AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
MartinHafer This movie stars Trey Parker and was co-written by him. So, I expected it to be crude and offensive (and it was). However, I also expected it to be really funny, as Parker's other projects ("South Park", "Cannibal the Musical", "BASEketball" and "Team America: World Police") are brilliant and hilarious. Sadly, the film mostly just succeeds in being very offensive--but not at all funny. It's a film filled with potentially funny situations but few punchlines or laughs.Parker stars as a Mormon missionary in Hollywood. He stumbles into the porno industry and soon becomes a sensation in adult films--though it never really made much sense why a committed Mormon would do this or why he was successful. Regardless, once in the industry, he only plans on being there a short time--but the evil man in charge isn't about to let him leave and resume his life in Utah. So, using an orgasm ray that his porn star friend, Ben, made, they wage a two-man war against evil. In many ways, the plot is reminiscent of Parker's play, "The Book of Mormon", that has taken Broadway by storm--though "Orgazmo" is light-years different when it comes to laughs.The film is filled with ample adult toys and sexual situations, though not nearly as much nudity as you might expect--though it is still no exactly 'family-friendly'. But where is the humor? You might laugh a bit at the crude situations and toys but soon they become a bit tiring and the film never really seems brilliant or inspired...just rather dumb. My advice is stick with Parker's other projects. Even for a raunchy comedy, this one is pretty bad.By the way, Parker's "South Park" partner, Matt Stone, has a small role as a mullet-wearing idiot. Unfortunately, he's mostly wasted and his character comes off as very broad and annoying. I guess you can't win 'em all.
lantern4444 The jokes were not funny and were few and far between. The physical comedy centered around the characters wearing sex toys for the whole movie. No longer funny after 10 seconds let alone for an hour. It has endless clothed simulated sex scenes with the only nudity being men's butts. I suppose it alright if you into that sort of nudity which I'm not. The movie tried to equate gross acts as being comedy such as overweight women and farting in peoples faces.The story line about am extremely devout Mormon being drawn into the adult film industry is to far fetched especially given that he is also a martial arts expert. The plot is extremely basic, good guy with friend defies bad boss who kidnaps girlfriend. Good guy and friend fight and win against bad boss and his henchmen thereby rescuing girlfriend. The use of sex toys as comedy is not funny and overdone such as the dildo lasso, dildo grapple and rope, dildo rocket launcher, dildo lock pick, dildo baton etc ad nauseum.The acting was extremely wooden and makes real adult movie actors look like academy award winners. The characters were extremely simplistic and one dimensional.Don't bother with this movie as their are many better sex comedies around such as Porky's, American pie and others.
Tolbert This one is now in my top 5 for dark comedies. The top two spots would have to be Kingpin and Dodgeball. It's difficult to even classify this as a "dark" comedy though as it really is in a class of it's own. I'm not really a South Park fan but Trey Parker is a funny guy. I literally just about fell over laughing at some of the scenes in this movie. There is some unbeatable material here. Chances are most hard-core Mormons won't like this one too well due to the jabs toward their religion. That said however, it's pretty tongue-and-cheek stuff.Orgazmo as a character, Choda Boy as a character, they play off of each other so well. The sequences with Ron Jeremy are pretty funny too. I recommend this one very highly, just put the kids to bed before you queue it up!
ilovepotnoodles When people think of Trey Parker & Matt Stone, they usually think of South Park, but this film is just as good in all aspects. after watching this film you will never forget the term 'stunt cock' or the phrase "Now, I don't want to sound like a queer or nothing..." this film may not be a box-office smash, but it as suitable for a Saturday night with some friends as Airplane. It was originally slated to be a musical, much like Parker's first work, Cannibal! The Musical but they felt that it wouldn't come across with audiences as well. There are a lot of good ties with other works but Parker & Stone, such as T-Rex's voice. (Which is so obviously dubbed by Parker)So all in all, this film is an underrated comedy another of their films, BASEketball and for any South Park fans, this is the perfect film for you because it has that recognisable wit and tongue-in-cheek offensiveness.
