Directed by Alex Gregory, Peter Huyck. Starring Jason Sudeikis, Tyler Labine, Leslie Bibb.

Irreverent, vulgar and farcical but still funny, relevant and almost cultish, A Good Old Fashioned Orgy is a satisfying comedy.

Apparently vulgar sex comedies have made more money in the US than superhero films have. So it’s no wonder then that successful TV writers Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck thought of writing and directing this one.

Eric (Jason Sudeikis) and his friends (played by Tyler Labine, Angela Sarafyan, Michelle Borth, Martin Starr, Lake Bell, Lindsay Sloane and Nick Kroll) lead relatively dysfunctional lives, have jobs they may not like, were part of a ‘lost’ generation who never got to have group sex because AIDS had just hit the world. They are shaken up when close friend Glenn (Will Forte) marries other friend Kate (Lucy Punch) and when Eric’s wealthy playboy father played by Don Johnson decides to sell off their summer home, a place the gang have their traditional (but far from that) parties at.

Eric decides that before the house is sold – and they try everything they can to distract and delay pretty real estate agent Kelly (Leslie Bibb) from doing so – they must have one last big blowout party. And the theme: an old fashioned orgy among friends.

The film is basically about how they prepare for it, at first most are reluctant but life’s disappointments and circumstances make them change their minds. Eric’s banter with McCrudden (Tyler Labine) is classic. The Hangover had good chemistry amongst its cast and so does this film. It’s not just lewd jokes and gestures but relationships. And the writers/directors have managed to weave that connection in well considering there’s no build up to their friendship. You just have to accept them as long-time friends and it’s pretty easy to do that.

Dildos, penises and cock size feature in the dialogue, so if you’re a bit of a prude you may not like the film. But if can just let your hair down, lay back and take it (no pun intended) then you’re sure to enjoy this film for its effortless situational comedy.

Yes the Indian censors have made some cuts but you’ll still enjoy the movie and the climax!
