Amy's Orgasm Reviews
Amy's biggest faults are that it's too wordy and that those words sound scripted.

a nightmare date with a half-formed wit done a great disservice by a lack of critical distance and a sad trust in liberal arts college bumper sticker platitudes.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Feb 12, 2003
Davis' candid, archly funny and deeply authentic take on intimate relationships comes to fruition in her sophomore effort.

Despite its many infuriating flaws -- not the least of which is Amy's self-absorbed personality -- Amy's O's honesty will win you over.

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.

One of the most plain, unimaginative romantic comedies I've ever seen.

Julie Davis is the Kathie Lee Gifford of film directors, sadly proving once again ego doesn't always go hand in hand with talent.

Davis is funny, charming and quirky in her feature film acting debut as Amy.

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.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 4, 2002
Frankly, it's kind of insulting, both to men and women. And it's not that funny -- which is just generally insulting.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 2, 2002
About Amy's cuteness, Amy's career success (she's a best-selling writer of self-help books who can't help herself), and Amy's neuroses when it comes to men.
| Original Score: C | Sep 27, 2002
Obvious

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.
| Original Score: C- | Aug 30, 2002
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.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 30, 2002
Like Kissing Jessica Stein, Amy's Orgasm has a key strength in its willingness to explore its principal characters with honesty, insight and humor.

Davis ... is so enamored of her own creation that she can't see how insufferable the character is.
