Virtually unwatchable

I was living in Utah when this film came out and garnered some controversy for its inaccurate depiction of Mormons. I didn't get to see it until it was on cable a couple years later and I watched out of curiosity, hoping it would be at least a semi-accurate satire about the Mormon faith. I was appalled and embarrassed by this poorly made film. If the creators are going to skewer a religious community for whatever kicks they have...at least do it right! They got so many of the facts wrong, that they lacked any kind of credibility at all.

One point: Mormons don't have to pay to have a wedding in one of their temples, so that blew the premise of an LDS Missionary needing money to have his wedding in the "pricey" Salt Lake City Temple. Considering that becoming a porno actor would actually cause the Mormon missionary to be disfellowshipped/excommunicated from his church, he wouldn't be able to have a wedding in any Mormon temple. If the producer/writer/director couldn't get their fact straight on that one point, the whole premise of the film falls flat.

The acting is horrible, the story is too outlandishly raunchy and non-sensical. This really is one of the worst films I've ever seen (and I'm not even Mormon!). I will give this film one bit of credit though...because of its controversy in Utah and the anger it aroused among Mormons for their false portrayal of their faith community, I'm certain that this film launched a Mormon film industry that has tapped into the talents and stories of Mormons all along the Wasatch front. My advice...skip this movie and watch "God's Army", "The Otherside of Heaven", "Singles Ward", "The RM", and most of all, the one must-see Mormon film of all: "The Best Two Years". In those films, you will find much better stories, better acting, and a more accurate portrayal of Mormons than "Orgazmo"--a film that only wasted money and celluloid.

**To the individual who keeps voting not helpful, amazon asks you if the review is helpful, not if you agree with the review. Trust me people, this movie is bad. If you want to see a film about Mormons and forbidden sex, watch "Latter Days". This one is a serious waste of celluloid, and no amount of "unhelpful votes" is going to change a shoddy film into a work of art.
