TETB Review: A Good Old Fashioned Orgy

Who wants to have A Good Old Fashioned Orgy? Well after seeing this movie I might be into the idea. If you never seen this flick the plot is, A group of 30-year-olds who have been friends since high school attempt to throw an end-of-summer orgy. Now this is kind of a brave plot line and a lot of people wouldn't touch this, but Directors/Writers Alex Gregory & Peter Huyck did. Plus this as a pretty good cast of actors that keep you interested in the story itself. This movie stars Jason Sudeikis(SNL, Horrible Bosses, & Hall Pass), Leslie Bibb(Zookeeper, Iron Man 1 & 2), Lake Bell( How to Make It In America, No Strings Attached), Michelle Borth( Hawaii Five-O 2010), Nick Kroll(The League), Tyler Labine( Tucker & Dale Vs Evil, Reaper, Rise of The Planet Of The Apes), Angela Sarafyan(The Good Guys), Lindsay Sloane(Weeds, Horrible Bosses), Martin Starr(Adventureland, Party Down, Knocked Up) with Will Forte(SNL, MacGruber,) and Lacy Punch(Bad Teacher, Take Me Home Tonight).
  
This movie had me going from the beginning to the end. At first you get to see what they get into in their everyday lives, like a really quick way to get to know someone you just met... or speed dating as they call it. After the opening credits are done it all starts off at a party which they call, "The White Trash Party". I'm not even making that up at all. There are people dressed in overalls and women with tops from the 80's people!! I thought this was fun to kind of look at and made me want to join the party.

So after drinking a few beers to get into the party mood, I continued to watch. So it turns out that the day after the party, Eric Keppler(Jason Sudeikis) father wants to sell the house where Eric and his friends party and vacation to every year seems like which put Eric in a bad place. I can understand how he feels about it, I mean its like losing a club house or having your father chop down the tree your club house is in.


So now Eric alongside his friend Mike McCrudden(Tyler Labine), decide that their last party should be an outstanding one, and party to end all parties!!! And I think you know where I'm going with this.... an orgy.... they want to have an orgy. I mean who wouldn't?!! Get a few friends over, make sure it’s all even guys and gals, get drunk on everything you have, start going at it!!! But this is not a porno, although it does have porno potential. I could definitely see them doing parody porn about this flick.


Anyway I don't want to go too much into it but the title alone should have you hooked, I mean first off you never see titles like this in a movie theater at all. I mean look at Zack and Miri Make a Porno, some people had issues with the word porno when that was coming out. So they had to do that just shorten it to Zack and Miri... thats it... Zak and Miri what??!! Another film they did that to is Cop Out. Now with Cop Out they had to change the title completely!! The original name they were going for was A Couple of Dicks. I loved that name and it made sense, but oh no.... they couldn't have the word dick out there for kids to see. You don't think that a kid gonna ask “Mommy what’s an Orgy"?

All and all though, this flick is a pretty good watch. The plot and idea is great, you get to see all these friends kind of go through changes, and plus you get to see stuff you would never see most people do at a party. Hell I didn't think I was going to see Tyler Labine's ass in this... I need more to drink.....
