Summary: Priscilla Chase (Posey), a young Cleveland woman, seems to have it all -- the perfect job, the perfect house, the perfect husband (Rudd) -- except for in bed, where sex has always left her a bit short of the finish line.

Wesley Morris

It's a thrill to watch Posey incorporate, at last, some true emotion into her exuberant screwball wit. Read full review

Nathan Lee

A feel-good movie about feeling good, The Oh in Ohio thrums with happy vibes and amiable performances. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

I'm not really sure how strong this material is on its own: I kept trying to imagine what The Oh in Ohio would have been like with other actors in the leading roles, and I couldn't -- Rudd, DeVito and especially Posey seem integral to it. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Director Billy Kent seems to have instructed most of his actors to behave like robotic sitcom characters; the principal exception is Danny DeVito, who simply behaves like Danny DeVito. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

Posey and Rudd are the real deal, so it's almost sad when Priscilla and Jack are left hanging in the final act, their issues unresolved. It's as if the filmmakers lost their nerve when it came time to write the kind of intimate, revealing conversation that can make a sex toy unnecessary. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Even Posey -- who brightens most movies she's in -- fails to stir the movie's unresponsive tectonic plates. Read full review

William Arnold

Disastrously unfunny sex farce. Read full review

Fabulous! Funny, clever and original! So great to see a comedy that hasn't been produced/directed by committee--a truly individual piece of artistic talent! Bravo!

Classic line - "We incorporate a lot of technology in our love life." For the women - see it. For the men - see it with your woman, less you want to contribute to Duracell competing with Exxon to be the most profitable company in the world.

I always thought of the Hi in Ohio, but the Oh is a splendid story about real life whether one is in Cleveland or anywhere in the world! The cast was great, no violence, just genuine everyday people with their own struggles. I will tell many about this film. Transplanted Clevelander in SF East Bay.

I was pleasantly surprised at this movie. It was funny and cute, the ending was random and quick. But I still thought it was a very enjoyable and raunchy movie. I'd recommend it for sure. Good for any occasion.
