A group of 30-year-olds who have been friends since high school attempt to throw an end-of-summer orgy.
Leave your thoughts about A Good Old Fashioned Orgy.
| Time OutJoshua RothkopfAll of this is way smarter than it needs to be - and it's only the prologue to the main event, which explodes the film into awkwardness but a weird kind of triumph, too. |
| TimeMary PolsSo a tip of the hat to A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, a frequently very funny movie about planning and executing exactly what the title describes. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeIs the world of the film ruled by its high concept, its low comedy, its demographic credibility, or its romantic screwball realism? Ultimately, Orgy's refusal to be any one thing - including good or bad - forms a kind of epochal statement. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonDespite the preposterous, kissing-your-sister premise of A Good Old-Fashioned Orgy, a very likable cast and some terrific sketch-style comedy should please (if not deeply satisfy the lustful yearnings of) audiences lured by the film's title. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIn essence, this is an indie Adam Sandler comedy, and when its heroes are psyching themselves up for the big event, it's kind of funny. But the orgy doesn't make you laugh - it makes you cringe. |
| Washington PostStephanie MerryThe cast is talented - the chemistry between characters is solid, comedic timing is impeccable and the actors seem to be having fun, which may prove contagious for audience members. |
| Salon.comMarc MohanThanks largely to its cast, however, it's transmuted into an utterly puerile 90 minutes that fit the brain-dead zeitgeist of Labor Day weekend in a snug and mostly pain-free manner. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThe jokes are hit-and-miss, but the cast is uniformly game, with Labine stealing the show. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenIt's all very sweet and lightly comedic. After it's over, you half expect a statement to appear on the screen promising, "No humans were traumatized during the making of this film." |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesBy accident or design, the resolution here is morally ambiguous and vaguely distasteful, which may be the reason I liked it. |
