Tongue-in-cheek humor that's kinda kinky around the edges.

Consensus:
A muddled sex-comedy that feels oddly sexless, The Oh in Ohio packs in too many ideas without establishing a clear identity or objective.
Runtime: 88 mins

Reviews
O elenco é charmoso, mas o roteiro parece um primeiro tratamento em que as idéias ainda estão sem foco e o tom da narrativa, indefinido.

It's a harmless feel-good romantic comedy which offers a lot of cheap thrills and lowbrow comedy, but is too dysfunctional to stir up an orgasm.
12/25/06
Comedies for grown-ups, period, are now in such short supply that a good-natured little picture like The Oh in Ohio feels like an anomaly.

Not since Sex in the City has frank, female driven dialogue been so funny or enlightening.
09/26/06
A vibrator may put the buzz back in the solo sex life, but it tends to suck the life out of any movie not rated with three Xs.
09/08/06
Most of the 'comedy' has Posey bumbling through one embarrassingly unfunny situation after another.
09/01/06
Much like Priscilla's sexual difficulties, The OH in Ohio just doesn't satisfy.
08/31/06
The Oh in Ohio's childish storytelling, paper-thin character development, and general unfunniness combine to make one bad movie.
08/26/06
The Oh in Ohio has a light, scampy spirit that rides to its rescue, often enough.
08/25/06
Posey's such a delight it's easy to appreciate her even in a film as fruitless as The Oh in Ohio.
08/18/06
I felt some of its heroine's pain. She's spent her life waiting for an orgasm. I spent the movie waiting for a plot.

It's like watching a bad '70s porno movie that has been sheared of its sex scenes and has nothing left but rudeness and genitalia jokes.
08/17/06
The script, which was co-written by director Billy Kent, has the forced 'raciness' of a mid-'70s dinner-theater sex comedy.
08/17/06
The Oh in Ohio would make a second-rate lover: You'll lose interest a while before it reaches its climax.
