GamerTab That was an excellent one.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

napierslogs I would have assumed that "The Oh! in Ohio" was trying to be the Judd Apatow sex comedies for females, but this was released in 2006 just before the Apatow craze began. So now I'm not sure what they were trying to go for.It's marketed as a comedy but it's more of a drama. The plot line is that Priscilla Chase (Parker Posey) and her husband (Paul Rudd) are in an unhappy marriage because she isn't able to climax. Along with "50 million other women who suffer from orgasmic dysfunction" as the film tells us.The film moves forward with Posey trying to have an orgasm. I'm assuming these scenes were supposed to provide us laughs but they weren't very funny. The other half of the movie is Rudd living his depressed life as a biology teacher. Finally the film industry has figured out that occasionally there are teachers for subjects other than English, but unfortunately it's in this movie just so we can have him spout the names of some sex organ muscles. Paul Rudd is one of my favourite actors, but the story for his character is extremely poorly done. The humour is so low-key, that I view it more as a drama, so there is no pay-off for his poor character. I might even have to blame this film for Rudd being relegated to buddy comedies now.There is a lot to not like in this film, but Posey does shine, and some of the "50 million women who suffer from orgasmic dysfunction" might enjoy "The Oh! in Ohio" but probably not many other people will.

siderite This had the hallmarks of a perfect chick flick: woman having no orgasms finds "the way". Then a lot of situational humour about the reactions of the husband, the friend of the husband, the friend of the wife, the husband's girlfriend, the wife's boyfriend... etc.Yet, after describing what seemed to be a spicy, yet ordinary story, the movie ended abruptly as if saying "ok, this is how it goes, learn what you will from it, that's it".As a comedy I've had some good laughs, but very few. As a romantic comedy, there is almost no romance, just sexual rediscoveries. As a drama, well, there is a lot of drama, but the film passes through it like it is a bit meaningless.Bottom line: great premise, some interesting actors, sexy actresses, but not enough spunk. This should have been more.

adibadi A fair enough comedy on a Friday evening - with a few beer in your head. No, I mean you really have to drink something, otherwise the twists (if there is any) are too obvious.I've had the certain feeling during that hour and a half that this could definitely be a pretty good movie if the screenwriter would have put a little more energy in composing the story line and developing the characters, because there are simply huge holes everywhere.For instance, the temptation occurs suddenly to both half of the couple, we get explanation (the pool guy wants to fill in the last patch of grass in the neighborhood, while the enthusiastic chick wants to please the mighty teacher), but something is missing or turns out to be incoherent. They hit a psychologist after a decade, laugh their asses off afterwards, but the relationship remains somehow cold anyway. I had to laugh (unfortunately not as I supposed to at a comedy) how the fellow pretends to be jealous with a cigarette butt hanging out of his sad mouth after discovering his precious playing with a dildo and then, goes and plugs the leak immediately on his student. Or. I'm curious how the hell on Earth is that 30M American women could not get an orgasm ever (sexual dysfunction...) and they discover out of the blue sky - or at least this cute example, according to the plot - at the age of 38 (see cast), after being stuck in a failed and frustrated marriage for a long while, the power of touching themselves (sleeping with every idiot, bisexuality, ...). Why is that the chap wants the girly back, is that just because his dick was confirmed to be magnificent and the teenager who did that has to slip to Harvard? What was he planning otherwise? Marry her and talk about the biology homework? Does some crappy Chinese food sound like a vibrator and cause 'I have to pee' and 'I'm outta this reality' symptoms at the same time in a conference room? Isn't it just a Hollywood fashion to get together with your grandfather in 'deep love' (at least one can understand the why over there: the 'slight' influence of the cash)? And so on.All in all, the film is not that bad, but I've seen some better flicks on the topic. I go for a six.

gradyharp THE OH IN OHIO reminds us that late night suggestive sitcoms are still around only now they are becoming full length feature films: 20 minutes worth of idea becomes stretched beyond the elastic point in this silly and oh-so-pink little bit of fluff. First time director Billy Kent and writer Sarah Bird with assistance from Kent somehow managed to not only get producers to pay attention to their project but also attracted some good actors to try to pull it off. 'Money makes the world go around...'The plot is minimal: Parker Posey plays successful business woman Priscilla Chase who is known for her beauty, is married to a Biology teacher Jack Chase (Paul Rudd) who is on the skids from depression over the fact that his machismo is daily challenged by the fact the Priscilla has never had an orgasm. This fact somehow demeans Jack who has always bragged about his triumphs in bed but his career and self-esteem are in a pit due to Priscilla's sexual dysfunction. Priscilla attends a sex therapy session for women hosted by none other than Liza Minnelli where she is encouraged to get to know her vagina. At the suggestion from Priscilla's friend Sherri (Miranda Bailey) concurrently with Jack's friend Coach Popovich (Keith David) and the counsel of a therapist, Priscilla buys a vibrator and the story from then on is how Priscilla's new-found satisfaction alters her life, pushes Jack into the arms of a student (Mischa Barton), and on and on with Priscilla finding outlets for her discovery with a sex toys salesgirl, a pool guy (Danny DeVito). Everything about Priscilla and Jack is changed and for the rest of what's left of the standup comedy routine viewers will have to decide if they care to watch the DVD.About the only thing that pulls this together is Parker Posey, unafraid to take on a script that asks her to demean herself in the process. This is definitely one of those films to perhaps rent when the video store shelves are empty. Grady Harp
