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.
Reviews for The Oh in Ohio
A farce executed by characters who feel more like pawns than fully realized people.
07/11/06
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's childish storytelling, paper-thin character development, and general unfunniness combine to make one bad movie.
08/26/06
Sex comedies often glean laughs out of sexual humiliation, but when the laughs don't come -- and The Oh In Ohio is devoid of even the mildest chuckles -- all that's left is the humiliation.
08/12/06
It's a thrill to watch Posey incorporate, at last, some true emotion into her exuberant screwball wit.
08/04/06
While moments in this tale of sexual dysfunction are as refreshing as its underused Cleveland setting, it remains more a set of interlocking sketches than a compelling story.
07/14/06
At the end of the day, Kent and screenwriter Adam Wierzbianski have given us a mildly amusing premise, but fail to turn it into a story that takes us anywhere pleasurable.
08/12/06
Top CriticA C- sex comedy with a near A-list cast -- at least in terms of talent -- The Oh in Ohio is one of those movies that promises much but doesn't deliver.
08/10/06
The Oh in Ohio would make a second-rate lover: You'll lose interest a while before it reaches its climax.
08/13/06
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.
01/08/07
A first rate ensemble gets it past the censors, but not to a beachhead on the mainstream.
06/25/06
Kent directs with clean, precise strokes and with little of the desperation associated with most American comedies.
07/13/06
How bad does a movie have to be for Heather Graham to remove her name from the credits?
07/14/06
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
Unfortunately, writer Adam Wierzbianski, who seems more steeped in the rhythm method of sitcom than the less predictable peaks of screwball, allows the batteries to run down prematurely.
08/04/06
Its coarse opening sections are ill-matched for the warmly compassionate tale it ultimately matures into.
07/13/06
The OH In Ohio deserves credit for bringing up some sexual-experimentation taboos, but since the film never does more than nimbly skirt them rather than challenge them head-on, the proceedings are ho-hum.
07/13/06
Mischa Barton’s acting is about as flat as her chest.
