Orgazmo

The Boston Phoenix

DIRECTED BY: Trey Parker

REVIEWED: 10-26-98

If the sight of Trey Parker in a superhero costume under a 300-pound naked woman tickles your funnybone, if the repetition of the term "stuntcock" or someone suggesting going out for sushi during the filming of a five-way sex scene is the apex of hilarity, get help -- Orgazmo is for you. Written and directed by Trey Parker of South Park fame, this film proves that kaka humor taken to its logical extreme is just kaka.

Parker plays a Mormon named Joe Young who takes on a porn-film role in order to finance his Temple wedding with toothy, shrieking fiancée Lisa (Robyn Lynne Raab). Captain Orgazmo is a superhero who disables bad guys by making them come with a blast from his "Orgazmorator." Making people laugh is another challenge altogether. With his South Park sidekick Matt Stone playing a smitten crew member ("Not that I'm a queer or anything," he begins every inanity) in a pitiful poke at Boogie Nights, this tedious trash was rated NC-17 for no apparent reason other than that it's unwatchable for viewers of all ages.
