This is the slightest and slimmest of sex comedies.

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
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.

Top CriticThe sexual nature of the film will attract the tweeny crowd but the summer/fall romance between Priscilla and Wayne is the real draw, thanks to [Danny] DeVito.
08/12/06
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.

Parker Posey is not the only one who isn't getting satisfaction here.
08/10/06
A 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
Or more aptly, The Aw in Awful.

One must endure an hour of...crude gags until the film mutates into something almost wonderful in its final third, rescued by unlikely romantic foil Danny DeVito
08/06/06
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
It's a thrill to watch Posey incorporate, at last, some true emotion into her exuberant screwball wit.
08/04/06
The Oh in Ohio deserves a dubious distinction award: for turning a woman's quest to achieve her first orgasm into a lackluster comedy.
08/03/06
Are you asking me to believe that a one-time stoner would be so inspired by a science class that she’d become a National Merit Scholar and get into Harvard?
07/24/06
The sight of Posey, Minnelli, and Graham fondling sexual aids and chattering about orgasms is meant to reduce you to helpless laughter, but it will more likely leave you wondering how many bad choices it takes to destroy a career.
07/19/06
This is too clever by half.
07/15/06
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
For all of its faults, however, the movie is so nonjudgmental and unashamed about enjoying sex, it can't help but leave you with a good feeling.
07/14/06
Ohio, and Cleveland in particular, deserve much better than this.
07/14/06
Top CriticPeople who complain about the lack of good adult comedies will still be complaining after watching Billy's Kent's The Oh in Ohio.
07/14/06
Despite this seemingly surefire premise and cast of veteran comedians - there's even a cameo by Liza Minnelli as a masturbation coach -- The OH in Ohio just lies there, without a single laugh.
