Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
wgstatler Just saw this little nugget. I'm giving it a ten because it doesn't deserve its current rating. My true rating would be a seven - although for originality alone it deserves an 11. Orgies sports a cartoon feel throughout (even the blue book Baxter carries around) and is exceptionally odd. But I've never been one to think of odd as a bad thing, even when some of the pieces don't fit together in a particular way. In fact, odd makes me think more than would a surefire formula. And I therefore found myself engaging in this film. The animation is minimal which - for me - heightens the 'quest' theme. And at the end of the day, aren't we all on some sort of quest for meaning - no matter how bizarre or futile it may be. Amen.
eblss72 I believe the "hackneyed" term "the one" was included for precisely that reason. Part of the human condition, it seems, is to search for "the one," and the film pokes fun at this commonly shared journey quite cutely and uniquely. Although I do not know the director or his intent, and without giving too much away, it is my understanding that despite Baxter's relentless efforts to find "the one" externally, he unexpectedly (or perhaps unknowingly) finds it internally, which is "the meaning of life."Although I loved the symbolism and its conceptualized spiritual themes, I admit there were parts that did not connect as readily for me; however, this could easily have been my overlook rather than the director's. Regardless, this film made me think and it was fun to hypothesize about, which is why I really enjoyed it. I admire those who have the strength of character to share their creative vision(s) with the world, however it may be interpreted is always interesting but should not take away from their process, as it is all Goode.
Marcus Carnegie A offbeat, bizarre film themed with dark humor and sex which concerns a young man trying to sell his book of stick figure drawings. Enter his obsessions with finding a great 'sex'? partner through a bunch of real and perhaps "not real" sex romps. Since the title suggests a sexy or erotic film with lots of T & A and no doubt that is what these filmmakers actually tried to make.. it isn't. Many "clothed" sex scenes, no real flesh on display and typical, repetitive blanket covered eroticism. Very reserved American style here folks. There are many supposed erotic scenes but it's as if they were all filmed for a PG-13 audience.Typical of the American filmmaker who tries as he may to make a sexy movie but just kinda, can't. They are often just a tad afraid to show what they really want to and that really comes off in this film quite strongly. As one reviewer points out, it's one film trying to be another. tisk- tisk. I've always thought that American filmmakers who wish to make a sexy film should first consult some European, Japanese or Latin cinema first. At least they can get it done.
groggo This was a pretty flimsy film that tried for artsy and ended up as an excursion in confusion. It tries to be 'profound' and 'existential,' yet it is never for a moment convincing.If you read the IMDb summary for this film, you'd think you were in for something really special, a once-in-a-lifetime examination of a young man's travail. The problem is, the gushing summary was submitted, word-for-word, through the film's website.IMDb has to clean up its act. This flagrant 'puff-piece' by the film's principals and promoters should never have appeared on IMDb as an 'objective' summary of the film itself.Basically, the story concerns a young man's desire to have his book published. It's a book about stick figures trying to find meaning that transcends orgies with real and imaginary women. The young man searches for 'The One,' which is shorthand for what mere mortals used to call 'a true love'. In this film, 'The One,' a hackneyed term at the best of times, becomes an over-inflated motif for bargain-basement philosophy. The film is little more than an examination of a man's angst in trying to find himself. Despite IMDb's unctuous, self-serving summary, there's nothing new here at all. This is not an existential film. It's just another 'coming of age' flick that haughtily pretends it's something else. I've said it before: IMDb very often cannot be trusted as a reliable source for film summaries and even criticism. Many of the people who give outrageously high ratings on the IMDb board are those who made the film and their myriad friends. At best, it's spectacularly misleading.
