The OH In Ohio deserves credit for bringing up some sexual-experimentation taboos, but since the film never does more than nimbly skirt them rather than challenge them head-on, the proceedings are ho-hum.

Consensus: A muddled sex-comedy that feels oddly sexless, The Oh in Ohio packs in too many ideas without establishing a clear identity or objective.
Theatrical Release:Jul 14, 2006 Limited
Synopsis: What happens to the couple who seem destined to be together but can't satisfy each other between the sheets? That's the question at the heart of Billy Kent's directorial debut, THE OH IN OHIO.... [More]

Are you asking me to believe that a one-time stoner would be so inspired by a science class that she’d become a National Merit Scholar and get into Harvard?
07/24/06
At the end of the day, Kent and screenwriter Adam Wierzbianski have given us a mildly amusing premise, but fail to turn it into a story that takes us anywhere pleasurable.
08/12/06
For all of its faults, however, the movie is so nonjudgmental and unashamed about enjoying sex, it can't help but leave you with a good feeling.
07/14/06
Posey rides the role with grace and charm, capturing each lightening bolt of self-discovery while also keeping the role grounded in quietly eroding shame.
07/12/06
I felt some of its heroine's pain. She's spent her life waiting for an orgasm. I spent the movie waiting for a plot.
08/18/06
Top CriticParker Posey is not the only one who isn't getting satisfaction here.
08/10/06
there simply isn't enough material here to carry a short, much less an hour-and-a-half-long feature
07/13/06
A farce executed by characters who feel more like pawns than fully realized people.
07/11/06
Top CriticIt’s as if the filmmakers lost their nerve when it came time to write the kind of intimate, revealing conversation that can make a sex toy unnecessary.
07/13/06
The sound recording is hollow and muddy, the cinematography underlit and sometimes blurred at the edges, and the whole thing has the dreary feeling of a bottom-of-the-barrel, clammy '70s sex comedy.
07/11/06
The sight of Posey, Minnelli, and Graham fondling sexual aids and chattering about orgasms is meant to reduce you to helpless laughter, but it will more likely leave you wondering how many bad choices it takes to destroy a career.
07/19/06
The Oh in Ohio has a light, scampy spirit that rides to its rescue, often enough.
08/25/06
It's a harmless feel-good romantic comedy which offers a lot of cheap thrills and lowbrow comedy, but is too dysfunctional to stir up an orgasm.
12/25/06
The Oh in Ohio deserves a dubious distinction award: for turning a woman's quest to achieve her first orgasm into a lackluster comedy.
08/03/06
Top CriticIts coarse opening sections are ill-matched for the warmly compassionate tale it ultimately matures into.
07/13/06
How bad does a movie have to be for Heather Graham to remove her name from the credits?
07/14/06
The script, which was co-written by director Billy Kent, has the forced 'raciness' of a mid-'70s dinner-theater sex comedy.
08/17/06
Top CriticParker Posey and Paul Rudd play a couple that is entrapped in a marriage where nothing seems to go right, in bed or otherwise--just like the movie itself.
