Continuing in the Parker/Stone tradition of pulling no punches with any subject or target, Orgazmo is a very funny movie.
A pair of young Mormon missionaries finds themselves knocking on the wrong door. When the owner tells his goons to 'get rid of them' the goons take it how goons would, and we are introduced to our hero...one of the missionaries (Trey Parker) whips all four goons while his partner makes his escape. The movie producer sees this and offers our hero a role in his new movie...enticing our hero Joe Young with enough money for him to be able to marry his sweetheart in the Temple in Salt Lake City.
The fact that this is a pornographic movie of course deters Joe, but the fact he will get to wear a mask and will have a...stunt double...for scenes he doesn't want anything to do with, sway him to go ahead and take the job.
Of course, our charitable movie producer isn't really so charitable. Also we find that the actor who will play Joe Young's sidekick (Dian Bachar) is a genius who invents stuff, and lo and behold he has just recently managed to create a very real Orgasmatron, the fictional weapon the movie hero wields.
From there it is a rather simple story line delivered with low-brow hilarity.
Look for a variety of real porn stars included in the cast, and if you can get ahold of a DVD that has the extras and learn the story of them making the movie and trying to get it distributed. It makes a good comparison of how indie filmmakers get treated differently than larger movie studios, as well as interesting comments regarding the difference between 'regular' Hollywood types versus the porn industry.
