I love this movie so much
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Haven't we had enough of this format already? Four guys and Four girls, who like to party, decide to do something wild and crazy one night. There's the leader and the shy one, and of course the weird one and the funny one. This set-up has been beaten to death! If you've seen Super Bad, The Hangover, Take Me Home Tonight, or any number of copycats, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Granted, the idea here is a little more original than most and the movie does do what it was intended to do, make you laugh. The faces are different, the situation is different, but everything else is exactly the same, there's nothing original here. Jason Sudeikis and Lake Bell do a great job of making us laugh, but again it's just your basic drunken idiots out to do something special, with all the pitfalls, and weird stuff that happens in-between. It was funny and a great way to kill a couple hours, but I got an extreme sensation of deja vu throughout this film. Overall, A Good Old Fashioned Orgy is good for some cheap laughs, but it's honestly nothing you haven't seen before.
this was way better than the 6.1 rating given on this page. i had to rewind many times to see parts missed while i was laughing. deserves a better rating...maybe not a 10, but at least a 9. why is it funny movies rarely get good ratings? the acting was good. the story line was good. the banter back and forth was good. the relationships between the characters are genuinely felt. i feel this is better than hangover, which people raved about... but i never heard a word about this movie. too bad. if you don't rent it, you are missing out. some of the lines are a little corny, i will admit, but as in most comedies, you will have that. all in all, i feel this movie was well worth the rental cost.
Don't you really miss when comedy did not imply using an stupid character (or making every character stupid through the use of alcohol or drugs) ? Don't you miss when comedies were really written with a real story and character development behind ?.Don't you miss when actors making you laugh without overacting or creating absurd and forced situations ? Well if you are the kind of person that consider THE HANGOVER or HAROLD AND KUMAR Christmas as sophisticated (or perhaps funny ) comedies then do not bother reading the rest (however the fact that you can read is a good thing; means there is still hope and your brain is still somewhat working).A GOOD OLD FASHIONED ORGY is about growing and even worse cutting ties with our gone youth. When two friends within a group, decide to organize an orgy as a farewell to their previous superficial and empty life style; things get really strange and every one of them expose very valid reasons for refusing or accepting the proposal.Events that follow, are credible and natural; because every character is perfectly but briefly developed (in order to maintain the pace).Things get not always funny; as it is in real life; but by the end, taking risk always has its rewards.If there is a low point in the movie; it is the orgy itself. There is no nudity or eroticism and during the event. It looks like writers and/or director tried to moralize the situation, making it look like boring.Well, it is not true. I lived something similar many years ago; and is one of my fondest memories. It is also a sad one because it really was a farewell and a change in my life.Please enjoy this movie; it really deserve it.
Alright, well "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" is basically all that you would want from a teen comedy, except that it has been spiced up and has a more mature content. Same recipe as a teen comedy, except it is meant for an adult audience. And it worked out so well. Especially because "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" was more than just your average comedy. It is also a heartfelt movie about friendships and accepting one another for your unique personalities and coming to terms with yourself and life.I was genuinely surprised by the depth of this movie, because I had initially just thought it to be yet another comedy that comes out of Hollywood by the dozens every month. And I am glad that I did sit down to watch it, because it really was a great movie.And what made this movie so great, aside from the nice story, was of course the cast. They had really put together some nice actors and actresses for this movie, and the on-screen chemistry between then was working so well. The one who carried the movie, in my opinion, was Tyler Labine (playing Mike), he was hilarious and also had the most outrageous character. However, each and every one in the movie really did good jobs with their characters and in portraying them.If you like comedies that have a more solid foundation and story to it, you definitely want to check out "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy".
