A Good Old Fashioned Orgy

 

Movie Review by Russell Pinkston

Eric (Jason Sudeikis) loves throwing parties (usually with some kind of theme) with his friends at his dad’s (Don Johnson) beach house.  But when his dad decides to put the house up for sale Eric and his friends realize the party might soon be over forever.   Together with his best friend, McGrudden (Tyler Labine) they decide to have one last party and instead of being a big blowout they decide to keep this one small.  They discuss themes and somehow come up with the idea of having an orgy.  Hey…why not?!   In the meantime Eric falls for Kelly (Leslie Bibb), one of the real estate agents selling his dad’s house.   This adds some complication to plans of the orgy party. 

Jason Sudeikis (Hall Pass, Horrible Bosses) heads the cast of relatively unknowns.  Tyler Labine (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Zack and Miri Make a Porno) is the real star of this movie.  He steals every scene his is in.   I loved Tyler in the last movie I seen, Tucker & Dale VS Evil.   Leslie Bibb (Iron Man (1&2), Law Abiding Citizen) plays the love interest of Jason’s character Eric.  Will Forte stars as Glenn, one of Eric’s friends who is newly married and therefore not invited to the party.  Lucy Punch (Take Me Home Tonight, Bad Teacher) plays as Glenn’s wife.

This movie basically went direct to dvd.  With a title that includes Orgy…I can understand why.  But it’s not really a bad movie.  It has alot of laughs and a pretty decent cast of actors and actress.  I enjoyed Horrible Bosses and Tucker & Dale VS Evil alot more but I enjoyed this movie for what it was…a good old fashioned adult comedy that’s worth at least a look.  I say RENT THIS MOVIE.

Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil

Movie review by Russell Pinkston

A group of college students decide to go on a camping trip in the middle of  the West Viginia woods.   While at a gas station they run into a couple of  locals, Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine).   Tucker and Dale are as backwoods and hillbilly as can be and the college kids are frighten off by them.  After all they have seen alot of movies about these types of people who live way out in the woods.  They once again run into the rednecks while camping, where one of the girls, Allison (Katrina Bowden) is abducted by them.   The college kids lead by Chad (Jesse Moss) decide they are not gonna be the victims they have seen in the movies.  They decide they are gonna fight back and rescue their friend Allison.  One by one the body count starts to add up as well as the laughs.  I don’t want to tell you too much about the movie…it’s one of those movies that you have to see (and enjoyed) by yourself.

Tyler Labine (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Zack and Miri Make a Porno) and Alan Tudyk (Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) are great in this not so typical horror movie.  They are so totally believeable as the backwoods buddies.  Katrina Bowden (Sex Drive, Piranha 3DD) is both sexy and likable as the captured college girl.  This cast for the most part for me are unknown.   But everyone in it are great.   The movie is directed perfectly by Eli Craig.  He had me fooled at first that this was gonna be just another crappy horror movie. 

I am not a huge fan of the horror genre but this is not your typical Wrong Turn type horror movie.   Unlike most horror movies it’s cleverly written and well acted.  I really like and recommend this movie.  I was laughing out loud and loving almost every minute.  It’s one of my most enjoyable movie experiences of 2012 so far.  I say Rent It NOW!
