Considering the premise and title of A Good Old Fashioned Orgy it has all the potential of being a low-brow, gross-out comedy, but that turns out to take up a very small portion of it. Thanks to a solid cast and a good script, it's actually a surprisingly mellow and heartfelt comedy about companionship and about getting older, and it's a great movie for people who grew up in the 80's and early 90's and enjoyed teen comedies from The Breakfast Club onwards. It's definitely much spicier than those movies - if sexual humor or nudity offend you, you should probably stay away. But it's not explicit, offensive or tasteless and the sex itself is portrayed surprisingly realistically. More than anything else, the characters make the movie work - they're rooted in stereotypes, but they're complex and realistic enough to not come across as cheap caricatures or unsympathetic jerks, and they're easy to relate to and get invested in, which makes the movie not just a funny comedy but also a rather sweet feel-good movie about friendship.
