Reviews
Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
pinki_0228 I like Parker Posey and yes, I loved watching this film. Somehow this reminded me what is really important in my life. This movie reminded me of my ex who I loved the most but had to break up because I was too young and my parents got highly involved in our relationship, simply they didn't like him at all. At that time I thought he was not the man because of my parents, which is a pity, but someday in the future if I will meet someone like him, I will never let the person leave me again. Life is all about seeking happiness and if someone can make me happy, nothing else comes first than that. Well anyways bottom line is, I highly recommend this movie to someone who got hurt so many times because of love relationships and still confused and suffering looking for the right person for them. Just watch this movie and if you have someone who rings your bell, go for it, he is the one you've been looking for. :-)
napierslogs I would have assumed that "The Oh! in Ohio" was trying to be the Judd Apatow sex comedies for females, but this was released in 2006 just before the Apatow craze began. So now I'm not sure what they were trying to go for.It's marketed as a comedy but it's more of a drama. The plot line is that Priscilla Chase (Parker Posey) and her husband (Paul Rudd) are in an unhappy marriage because she isn't able to climax. Along with "50 million other women who suffer from orgasmic dysfunction" as the film tells us.The film moves forward with Posey trying to have an orgasm. I'm assuming these scenes were supposed to provide us laughs but they weren't very funny. The other half of the movie is Rudd living his depressed life as a biology teacher. Finally the film industry has figured out that occasionally there are teachers for subjects other than English, but unfortunately it's in this movie just so we can have him spout the names of some sex organ muscles. Paul Rudd is one of my favourite actors, but the story for his character is extremely poorly done. The humour is so low-key, that I view it more as a drama, so there is no pay-off for his poor character. I might even have to blame this film for Rudd being relegated to buddy comedies now.There is a lot to not like in this film, but Posey does shine, and some of the "50 million women who suffer from orgasmic dysfunction" might enjoy "The Oh! in Ohio" but probably not many other people will.
fedor8 Almost any survey regarding female frigidity shows that in any given part of the world anywhere from 30 to 50% of all women never or very rarely reach orgasm. So what do women like that do? Well, they basically have only three options: they become rabid feminists, Catholic nuns, or they marry Tom Cruise.TOIO is a decent sex-romp, perhaps a bit too crude, but considering how bad comedies have been in the last decade, I am willing to overlook its faults. Certainly there is the utter predictability regarding Posey hooking up with and finally getting her first non-masturbatory orgasm with De Vito. (Posey should get a bravery medal for kissing with him.) The other problem is the casting of Minnelli and Mischa Barton; Minnelli, who fortunately appears only briefly, should only be playing monsters in low-budget horror films, what with the numerous face-lifts that have left her looking like an alien being. (The shrill voice doesn't help either: more like a siren.) As for Barton, I have no clue who finds this gangly, flat-chested, square-jawed woman "beautiful". She has the sex-appeal of Minnelli's buttocks. Someone like Elisha Cuthbert would have played the young femme fatale far more convincingly. The rest of the cast are okay. The standout is Posey who plays the initially uptight and slightly eccentric career women perfectly.(This comment is dedicated to Mischa Barton's last meal, which was in March of 2003. May it digest forever in her shrinking stomach...)
smpalmer722 I see why this movie went straight to video. Who in their right mind would choose Danny DeVito over Paul Rudd? Did the director see them without shirts? Anyway, this movie is a poor excuse of film making. It tries to be something it is not (mainly funny and aimed at adults). The ending comes out of nowhere and makes Paul Rudd's character seem like the antagonist when it is the wife who jacking up on her vibrator and sleeping with every guy who walks around. Also, is that the only thing this woman has going for her - an orgasm? And sticking a pager inside herself, why is that funny? It was a bad ripoff of Absolutely Fabulous. If this is what passes for adult comedies in Hollywood, no wonder Indie films are getting awards.
