I saw this movie because of the clever idea which the trailer hinted so well at..that being a woman's search for gratification. Seemed to me to be a fresh approach. Unfortunately this movie used all the jokes associated with that clever... Full review

This movie was skitzoid from beginning to end. With a cast of good and notable actors, it just couldn't convincibly pull off its premise. This was worst than a bad acid trip.... Full review

Saw this movie last weekend based on Time's reviews. Unbelievably bad! The story is bad, the directing is terrible, and Parker Posey had a permanent grin on her face that couldn't have been more inappropriate in virtually every scene. I rarely... Full review

I love Parker Posey and Paul Rudd. Liza was AWESOME. The story started out interesting, then stalled. I really couldn't buy the Parker Posey character hooking up with the likes of Danny Devito -- even if he could give her an... Full review
Danny Devito was mis-cast in this film!!

Danny Devito & Parker Posey had absolutely ZERO chemistry! It was completely unbelieveable watching them act together. It was downright hilarious watching Parker play off him.... you could tell she wasn't into it at all. She must have signed on to... Full review

What gives with the talented Parker Posey? She can make great films with incredible comic timing (example: her great work in Christopher Guest's films) and then barely make a dent with crappy roles in crappy films like "The Oh in... Full review

well I kind of liked it, but my husband hated it. I dont know if it was the fact that a vibrator is better for a lot of girls than a man or that he was comparing her to me haha... Full review

I waited for the DVD to rent it, and am glad I did! The storyline was interesting but there were too many holes in the plot.For example, why did this couple stay married for ten years without going to a... Full review

You begin to understand how a person might never have an orgasm, especially if it takes a good movie to give you one. Just thought you'd like to know that in case you were hoping that this movie might show you a little skin. ... Full Review

This entertaining romantic drama is not just about sex....My other favorite actor in the film was Danny Devito.....Parker Posey was excellent as Priscilla.....Paul Rudd is a great actor too and I could feel his character was creeped out by the meeting with the father even.... ... Full Review

Played with an entirely different tone than the rest of the film, the final third of the film could be a short film all on its own, and a pretty good one at that, as DeVito does a good job of expressing his character's personality and making him worth watching. ... Full Review

The New York Times
A feel-good movie about feeling good, "The Oh in Ohio" thrums with happy vibes and amiable performances.....ends on a water slide with Danny DeVito, here giving a marvelously gentle performance as a roly-poly swimming pool salesman.....A delectable if limited actress, Ms. Posey locates a few real feelings within her usual goofball shtick..... ...

Monsters and Critics
The fact is that this film is a genuinely fresh and new approach to the worn out romantic comedy.....All things considered, the film gets along well enough without it.....Thank goodness for Danny DeVito in the role of Wayne the Pool Guy, a widower who himself has not had sex....But for those who appreciate the dry humor of, for example, Guest.... ...
