I have been reading all the comments about Cleveland; some good, some bad, but I truly wish that I was back there now! I moved from Strongsville, Ohio to Reno, Nevada in June of 2005 and Nevada is such a highly overrated state! The pay out here is lousy and and the weather is too hot. The people are very rude and the drivers speed and tailgate so bad. I wish that I would have never left Ohio in the first place, but I wanted better weather, but now I realize that the grass isn't always greener on the other side, as they say! If you live in Ohio, don't knock it, because prices in Ohio are cheaper than anywhere I know. Gas prices in Nevada stink, the apartments are so expensive and the fast-food restaurants really cook terrible! Ohio food is good and there is no tax on take out food, as there is here! Ohio has much more to do than the state of Nevada; there are no parks here and I miss the greenery and the nice people from the state of Ohio. If you're thinking of moving out West, think again, because it's highly overpriced and it's not what is seems! I probably will move back home next year, and I look forward to moving back to Strongsville, regardless of the snow. The thing that I miss the most is my radio station, WMJI, with Lannigan & Malone, and there great jokes in the morning to start your day; the stations out West really stink and I look forward to WMJI radio when I return. All you Ohio haters, better look at what you have now and be happy!

Thank god i got to see this thing for free! this is probably one of the worst films i've seen in a long time! everything from the dialog, to comedic timing, to continuity, to cinematography...SUCKED! i cant even begin to explain how much this film blows. Parker Posey delivered one of the worst performances of her career. Paul Rudd's character is so unbelievable, i'd be shocked to find that he ever works in this town again. Mischa Barton actually did a pretty decent job. Or maybe its because everybody else sucked so bad! Devito probably took this role because he hasn't had an on-screen kiss since Twins! he was at his all time worst. Keith David was probably the only saving grace in this film. He was awesome, as always. But there is only so much one actor can do to save a horrible film. bottom line, don't waste your money in the theater, or at the video store...wait till one of your friends buys it at the 99 Cent Store...and borrow it. Billy Kent owes me 88 minutes of my life back!

I see why this movie went straight to video. Who in their right mind would choose Danny DeVito over Paul Rudd? Did the director see them without shirts? Anyway, this movie is a poor excuse of film making. It tries to be something it is not (mainly funny and aimed at adults). The ending comes out of nowhere and makes Paul Rudd's character seem like the antagonist when it is the wife who jacking up on her * and sleeping with every guy who walks around. Also, is that the only thing this woman has going for her - an *? And sticking a pager inside herself, why is that funny? It was a bad ripoff of Absolutely Fabulous. If this is what passes for adult comedies in Hollywood, no wonder Indie films are getting awards.

I may sound a bit harsh, but this flop of a movie doesn't really deserve a comment. It was like a series of unrelated scenes created from a joke compendium. Admittedly, I did laugh, and if that was the film's only purpose, then it was reasonably successful in achieving it. However, the actors in it are obviously more talented than the weak script warrants, and the issue of sexual dysfunction could indeed have been treated in a way that is both humorous and at the same time enlightening - something the film failed completely at. Instead, the motivations of the characters were initially presented and then left unexplored. I am still wondering why the husband left so abruptly, and then why Priscilla didn't give it a second shot. Danny De Vito was possibly in his worst role ever as "Wayne the Pool Guy", and what was really mysterious, and in my opinion the weakest point of the movie: why did Priscilla fall in love with him (or did she, or was she just using him, like all the other men in her recent escapades?), what did Wayne the Pool Guy have that her husband didn't? A comedy doesn't have to answer all our questions, but it should at least cohere a bit. If I hadn't seen this film, my life would not be any the poorer for it. As to a * addiction, I would advise prospective consumers to tell this movie to "buzz off". But of course now I've aroused their curiosity instead...

In Ohio, Priscilla Chase (Parker Posey) is the VP of a company that works bringing new business to Cleveland. She has been married for more than ten years with Jack Chase (Paul Rudd), the biology teacher from the local public school. Priscilla is successful in her career but is frigid and has never reached an *, hurting her frustrated husband. When Priscilla decides to buy a *, Jack is seduced by his teenage student Kristen Taylor (Mischa Barton) and recovers his self-esteem, working out, losing weight and dressing adequately. Priscilla has new sexual experiences and becomes closer to Wayne the Pool Guy (Danny DeVito), the constructor of swimming pools in her neighborhood since she was a child. The new relationships upgrade the personal and professional lives of Priscilla and Jack. I loved the delightful and unknown "The Oh in Ohio" for many reasons. The story and screenplay touches in the problem of women that are orgasmic dysfunctional in a respectful way, in spite of being a comedy. Parker Posey is perfect and I believe this is one of her best recent roles and performances recalling her beginning of career. The underrated Paul Rudd is also great, showing magnificent chemistry with Parker Posey and with the gorgeous and sexy Mischa Barton. Danny DeVitto is excellent as usual. The promising director Billy Kent directs this little gem with sensibility, giving right doses of comedy, drama, romance and even eroticism to the film. Summarizing, I recommend this movie for viewers that expect a refreshing romantic comedy. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "Em Busca do Prazer" ("Looking For Pleasure")

I just saw this movie's official world premier at South By South West in Austin. It was so well done. Parker Posey, Paul Rudd and Danny DeVito did a wonderful job with a script that was funny but also very honest and free from a lot of pitfalls that have hurt other movies. The movie was never gratuitous. There are two major plots going on at once, Parker Posey's character, "Priscilla", and Paul Rudd's "Jack" each go their separate ways for most of the movie but director Billy Kent skillfully brings a great balance to the two halves and when they interact once more at the end the result is extremely satisfying.

What gives with the talented Parker Posey? She can make great films with incredible comic timing (example: her great work in Christopher Guest's films) and then barely make a dent with crappy roles in crappy films like "The Oh in Ohio". This movie, which is about a young woman's quest for the elusive *, is pretty much the same territory explored in "ShortBus" this year, right down to the same joke involving accidental triggering of a *. I bought this film used, and should have suspected that it was a turkey if it was being sold at rental stores a mere four weeks after its DVD release. Indeed it is a turkey. Whyt Liza Minnelli, Paul Rudd, and Heather Graham would even want to be part of this escapes me. Parker? Get a better agent...fast!

"The Oh in Ohio" While chill'n pool side at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas at the 2006 SXSW Film Fest I had the good fortune of meeting Sarah Kent, co-writer & lovely beautiful wife of Billy Kent, the very funny, talented, & modest director of "The Oh in Ohio"! Ironically, I had no idea at the time how 'swimming pools' would play a huge part of not only our meeting, but in "the Oh in Ohio", a comedy that adults young & old should see. Back in the day, way back in the day in L.A., I wanted to work for the biggest writer/producer/director in the Holly-weird, just to learn the ropes & maybe, just maybe meet the cast from the TV show "Taxi". well my dreams at the time came true... I was very fortunate to land a p.a. gig as a coffee boy slash beeper slave; slash loyal office assist to James L. Brooks on the Fox lot and on a rare occasion, I assisted him with his pool at the house. Sure enough as the sun rises & sets, I eventually met most of the cast from "Taxi" & learned quite a bit about life & art, especially about "writing what you know", one of the most important things Jim Brooks ever suggested I do! Enter Adam Wierzbianski, the main-stay on the writing credits of "The Oh in Ohio". Somewhere between Adam, Billy & Sarah, they came up w/what reminded me in some odd way of a familiar style, much like my first mentor in the biz. The second bit of advice that Jim Brooks gave me was "Find a loyalty & balance in the ensemble of the life of the actors that you work with & the characters they portray". Kudos' to the cast & crew from "The Oh in Ohio", they did it! Director Billy Kent, the producers Amy Salka Robertson, Francey Grace, Miranda Bailey, the writers, & a brilliant crew & cast, especially Parker Posey, Paul Rudd, the hilarious Micha Barton, the amazing Danny DeVito, as none other than 'Wayne, the pool guy', & last & certainly not least Liza Minnelli, in what could be her come back role as 'the master of *' slash sex therapist-guru :) What a grand world premiere "OH" had at the Paramount Theatre, the oldest & most beautiful theatre in Austin; receiving a standing ovation! It was absolutely fantastic, striking a comedy cord & some very poignant questions from the standing room only audience during the 'q & a', & believe you me, Austin is one of the smartest audiences to premiere too! The loyal & humble cast & crew stretched the length of the stage, as questions & compliments were paid to a well deserving & very humble ensemble of players. "The Oh in Ohio" not only explores sexual fantasies, while tickling the tantric funny bone, but also, busts the average stereo-type wide open; sometimes the average guy gets the babe in the end; and Cleveland never looked better. ;) I can't give the story away, ya gotta catch it on the big screen at festivals or when it's released in the cinemas & or on DVD. Thanks to James L. Brooks for all his yrs of entertainment that he's given us, & best to Director Billy Kent, cast & crew; Billy has a big future ahead of him! See "The Oh in Ohio"! writer/actor/filmmaker: Steve Bilich

I too saw this at SXSW and while the film did get some laughs I attributed it more to a typical "friendly" festival screening. This is in no way a good movie. How they got this cast for a screenplay like this is surprising. Fist-time Director Billy Kent lives up to his first time billing by doing nothing to liven up the limp dialog and sitcom storyline either. My girlfriend and I couldn't figure out why we are supposed to care about Parker Posey's character. Save for Paul Rudd's nice performance there is little to recommend about this weak attempt. It all feels so much a rehash of other, better (and equally bad) films. Lame dick / * jokes and using a pager as a * all seem pretty tired.

I am not going to tell you about the plot because there's no plot at all. After the movie ended quite awkwardly, I couldn't help to ask: what the heck is this movie trying to say? It appears like a sex comedy, but the * thing is not funny at all, and the * during the meeting is so old that it becomes quite embarrassing. The affairs between the husband and the student, the wife becomes a *, and the huge swimming pool of DeVito, all have nothing to do with the main story - wait, actually there's no story at all! Fortunately it runs less than 80 mins. This is a definitely NOT a SEX COMEDY, don't be deceived by the tag lines.
