Whoever gave this film a bad review is a prude. I could not stop laughing from start to finish. How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town is well written, cast, shot, and deserves nothing less than 10/10.

My eyes were rolling through this movie. Not at all funny, not at all sexy, not at all any point in trying to watch this immature mess of a childish movie that wants so bad to pretend it is adult. Truly a terrible movie.

This film just doesn't make it. It doesn't even come close. If this is Canadian humour then, wow, I'll never enter such a boring small minded country. Keep your crap Canada, you boring dolts. To deliver humour something needs to resonate. This flat, pale and completely not funny. It simply makes one feel quite empty and rather sad. When the write and director are one and the same it quite often doesn't come off, lack of collaboration and creative interpretation. In this case the writer/director is just giving the audience a glimpse at his own small mindedness after he's watched 'There's Something About Mary', got excited, but doesn't actually understand how comedy should be developed and delivered on the page. Thus the actors in this little crap piece have very little to use. Which begs the question: why would any actor having read the script accept a role in this misfortune?

This movie was not funny at all and also wasn't even just plain "good" or sexy either. I'm not sure how this even got made. It's like a bunch of people just got in a room together with a camera and said "I bet if we made a movie with the word orgy in it people would give us some money for it!" Terrible movie in all aspects.

So the title grabbed my attention of course but I was not expecting this film to be as hilarious as it is. Keep in mind it's definitely not for everyone but you if you enjoy extremely awkward situational humor & witty dialogue watch this!!

First off, I feel like this movie instantly gets 50% better if you're Canadian. It's cast is made up entirely of a "oh right, I remember her/him from X tv show" for most people in Canada. Also, for those expecting a softcore * film starring alumni from Ginger Snaps, Firefly, Private Eyes and Mutant X I'll say right here you will be very disappointed. Despite the title this movie is mostly about the "planning" part of the orgy rather than the orgy itself. Other than one topless scene with a non-leading actor there's zero nudity. Oh, there's a couple of dudes butts. If you wanted * there's an entire internet of it out there. How To Plan An Orgy In A Small Town is just one of those films where it seems like everyone was having fun making it and enjoying the simple premise to its fullest. Performances across-the-board are rather made-for-tv but given that this isn't a film meant to take seriously it does actually work in the movies favour. There's just enough ham in the delivery that makes the film work but doesn't delve into self-parody. The premise is rather simple: sex columnist Cassie returns to her small town that she was shamed out of town years ago, and in order to prove that the town isn't as dull as Cassie has described it as (in the article that made her famous) her old teenage rival wants Cassie to help plan an orgy. Of course several people have their own reasons for wanting to be in the orgy, and the natural awkwardness is what drives like half the plot. Again, this is a very Canadian film. There's just something innately funny about the way people try to be polite about describing the "stank" of an orgy. I can see how this type of comedy might fall flat if you expected a film with this title to be more vulgar -- the laughs do come from a place of niceness. Helping matters is that the ensemble is rather strong. The entire cast fit their roles perfectly; no one is acting outside their comfort zone. Jewel Staite really does nail the role of Cassie, and it helps that she is so naturally easy to root for no matter what role she plays. Every character is rather one-note but their notes are solid. Bonus points for having Katharine Isabelle not be wasted in this movie. It's a small film with a simple premise, don't go expecting anything more. If the trivia is to be believed it was filmed in just over 2-weeks, mostly in a few houses that are close to each other. Pay attention to the title! I'd say definitely give this a watch if you just want to laugh at the natural awkwardness that comes from trying to plan an orgy with people who are completely alien to the concept, or are a fan of any of the actors involved. It may take awhile for the ultimate "climax" but the ride is enjoyable.

My fella spotted the title so I switched it on. from the title I thought is was either gonna be a soft * poor attempt at titillating housewives or complete garbage. How wrong can a girl be. from the embarrassment of late teens through some clever humour demonstrating the innocence presumptions of people who come to recognise their own shortcomings. The displacement of emotional issues combined with some heartless attempts at realising some very real desires. Mingled together this film allows a couple of hours of pleasant viewing and well worth a watch.
