Are You Ready for 'A Good Old Fashioned Orgy'?
Filed under: Comedy, Casting, Deals, Scripts
I'd probably go to see A Good Old Fashioned Orgy just for the title. It's got punch, and it is a great, brief description of what's to come. It sort of reminds me of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas for a new generation. But the story is different, and instead of a big-busted country singer, we're getting a little slice of Saturday Night Live. Variety reports that Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte, and Leslie Bibb have signed on to star in the film, which will be directed by co-writers Pete Huyck and Alex Gregory (King of the Hill).Sudeikis will star as a 30-year-old dude with wealthy parents. However, he's "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." Yes, it's an orgy. I guess he doesn't mind seeing all his friends nude, or bumping bare butts with a buddy.
There's great potential for this flick, which begins production this month in North Carolina. But it makes me wonder -- how long until we get another sex-centered comedy? Sex comedies used to be more about the thinking, and then maybe the doing, but now we've got both an orgy and Zack and Miri Make a Porno on the way. What's next?

Hmm... 30 year old spoiled brat forced to grow into an adult by his father who owns a large company.
Didn't I already watch Billy Madison?

The concept is nothing like Billy Madison. And for that matter, if every movie with "son with rich parent forced to grow up" as a plot point was assumed as generic, Billy Madison would have never been made. It's about an orgy, and in no way revolves around him trying to prove anything to his dad. Sounds very little like Billy Madison actually.

I just threw up in my mouth.
Not a little.
A lot.
