Why so much hype?

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Teddie Blake
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This cast of actors and their performances really makes this film wonderful. Parker Posey is always great, but she puts a lot of oomph in to this character, and it really pays off. Heather Graham, Danny DeVito and Miranda Bailey all work their magic to create dynamic comedic scenes. And Paul Rudd of course is hilarious and witty as usual. The characters and their interactions keep you laughing and wondering about their lives that all seem a little too casual with all the chaos. This film definitely goes where no other film I have seen goes, and it deserves praise for that. Although the plot takes some unexpected twists, and there are some things I didn't really understand, I still spent most of the film laughing and enjoying the performances.

The Oh in Ohio is a witty comedy about the complexities of an orgasm. Paul Rudd plays the quick wit slacker character that we've grown accustomed to seeing and Parker is the adorable know it all that we all love. The film is surprisingly funny and heart warming. Danny Devito plays an endearing lovable salesman. This film manages to take the romantic comedy genre viewer into different, unexpected directions. I'm a big fan of filmmakers that can take a date or couples film genre, like a romantic comedy, and turn the genre into a film for all to enjoy. If you're a Paul Rudd fan than this is surely a role of his that you don't want to miss. This film is worth a watch if you like to laugh you wont be disappointed!

I would have assumed that "The Oh! in Ohio" was trying to be the Judd Apatow sex comedies for females, but this was released in 2006 just before the Apatow craze began. So now I'm not sure what they were trying to go for.It's marketed as a comedy but it's more of a drama. The plot line is that Priscilla Chase (Parker Posey) and her husband (Paul Rudd) are in an unhappy marriage because she isn't able to climax. Along with "50 million other women who suffer from orgasmic dysfunction" as the film tells us.The film moves forward with Posey trying to have an orgasm. I'm assuming these scenes were supposed to provide us laughs but they weren't very funny. The other half of the movie is Rudd living his depressed life as a biology teacher. Finally the film industry has figured out that occasionally there are teachers for subjects other than English, but unfortunately it's in this movie just so we can have him spout the names of some sex organ muscles. Paul Rudd is one of my favourite actors, but the story for his character is extremely poorly done. The humour is so low-key, that I view it more as a drama, so there is no pay-off for his poor character. I might even have to blame this film for Rudd being relegated to buddy comedies now.There is a lot to not like in this film, but Posey does shine, and some of the "50 million women who suffer from orgasmic dysfunction" might enjoy "The Oh! in Ohio" but probably not many other people will.

An successful career woman Priscilla Chase (Parkey Posey) has it all. She has a good life, great job but her sex life isn't quite good. Since she never had an orgasm. Which her depressed biological science teacher Jack Chase (Paul Rudd) is trying to satisfy his wife sexually, which he never quite do. Which his wife doesn't think it's a big deal. They went to a sex therapist (James Kisicki), this man thinks that his wife should get an vibrator. At first, they laugh about it until his wife buys it. Which it becomes her new best friend and her husband becomes insanely jealous. They separated for the moment but both of the lives are becoming better. Since Priscilla starts to have an better sex life, experimenting with different sexes and one night stands. But Priscilla starts to have an relationship with an charming much older man (Danny DeVito). While Jack is having an affair with an smart High School student (Mischa Barton). Jack starts to be an much happier man and taking charge in his life. But their marriage will have saved after mid-life crisis? Directed by Billy Kent made an amusing adult comedy with plenty of likable characters and it has some big genuine laughs. This film certainly have a great cast including Miranda Bailey and Keith David in funny supporting roles. Director Kent certainly has an great eye for comedy, which it's fresh and the characters in the movie are not stupid. Posey and Rudd are excellent in the movie. Barton has a good role here and DeVito, it's refreshing to see him in a movie to be the romantic character for a chance.DVD has an good anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer and an good Dolby 2.0 Surround Sound. DVD has Deleted/Extended Scenes, which some of them are interesting. Some viewers did have problems with the last act but i didn't. This certainly had an unusual happy ending, which i didn't expected. Which some viewers hoped for something better. But the DVD is quite odd, especially it starts in a Widescreen 2.35:1 aspect ratio for the first few minutes until its changes aspect ratio to Widescreen 1.78:1! Which the Extended/Deleted Scenes are shown in 2.35:1 Widescreen. The movie would have looked so much better, if it was left in 2.35:1 Widescreen for the whole picture. But that's my only complain on the DVD. This is probably the most entertaining adult comedies i seen in a while and it is a film, i am look forward to watch again. Liza Mannelli, Toby Radloff as himself and Robert John Burke appears in amusing cameos. Heather Graham appears uncredited in a small supporting role. Don't miss it. (****/*****).
