Joe Young is a Mormon, spreading the word of Jesus Christ in Los Angeles. He stumbles upon a house where they are shooting a pornographic movie, and despite his beliefs, finds the lure of compensation too good to turn down a role.Trey Parker and Matt Stone had only just begun "South Park" when this film was released. The acting is cheesy, the lines are over-acted, but there's something just really funny about the movie. Like their even more amateur production, "Cannibal", they don't require a big budget to make things funny.You might have to find Mormons or porn funny to really appreciate this film. I don't know. Of course, if you are opposed to porn or are Mormon, you probably should stay away from it, because you're likely to get offended. While tamer than you might expect, it is by no means a clean film.

I've seen Orgazmo many times and I always have to chuckle over it. The beginning of the film is fantastic: filled with zingers, and the furious fists of a Mormon martial artist. The concept is fresh: a young Mormon acolyte on a mission tries to make money for a special wedding ceremony by appearing in pornographic films. Director/Writer/Star Trey Parker is great as the innocent Joe, and his South Park partner-in-crime Matt Stone as photographer Dave steals every scene that he's in. The film stalls a bit just before the climactic final scenes but overall, it is very funny and really not as offensive as detractors of Parker and Stone would have you believe. Well worth it for fans of their series, and for people who like their comedy irreverent.

This film is very silly, very stupid, and very funny. Thanks to writer/director Trey Parker, we can view at the industry known as Porno in a way that is not as serious as in Boogie Nights. The film takes some turn as that are known to happen in these types of movies, but it is even more humorous than in the others. Not to mention Parker teams up with his South Park co-star Matt Stone as a guy who doesn't want to sound like a queer or nothing. Along with a funny cast of supporting characters, this may not be Parker and Stone's best achievement yet- matter of fact in a way it lacks the polish that their first collaboration Cannibal the Musical had- it's still a worthy effort with enough laughs to make it worthwhile. If only once, as a teen. B
