REVIEW:

This film is called A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, so can we really expect much from it? That being said, this was horrible!

First off, if you’ve seen the American Pie movies, specifically American Pie 2, then you get the idea of what is going on here in some sense. The only difference really, is that instead of a group fresh off their first year in college, they are in their mid 30s or so.

Second, one would imagine we’d see a lot more skin and sex, but that just didn’t happen. I won’t say I was disappointed, but I did sort of expect it.

Lastly, this story was horrible. As I aid, it was basically just an older version of American Pie 2, with some changes here and there to make it more “adult”.

These characters have no redeeming qualities and the actors playing them aren’t exactly known for being American’s sweethearts. The worst culprit had to have been Lake Bell. Her character was some sort of psychiatrist and was just plain annoying throughout 90% of the film.

If there was a bright spot, it had to have been the fresh faces Leslie Bibb and the seemingly innocent Lindsay Sloane, whose character brought to mind her days on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

I think it goes without saying that I am not a fan of this film and feel that I wasted 90 minutes or so of my life watching this tonight. No, I do not recommend this film to anyone, not even my worst enemy. It just isn’t worth it. Yes, there are some funny moments, but they don’t make up for the utter horridness of this picture as a whole. Avoid it at all costs!!!

2 out of 5 stars
