“A
thirty-something party animal finds
his social life is about to take a dip when
his father decides to sell the South
Hampton beach house he uses for his
themed gatherings; so there is just time
for one more shindig before the property
is sold — so why not go out with a bang
with A Good Old Fashioned Orgy?”
MAKING FREE USE OF HIS FATHER'S BEACH HOUSE in the affluent Hamptons to hold
huge themed summer social gatherings for his old High School friends, Eric Keppler
(Jason Sudeikis: Horrible Bosses; Hall Pass) has held his successful
White Trash Bash and is looking forward to the next when his father Jerry (the
lovely Don Johnson: Miami Vice) decides to sell the property.
Unable to persuade Jerry to change his mind, Eric and his friend Mike McCrudden
(Tyler Labine: Tucker & Dale Vs Evil; Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes)
plan to go out with a bang and make their last bash in the Hamptons the best
one yet. The question is, how do they top the fantastic parties they have already
had and go out in a blaze of glory? How about… A Good Old Fashioned Orgy?
When he and Mike suggest the orgy to their closest circle of friends, the only
one who immediately agrees is Susan Plummer (Michelle Borth), whom Eric had
dated at high school and who still carries a torch for him. The others are reluctant
and worry about it damaging their friendship.
“Riotous,
naughty,
highly funny,
un-PC and
unexpectedly cool”
Psychotherapist
Alison Lobel (Lake Bell: No Strings Attached; What Happens In Vegas),
who takes her training far too seriously and analyses every situation, at first
sees it as "insane, idiotic and self-destructive" but when she splits from her
over-critical boyfriend Marcus (Rhys Coiro), she re-thinks her position.
As the others gradually come round to his way of thinking, Eric tries to sabotage
the sale of the house by realtors Dody Henderson (Lin Shaye) and Kelly (Leslie
Bibb: Talladega Nights; The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby; Iron Man 2) —
but will the agents sell the house before the deed can be done?
With Jerry preoccupied with his younger girlfriend and Eric's mother out of
the way living with a Reiki healer in Oregon, Eric and his friends begin the
countdown for the big day. They research a sex club, prepare their bodies with
a regular work-out, watch sex videos and read the Kama Sutra.
Despite Eric upsetting newly-married friends Kate (Lucy Punch: Hot Fuzz;
Bad Teacher) and Glenn (Will Forte: Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs;
MacGruber), who would have at least like to have been asked to the orgy,
and an inconveniently blossoming romance between Eric and Kelly, the orgy looks
set to go ahead.
Riotous, naughty, highly funny, un-PC and unexpectedly cool, A Good Old Fashioned
Orgy finds Eric smack dab in the middle of organising an orgy just when
he has found himself with a girl he really digs. This will be a party to beat
all parties as long as they can win a "Star Trek vs Star Wars Battle for the
Universe" to prevent the house being sold. Now they are planning to go boldly
where they have never been before… and even got the T-Shirt!
In spite of the saucy topic, the scriptwriters seem to have successfully avoided
the usual boring toilet humour and kept the tacky scenes to a minimum. Some
male and female nudity and sexual references are inevitable.

Up; Adventureland) as Doug Duquez; Nick Kroll as Adam Richman; Angela Sarafyan
