory. The main pro of this film is the competent performances from the whole cast, highlighting Jewel Staite, Katharine Isabelle and Kristian Bruun. As for the result of the failed orgies, it's quite predictable: love for some ones, repaired (or destroyed) relationship for other ones and emotional catharsis to those who were hiding some painful sexual secret. In other words, it might have the title of a sexual comedy, but the truth is that How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town ends up preaching the same monogamous fantasies of conventional romantic cinema. In conclusion, this movie is much more innocuous than it seems, but I have to say it never bored me. I just wish the screenplay was funnier, or genuinely subversive, instead of staying into a lukewarm niche which doesn't want to offend anyone... except the ones who were expecting the attractive actresses to show up naked.

How To Plan An Orgy in A Small Town is hilarious. I saw this film in a theater in Toronto and the whole theater rocked with laughter. The cast was great and I once again marveled that Jeremy LaLonde can take a large group of talented actors and have them mesh so well. The movie tells the story of small town hypocritical prudishness but with humor. This is an adult film but it does not show too much or become vulgar. The movie is risqué and very funny. I do recommend seeing it on the big screen if you can, but by all means see it wherever you can! The movie is available on Demand, Amazon & Itunes as well as some theaters in the US and Canada. I thoroughly enjoyed the film from beginning to end. Don't take my word for it, go see it! :)

Don*t expect too much: the trailer let you expect a funny, clever story with good actors and some tasty erotic. The story is good, but presented uninspired, many gags are lame and flat and finally, the graphic could easily be described as prude. OK, right: a movie with a story like that does with the right skills not need nudity at all. But with a scene the male actor clawing into the breast of the him riding woman to avoid nudity the film becomes hypocrite and lame ! The most explicit scene is a young, half naked no name actress, the rest is uptight avoidance. If they would play everything fully clothed, it would at least be art. Grow up, America !
