Day Five at the FFM: Tuesday, August 29th

One full length film tonight (Tuesday).

The OH in Ohio. Billy Kent. USA. 88 minutes. In English. As Nathan Lee in the New York Times said, “…(this film) is the rare American sex comedy that doesn’t involve teenagers making love to pastry…” This indie film is about one woman’s quest for the only thing missing in her life..an orgasm. Parkey Posey is Priscilla Chase, a Cleveland business woman with a biology high school teacher husband Jack, whom she loves, but doesn’t come with. Jack can’t bear the fact that he can’t satisfy his wife, and the marriage falls apart. He’s off on an affair with a student of his, and Priscilla’s hell bent to find out how to come. Great lines, and Heather Graham as the vibrator store clerk (uncredited) is hilarious. A cameo by Liza Minelli doing a Shirley MacLaine-ish new age masturbation expert was perfect sardonic casting. And Danny Devito, as the Wayne the Pool Guy, brings everything to a satisfactory climax. You can groan now. We both laughed a lot.
