A group of 30-year-olds who have been friends since high school attempt to throw an end-of-summer orgy. The story centers on a 30-year-old (Sudeikis) who is forced to grow up when his father decides to sell the family vacation home in the Hamptons, bringing an end to his tradition of throwing elaborate summer theme parties. Wanting to go out with a bang, he enlists his friends to throw one final party — an orgy.Watch A Good Old Fashioned Orgy Movie Online
A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, which had its North American premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, will inevitably draw comparisons to The Big Chill. Just substitute the dead friend with dildos.
This is a reaction directors Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck fully intended, even admitting that they screened the movie for the crew while they were shooting on location in North Carolina. Although that rare Chill-like bond between actors clearly shines through on screen, I found Orgy to be more of a Wet Hot American Summer starring 30-somethings. Perhaps it was the recurring joke of main character Eric (played by Jason Sudeikis, of SNL, 30 Rock and Hall Pass fame) uprooting and discarding annoyingly ever-reappearing “for sale” signs outside his Hamptons summer home, reminiscent of so many campers chucked from the back of a van by Paul Rudd in Summer. Or the fact that both movies feature hilarious bits of juicy gossip divulged between its members when broken off into private male- and female-only cliques. Or that they both possess characters named Katie (not that I’d be biased in noticing such a similarity).
More likely, though, it’s that the two films offer a wealth of tongue-in-cheek gags, a mixture of established and up-and-coming comedic actors, whip-smart humor and palpable chemistry between their players. But – and I’m aware that repeating the title seems to give this statement less credibility – A Good Old Fashioned Orgy boasts a hell of a lot more sincerity and heart.
We’re introduced to the story’s key players during an opening montage, where they’re pictured counting down the minutes within their respective Manhattan office environs before promptly rushing into cars and hauling themselves to their pal Eric’s Hamptons home. There they blow off all that pavement-hittin’ steam at a White Trash Bash (which appropriately includes revelers in mullet wigs guzzling PBR’s, riding tractors and eating bean dip from the bowl of a porcelain toilet).

It doesn’t take us long to figure out that Eric is the epic shindig-throwing ringleader of this motley crew of 30-somethings who’ve maintained bestie status since high school. There’s therapist Alison (Lake Bell) and her on-again, off-again boyfriend Marcus (Rhys Coiro), school teacher Laura (Lindsay Sloane), hard partier Mike (Tyler Labine, who irrefutably steals the show with his Jack Black-like comedic timing and Chris Farley lovability), law student/wanna-be musician Doug (Martin Starr) and his girlfriend Willow (Angela Sarafyan), new mom Katie (Lucy Punch) and her hubby Glen (Will Forte), mysterious and Sue (Michelle Borth), and hypochondriac workaholic Adam (Nick Kroll). This is a long way of saying: Don’t let the archetypal characters (or their seemingly generic problems) fool you – the flick assembles one hell of a cast that breathes gut-bustingly funny life into every line of dialogue.
The crux of the film’s -toy and lube-laden climax is that Eric’s dad (a cameo performance that others may spoil, but the surprise ain’t gonna be divulged by me) rolls up in his convertible, with the requisite 20 years-younger girlfriend, to pay Eric a visit in the beer can-strewn afterglow of the White Trash Bash. Over the niceties of the gloriously rich – golf references and promises of yoga dates – Eric’s father divulges that he’s putting the house on the market.
