The Oh in Ohio Reviews
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.

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.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 8, 2006
The Oh in Ohio's childish storytelling, paper-thin character development, and general unfunniness combine to make one bad movie.
| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Aug 26, 2006
Posey's such a delight it's easy to appreciate her even in a film as fruitless as The Oh in Ohio.

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.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 18, 2006
The script, which was co-written by director Billy Kent, has the forced 'raciness' of a mid-'70s dinner-theater sex comedy.

The Oh in Ohio would make a second-rate lover: You'll lose interest a while before it reaches its climax.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 13, 2006
This is the slightest and slimmest of sex comedies.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 13, 2006
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.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 12, 2006
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.
| Original Score: D | Aug 12, 2006
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.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 10, 2006
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.

It's a thrill to watch Posey incorporate, at last, some true emotion into her exuberant screwball wit.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 4, 2006
The Oh in Ohio deserves a dubious distinction award: for turning a woman's quest to achieve her first orgasm into a lackluster comedy.
| Aug 3, 2006
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.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 14, 2006
Ohio, and Cleveland in particular, deserve much better than this.

People who complain about the lack of good adult comedies will still be complaining after watching Billy's Kent's The Oh in Ohio.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 14, 2006
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.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 14, 2006
Satire is awfully hard to pull off, but screenwriter Adam Wierzbianski exhibits a flair for it.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 14, 2006
A feel good movie about feeling good, this fresh and very funny sex comedy stars Parker Posey as a woman in search of an orgasm.
