This movie is exactly what I expected. An American Beauty type-flick with a lighter indie feel. Paul Rudd is magnificent as a burnt out, depressed 30-something high school teacher who can't sexually satisfy his wife. Parker P is her usual competent self. She gets to tap into her comedic side as a Rudd's spouse - discovering her own sexuality, understanding her own emotional needs, and having orgasms at very inappropriate times (you'll see). Mischa Barton plays the Mena Suvari role - nothing to write home about; Keith David is frickin' hilarious; and Danny Devito is Danny Devito. So, you've got an acceptable combo and a Netflix worthy rental.
Unfortunately, although you've the standard elements, great direction, and some truly poignant moments, The Oh in Ohio ends up sinking towards the end. There's no connection between the 2 leads Rudd and Posey so there's no dramatic conflict for our audience. Will they end up together?
Who cares?
About 75% into the film, the charm of everyone started to wear off and I hoped it would end. And it ended with a D in Disappointment.
