Review of Orgazmo

Orgazmo (1997)
7/10
Orgazmo and Choda Boy
20 May 2012
Although I've not met many LDS missionaries who were quite as unworldly as Trey Parker, Orgazmo is still a fun movie which combines the unlikely subjects as LDS missionaries and pornography.

The soon to be co-creator of South Park stars as Joe Young, LDS missionary assigned to the Los Angeles beat who stumbles into a porno film shoot and shows some karate moves that impress the producer/director Michael Dean Jacobs. As Parker is looking to have a big blowout of a wedding in the Temple in Salt Lake City he knows it costs big bucks. He takes up the offer to be a porn superhero although he's firm on not having any penetration.

He hits it off with Dian Bachar who plays his Robin the boy wonder sidekick Choda Boy. Bachar is a scientist also, but does porn because he even in his nerd persona gets a lot more sex than he would under normal circumstances. Bachar has also invented a portable addition of what Woody Allen and Diane Keaton would enjoy a few hundred years later in Sleepers. Bachar was my favorite character in the film.

These two grow into their roles with some ultimate method acting as they start to think they're real superheroes. That portable Orgasmatron proves to be quite the weapon. It does what Divine did to Geoff Lewis's whole gang in Lust In The Dust. Villains don't really know how to deal with it.

In the end Parker and Bachar are on a whole different kind of mission.

LDS members might find it offensive, but I wouldn't take Orgazmo all that seriously.
