When men give birth to children ( in real life) and a group of 30ish friends ( on celluloid) get blood tests and then run sexually wild, what can one say, except that the human race must be slouching towards perdition? Such a shame that someone as cute as Jason Sudeikis is saddled with execrable flicks like the film under review.
And Hall Pass, where he was whooping it up with Owen Wilson, doing whatever they wanted in one week of freedom ... no questions asked.
Now in this new chapter in the saga of American sexcess, Sudeikis reprises good- natured persona.Thats the whole trouble.See how the cunning screenwriter passes off the promiscuous as good- natured, well- meaning sorts.
Fact is , theres nothing good or old fashioned about an orgy and citing ancient Roman histories of wild sex romps as this film does, does nothing to justify emulation.Heed the wise men who warn of lust- filled ugly countenances, do not be misled by the benign expressions of the motley crew that participates in group sex.
Like Hot Sluts and other ( mainline, not porn ) films with unmentionable titles, the title of this film promises loads of lewd laughter. But theres nothing remotely funny to me at least about a group of adults who take part in an orgy after spending every weekend attending theme parties at their friend Erics ( Jason Sudeikis) family home. Whats the genesis? Erics dad ( still yummy Don Johnson of Miami Vice) decides to sell off the house, and Eric decides to celebrate the sad event with '' a good old fashioned orgy.'' Hoo boy.
