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.....Paul Rudd is a great actor too and I could feel his character was creeped out by the meeting with the father even....The movie handles such a taboo subject perfectly without all the course sex jokes..... ...

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..... ...

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.... ...

PopMatters
My first narrative film of the festival was as bad as it gets, I hope.....an incredible performance can redeem a movie starved of technical and artistic grace.....The film ends abruptly for lack of a better idea.....she seems to relish characters who keep in their emotions like drowning victims pounding on the lake ice above their heads.....concave to shockingly savage moments of violence..... ...

Hartford Courant
Despite a lot of misplaced talent, this movie is as silly and forced as its title.A pity. But the movie does have one surprisingly affecting performance. Rudd is somewhat convincing but unappealing; David's too jumpy, Minnelli's too "up. ... Full Review

Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Talented cast given little to work with....The script, which was co-written by director Billy Kent, has the forced "raciness" of a mid-'70s dinner-theater sex comedy.....Unfortunately, "The Oh in Ohio" isn't the life and times of "Grey's Anatomy" star and "Sideways" scene-stealer Sandra Oh.....The cast does its best.... ...

Humorless sex farce 'OH in Ohio' spells calamity By WILLIAM ARNOLD P-I MOVIE CRITIC In the disastrously unfunny sex farce, "The OH in Ohio," Parker Posey plays Priscilla, a sexually dysfunctional Cleveland professional woman who has never achieved an orgasm in the 10 years of her married life, and has never really missed it. ...
