New York Post Jonathan Foreman
Its bawdy honesty eventually gives way to convention, sentimentality and a frustratingly silly ending.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Michael Atkinson
Davis has energy, but she doesn't bother to make her heroine's book sound convincing, the gender-war ideas original, or the comic scenes fly. Instead, the film is buttressed by song montages and jokey chapter titles.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
The orgasm, it turns out, is low on the list of Amy's issues. The title is faked.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Eric Campos
Will strike a chord with people having mid-life love crises. Maybe for them, this film will stand as a sign that love is out there and it will prevail. As any other type of audience goes, I dont think theyll find that this love works.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dave Kehr
This movie is Ms. Davis's fourth film as a director, and she has a bright, chipper style that keeps things moving, while never quite managing to connect her wish-fulfilling characters to the human race. Like someone who smiles too much, Amy's Orgasm seems rather sad at heart.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
Davis not only wrote and directed the film but edited it as well, all of which is no mean feat. Too bad she couldn't have lent some of her own gumption and self-assurance to her pathetic heroine.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Paul Malcolm
It's supposed to be post-feminist breezy but ends up as tedious as the chatter of parrots raised on Oprah.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
There's definitely room for a female Woody Allen, an accolade garnered by a previous film. However, Amy's Orgasm is chirpy, shrill and coarse, more in the vein of one of Allen's more depressed periods.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Erin Meister
Julie Davis, tries desperately to fill (Woody)Allen's Coke-bottle glasses, but it fails. Miserably.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marrit Ingman
There's a bright spot in the form of Amy's publicist (screen veteran Aaron), a salty, whiskey-voiced lesbian; it's a pity the movie isn't about her.
Read Full Review >New Times (L.A.) Jean Oppenheimer
There is something distinctly self-satisfied about Amy's Orgasm that rubs the viewer the wrong way. The film should come with a warning label: Vanity project ahead!

A truly excellent movie.
Jessica L. gave it a 9:
So funny! And very realistic! I am looking for quotes about relationships and men and looking for them in this movie. The only thing that could've been changed was the length of the movie.. A little drawn out.
David S. gave it a 10:
I just saw this movie on the "small" screen. I loved it...but then, I am a romantic at heart. I hope Ms. Davis will keep writing and directing, but most importantly, staring in roles in which we can see her soon. Thanks!
