a nightmare date with a half-formed wit done a great disservice by a lack of critical distance and a sad trust in liberal arts college bumper sticker platitudes.

Davis' candid, archly funny and deeply authentic take on intimate relationships comes to fruition in her sophomore effort.

Top CriticDespite its many infuriating flaws -- not the least of which is Amy's self-absorbed personality -- Amy's O's honesty will win you over.

When compared to the usual, more somber festival entries, Davis' highly personal brand of romantic comedy is a tart, smart breath of fresh air that stands out from the pack even if the picture itself is somewhat problematic.

Top CriticOne of the most plain, unimaginative romantic comedies I've ever seen.

Julie Davis is the Kathie Lee Gifford of film directors, sadly proving once again ego doesn't always go hand in hand with talent.

Davis is funny, charming and quirky in her feature film acting debut as Amy.

The whole mess boils down to a transparently hypocritical work that feels as though it's trying to set the women's liberation movement back 20 years.

Top CriticFrankly, it's kind of insulting, both to men and women. And it's not that funny -- which is just generally insulting.

About Amy's cuteness, Amy's career success (she's a best-selling writer of self-help books who can't help herself), and Amy's neuroses when it comes to men.

A movie that harps on media-constructed 'issues' like whether compromise is the death of self… this Orgasm [won't be an] exceedingly memorable one for most people.

Davis the performer is plenty fetching enough, but she needs to shake up the mix, and work in something that doesn't feel like a half-baked stand-up routine.

Like Kissing Jessica Stein, Amy's Orgasm has a key strength in its willingness to explore its principal characters with honesty, insight and humor.
08/29/02
Top CriticIt's supposed to be post-feminist breezy but ends up as tedious as the chatter of parrots raised on Oprah.
