If you're even remotely interested in either comedy, animation or TV-shows, you must have heard of Trey Parker and Matt Stone – the genius creators of the famous South Park. But just like every other successful person, they had to start somewhere. Parker and Stone started their careers by creating low budget comedy movies. The first full-length movie they created was the 1993 black comedy named Cannibal! The Musical aka Alferd Packer: The Musical and then, several years after, in 1997, they finished the interestingly named comedy Orgazmo. Orgazmo, while not being a particularly good movie, is a good early example of Parker and Stone's distinguished sense of humour.
Orgazmo is about a young Mormon named Joe Young (Trey Parker) who is in a happy relationship with his fiancée Lisa. They plan on getting wedded in some church or something, but unfortunately they have no money to do so. However, Joe, for no apparent reason, has extremely good fighting skills, which come in handy when a porn director named Maxxx Orbison (Michael Dean Jacobs) sees him beating up a couple of guys and decides to hire him in his newest porn/super-hero movie. Joe reluctantly accepts, but says he will only do the actual acting, none of the intercourse. They agree on using a 'stunt cock' to film all his sex scenes. And so Joe finds himself playing the title role of Orbinson's newest movie – Orgazmo.
The premise of the movie is very silly and very 'South Park-esque', if I may add. But what works in animation, doesn't necessarily work in non-animated movies – especially when it comes to humour. And the humour in Orgazmo is very versatile – there's toilet humour, there's spoof humour, there's self-parodying (the movie deliberately looks bad from time to time) and there's original jokes. When a movie has so many different types of humour in it, it's hard to enjoy every one of them. The toilet humour is the one that bothered me the most and I found those jokes to be the least funny ones. Apart from that, I did laugh quite a few times.
The acting in Orgazmo is classic 'low budget-trashy' and it doesn't want to be anything more. However, the interesting thing is that a big number of actors starring in Orgazmo are actual porn stars – the most prominent being Ron Jeremy and Chasey Lain. All in all, Orgazmo is just another trash movie that may be fun but truly isn't anything special. If you are a die hard fan of South Park/Trey Parker/Matt Stone, do check out this early creation, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised. As for the rest of you, the only thing that will quite possibly entertain you is Orgazmo's goofy title.
