Joe is spreading the word about the church of Latter Day Saints one day when he's confronted by two burly bodyguards. A scuffle breaks out, and Joe's martial arts skills impress Maxxx Orbison (Michael Dean Jacobs), who directs pornographic movies. Maxxx offers Joe 20,000 dollars to star in his latest skin flick as X-rated superhero Captain Orgazmo. While Joe is wary, he agrees under the condition that a body double is used during the sex scenes. Ben Chapleski (Dian Bachar), who plays the good captain's sidekick, Choda-Boy, has invented a real-life version of Orgazmo's secret weapon, a gun that stuns people with spasms of sexual ecstasy. When Joe and Ben learn that Maxxx is involved in organized crime, they leap into action to see that justice is served. Meanwhile, their film becomes a surprise crossover success, which means that Joe has a lot of explaining to do to Lisa. Trey Parker cast Orgazmo with a number of real-life adult film stars, including Ron Jeremy, Julie Ashton, and Chasey Lain. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Trey Parker's first full length feature film is a one joke nightmare with jokes that so unimpressive and laugh free that Orgazmo could be recommended as a cure for insomnia. This film a total mess from start to finish, and really isn't funny like Trey Parker's later films such as... read more South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, and Team America: World Police. Orgazmo is a poorly written film that isn't funny. The film relies on one joke the whole film, and I simply can't believe that a comedy written by Trey Parker would be also one of the worst. But it is, but this was made way back when they first started out. The comedic delivery of Trey Parker's and Matt stone's has become more precise and funnier over the years. Orgazmo is a sloppy comedic outing that is poorly written, poorly written and poorly acted. Watching this, I was much looking forward to the ending credits. If you love Trey Parker and Matt Stone's work on South Park and are looking for something different, well this isn't it. Orgazmo is a poor comedy with one laugh throughout the entire film, and the film is poorly done. I hated this film, and I was surprised that Trey Parker and Matt Stone made this. Usually they're funny, but with this one, they scored a mediocre, awful comedy that doesn't deliver and is more boring and stupid than anything I've seen in quite some time. If you're looking for a good comedy, Orgazmo isn't the one. This an awful film that I can't recommend.

    Man, was there ever a broad target that Matt Stone and Trey Parker DIDN'T go after?

    Orgazmo is the kind of movie that is cheesy to the point that it's obviously meant to be that way. You can't watch a movie like this and think even for a second that it is meant to be taken seriously, or even that it takes itself seriously. And all of this is clear just from look... read moreing at the cover box, so you know from the minute that you pick the movie up that you are about to watch an extremely goofball comedy. With that in mind, you can really appreciate Orgazmo for what it is.

    Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the famous creators of South Park and the hilarious BASEketball, have returned with another comedy, this one with much less taste but at least as many laughs. Orgazmo is the story of a Mormon missionary who inadvertently winds up starring in an adult film in Los Angeles, but who never seems to lose his faith. Trey Parker plays Elder Young, the above-mentioned missionary, and also writes and directs this unusually amusing b-movie.

    Orgazmo is a straightforward film that has a very obvious intent. It is aimed at the same audience as other infinitely inferior movies like Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2, but it actually succeeds because its creators have some filmmaking talent that goes beyond a simple purge of every disgusting joke that they learned in fourth grade. Parker and Stone are just naturally funny guys, as has become obvious by now, which is why they have managed to take the potential-free combination of the porn industry and a tiny budget and make it into a hilarious comedy.

    Trey Parker plays Elder Young, a missionary assigned to do his mission work in Hollywood, and in a hilarious run-in with porn director Max Orbison, he ends up defending himself against a gang of thugs and thereby earning a high paying position as the leading man in Orbison's newest porno. Seduced by the offer of a huge amount of money, which he plans to spend on a house for himself and his ridiculous girlfriend (`Jesus and I love you!'), Young agrees to take on the role, provided he doesn't have to do any actual intercourse. Sound like the makings for a great comedy? No? Exactly! That's what makes it so good! This material is total crap, but that's where the comedy comes from! This is a spoof of lots of different types of films, not the least of which are martial arts films, for reasons which you'll just have to watch the movie to see, and it succeeds on many different levels.

    The characters are hilarious (there is a truly classic moment when Choda Boy explains to Young that, believe it or not, he doesn't get a lot of action from women. The fact that he's strapping a dildo to the top of his head might have something to do with that.), and there are just some great scenes. The movie is aware of its place, and it doesn't try to pretend that it is something that it's not. Get a bunch of your buddies together and have a couple beers while you watch this movie, you'll love it.

    Pretty silly movie. Parody of a squeaky clean Mormon who needs money to get married and finds a job as a porn star.
  • September 18, 2008
    How can you not love a film about a Mormon who does Porno to raise money to get married in the temple?
  • October 23, 2007
    I should hate this movie, since i'm mormon, but it's pretty funny in some parts. Still, I don't really need to see it again.

    I don't know what it is with Trey Parker and Mormons, but he has fun with them. This is another entry to add to your "Insanity On Film" DVD library. It's really really funny though and earns its spot of craziness among Sheitan and Fear and Loathing.
  • March 2, 2007
    Not their most popular movie, but easily one of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's funniest.
  • February 23, 2007
    A brilliantly stupid and funny movie from the makers of South Park. The premise of a Mormon porn star is sure to raise a chuckle and its played brilliantly by Trey Parker. Loved it.

    Sheer enjoyable ridiculousness. But what do you expect from Trey Parker and Matt Stone?

If you're already a fan, consider the Special Edition DVD a must-own; if you've never seen Orgazmo before, be sure to make it a rental first. And hide the kiddies. Full Review

Perhaps the movie's single biggest joke is its NC-17 rating, which it must have earned solely for raunchy dialogue. The nudity is anything but erotic. Full Review

A film that isn't as funny as it should be, but should have been seen by more people.

This movie confirms Trey Parker as the Orson Welles of absurd comedy. Full Review
