Critic Reviews

  • Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com
    It hedges its bets in the big climax--so to speak. More...
  • Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
    You don't review a movie like "A Good Old-Fashioned Orgy." You autopsy it. More...
  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
    Jason Sudeikis, mildly annoying in small doses, turns out to be greatly annoying in large ones, as our hero. More...
  • Kyle Smith, New York Post
    Chlamydia, gonorrhea and Jason Sudeikis are three reasons to stay well clear of "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy," but they're not the only ones. More...
  • Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
    Gregory and Huyck keep their frat boy (and girl) lark grounded while making sure no bit is left untouched. More...
  • Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
    Feels as if it had been conceived and written on the back of a cocktail napkin, then handed over to the actors in hope they could come up with some funny business. No such luck. More...
  • Marc Mohan, Salon.com
    These immature, fairly pitiable protagonists go about their absurd project in all the wrong ways. But you just keep rooting for them. More...
  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
    By accident or design, the resolution here is morally ambiguous and vaguely distasteful, which may be the reason I liked it. More...
  • Mark Jenkins, NPR
    The movie keeps its balance better than its leering title might suggest. More...
  • Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
    Movies about raising children or reconnecting with lost loves can be subtle and slow paced. But orgy movies need to go all out. There doesn't appear to be any other way. More...
