Entertaining despite its one-joke premise with the thesis that women from Venus and men from Mars can indeed get together.

Reviews for Amy's O
Davis is funny, charming and quirky in her feature film acting debut as Amy.

Surprisingly insightful
07/26/02
Davis ... gets vivid performances from her cast and pulls off some deft Ally McBeal-style fantasy sequences.
08/23/02
Like Kissing Jessica Stein, Amy's Orgasm has a key strength in its willingness to explore its principal characters with honesty, insight and humor.
08/29/02
Top CriticDavis' candid, archly funny and deeply authentic take on intimate relationships comes to fruition in her sophomore effort.
01/31/03
Top CriticDespite its many infuriating flaws -- not the least of which is Amy's self-absorbed personality -- Amy's O's honesty will win you over.
01/31/03
When compared to the usual, more somber festival entries, Davis' highly personal brand of romantic comedy is a tart, smart breath of fresh air that stands out from the pack even if the picture itself is somewhat problematic.
01/02/03
Top CriticJulie Davis is the Kathie Lee Gifford of film directors, sadly proving once again ego doesn't always go hand in hand with talent.
11/27/02
A movie that harps on media-constructed 'issues' like whether compromise is the death of self… this Orgasm [won't be an] exceedingly memorable one for most people.
08/30/02
Amy and Matthew have a bit of a phony relationship, but the film works in spite of it.
08/15/02
Obvious
09/23/02
[Davis] has a bright, chipper style that keeps things moving, while never quite managing to connect her wish-fulfilling characters to the human race.
08/22/02
Top CriticImagine Susan Sontag falling in love with Howard Stern.

07/06/05
One of the most plain, unimaginative romantic comedies I've ever seen.
12/08/02
The whole mess boils down to a transparently hypocritical work that feels as though it's trying to set the women's liberation movement back 20 years.
10/04/02
Davis the performer is plenty fetching enough, but she needs to shake up the mix, and work in something that doesn't feel like a half-baked stand-up routine.
