- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliBest of all, it proves that there are still directors cut from the John Waters mold who aren't content just to push the envelope -- they rip right through it.
- 67Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovLike everything else Parker puts his mind to -- is equally outlandish, part skewed morality play, part sophomoric slapstick, and wholly ridiculous.
- 60The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe film too closely resembles what it's attempting to spoof--minus the obvious payoffs, of course.
- 60Village VoiceJ. HobermanVillage VoiceJ. HobermanA ridiculous soft-core kung-fu porn film about a ridiculous hard-core one, Orgazmo is the kind of movie that improves according to the lateness of the hour.
- 50San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannSan Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannCheerfully raunchy and undeserving of its prohibitive NC-17 rating, Orgazmo is a harmless sex farce.
- 50San Francisco ExaminerSan Francisco ExaminerOne of those things that probably seems hilarious when a couple of guys are sitting around hashing out the plot over a couple of beers.
- 40The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenFaced an insoluble problem: how do you make a boundary-shattering gross-out farce about the porn business that isn't itself pornographic? Having the actors wear silly costumes embellished with sex toys just won't do the trick.
- 25The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyPretty limp, and works far better in theory than practice.
- 20Film ThreatFilm ThreatThe wackiness that unfolds is boring, ridiculous and, to most, offensive.
- 12Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe very soul of sophomorism. It is callow, gauche, obvious and awkward, and designed to appeal to those with similar qualities.
