The Oh in Ohio (2006)

The Oh in OH-NO!

Finally a Lido ticket in my blog. Its been some time since i caught a movie there. I still remember the rocking seats and the reknowned i-don't-give-a-damn attitude of the box office aunties. Not forgeting that you can bring absolutely anything inside to eat. That's how movie going should be! Sorry i think i am saying irrelevant stuff but hey this is what the movie is about. Irrelevance!

Parker Posey is Priscilla Chase, a beautiful and successful woman. She is married, has a beautiful car and a nice house. What she lacks is, to put it explicitly, an orgasm. Yes, she is suffering from sexual dysfunction. However, she does not think it is a big deal. Only if she knows that kind of torment she is putting on her husband, Jack Chase ( Paul Rudd of The 40 year old virgin fame).

As you see, Jack is hell bent on giving his wife the orgasm. His inability to give his wife one is making him sink deeper into depression and just to quote what he says: "No dick, no life." Thats how important to him and everyday he goes to school teaching lifelessly. Thats when Kristen Taylor (Mischa Barton) comes in. She can see that he is having a tough time and offers help. What kind of help? Can she help him discover the finishing touch, so that his wife can achieve a climax?

Truth to be told, some of the jokes in this movies are actually quite funny. However as time goes by, the movie seems to run out of steam (and i thought it is suppose to be steamy) and although the cast is not bad, the story betrays the effort of the cast. The final scene of the movie is like a low blow of epic proportions. How should i describe it? Well, it can be compared with premature ejaculation. The ending came at a wrong time.

2/5
