I like Parker Posey and yes, I loved watching this film. Somehow this reminded me what is really important in my life. This movie reminded me of my ex who I loved the most but had to break up because I was too young and my parents got highly involved in our relationship, simply they didn't like him at all. At that time I thought he was not the man because of my parents, which is a pity, but someday in the future if I will meet someone like him, I will never let the person leave me again. Life is all about seeking happiness and if someone can make me happy, nothing else comes first than that. Well anyways bottom line is, I highly recommend this movie to someone who got hurt so many times because of love relationships and still confused and suffering looking for the right person for them. Just watch this movie and if you have someone who rings your bell, go for it, he is the one you've been looking for. :-)

The Oh in Ohio is a good, fun, and light movie. It doesn't go very far, but it manages to entertain for the duration of the film. While The OH in OHio is about some scandalous things : masturbation and mistresses among other sex related things, it manages to keep it silly and avoids cringe-worthy scenes. Dare I say that it wouldn't be that bad if you watched with your parents. The actors help keep the film afloat. Paul Rudd is his usual awkward and low-key comical self, while Parker Posey, the master of quirky, also gives me a good laugh. Her character is super endearing, innocent and sweet. Then there's Danny DeVito who plays the male version of Parker Posey's character. And finally, Mischa Barton brings a little oomph, a little scandal and a little sex to it all. There is very little conflict in this film, which isn't a bad thing. It is refreshing as it seems that the film is not trying too hard to take its viewer on a roller coaster in attempts to keep them constantly entertained. Therefore, if you are looking for something upbeat, not too intense and that defines one meaning of love and identity then this is your movie!

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.

There are few redeeming aspects in this showcase of irresponsible, unmotivated filmmaking. The characters, dialog, and situations were nearly as uncomfortable and awkward as the premise of a woman trying to have an orgasm. I don't understand how a film mainly about sex can be so boring, slow, uninteresting and UN-sexy. The pacing is far too slow for what is supposed to be a fun, quirky film, and the editing is loose with some confusing cuts. The entire film felt unnatural, uncomfortable, and bored. A few plot points and lines of dialog were entirely confusing and unclear, and by the end of the film I felt lost. The student and Sherri characters were poorly written and poorly executed – they felt like characters in a book I was reading. They weren't dynamic and didn't feel truly alive and present. Their comments were unnatural and strange, and didn't fit in with the rest of the film. Also, a very confusing aspect of the film was the relationship between Priscilla and Wayne – I won't give everything away, but throughout the whole film I was confused about their past, present, and until the end, future. So now you might be wondering about those redeeming qualities I mentioned earlier. Paul Rudd is an excellent actor, which somehow manages to show through in this film. However, his skill is weighed down, limited, and ultimately trapped and killed by the poor writing, directing, and overall execution of this story. Danny DeVito is the only thing that manages to rise above this snooze-fest to make it somewhat enjoyable. His character is developed, complex, motivated and real in a world of fake, tired, hollow shells of people. Overall though, this film is slow, barely able to capture and hold attention, and left no impact on my view of the world. I believe that each film is worth watching once – to watch this film again would be a waste of time.
