Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Great Film overall
Absolutely the worst movie.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, it was very cleverly written and quite witty. It followed what I thought was an in depth story but that was light, funny and feel good. I thought the writing had a very unique Canadian feel to it and I loved that. This movie showcased the wonderful talent we have in Canada. Would highly recommend this movie!
This movie is just not funny. I am not sure what else to say since I don't think this movie has anything else going for it at all either. I was very disappointed.The two main actresses in this are actually very good in most other things I have seen them in. The main reason we watched this were because these actresses were in it but the movie was just awful. I don't know if they just turned in an unusually bad performance or if they were just coasting or in it for a quick pay check, or if they just had nothing to work with as far as a script and director went, or some combination of these things? But it was just a very bad, boring, unfunny movie. Also very unoriginal and predictable, and most of the other actors were just plain bad. Highly recommend skipping it.
It took me two attempts to get through this movie, and the only reason I did is that I'm the type of person who absolutely insists on watching an entire movie unless it is completely unwatchable. I fell asleep on the first attempt, and got through the second time though it wasn't any better. I was wide awake on both attempts.This movie is not that horrid, but it is quite boring with a predictable and unfunny script. The acting is not great but I've seen the stars of this (the two main female leads) in other movies where they were fantastic, so I think the real problem here is that they didn't have much to work with (again, the script).It just seems like a lazy, boring movie, where they probably got funding from a studio based entirely on walking in and saying "hey we can get these two sexy women to be in a movie that's about an orgy" and then they coasted on that.It's not at all funny and even less sexy.
A trauma of adolescence, combined with a cold parental reaction, help shape the main character Cassie in a story about shaking the past and being fearless (within reason) about the future.If you had told me that I would like a movie that has at its core the theme of "_____-shaming" I would have laughed that off. Or a movie in which the usual character arc might befall a "homophobic" supporting character. But the movie carries the viewer along and up to the titular premise with a plausible and likable series of events led by a solid and charming cast. Canadian fans will spot a pair of actors known for The Listener. Firefly/Serenity fans will be pleased to see Jewel Staite as the lead in what is essentially both a rom-com and social satire. From the opening chords of music, there is a firm grasp of nostalgia and a gravitas given to situations from the backstory that could have been mishandled but instead give a sense of emotional stakes and a rooting interest. In a culture of obligatory affirmation, it is an accomplishment that this movie manages to stay funny and full of heart and show some empathy for the weirdo outcast nerd along the way. Definitely worth checking out. Some people might be intimidated by the word Orgy in the title. The full title suggests that there is more going on and the potential absurdity of reality versus expectations have been richly mined in this movie.
