JOE YOUNG is a Mormon missionary who, with his partner,
finds lots of doors slammed in his face. One elderly woman is friendly and
discusses her garden, but when he tells her he is LDS, she calls him a
soul-stealer and tells him to fuck off.
MAXX ORBISON is a porn producer shooting a film, ORGAZMO,
about a superhero who beats up bad guys and disables them with orgasm inducing
rays. Maxx has a problem--his leading man is an unconvincing wimp. When Joe and
his partner knock on Maxx's door, Maxx is so pissed off at being interrupted he
orders his henchmen to beat them up. However, the Mormon boy knows karate and
trashes the henchmen. Maxx is so impressed, he wants to hire Joe as his new
leading man, and will pay him $10,000 dollars for a few days' work.
You have to understand that Joe is the kind of guy who says
goodbye to his fiancée, LISA, with the phrase "Jesus and I love you."
How can he take money for that kind of work? But Lisa wants to get married in
the main Utah
temple, which requires big bucks. Joe asks a little statue of Jesus for a sign,
whereupon a small earthquake knocks the statue over, but that isn't clear
enough for poor Joe. After much haggling, Orbison agrees to provide a 'stunt
cock' for the actual vaginal penetration, and Joe agrees to become Orgazmo.
Needless to say, this will not go smoothly.
This flick is as funny as South Park, so it's no surprise it has the same
writers, Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
The plot is silly and unrealistic, the characters are caricatures, grossness
abounds, and even the fight scenes are obviously staged. Who cares? It's satire
and it's hilarious. The film is not kind to the LDS church, but it isn't mean,
either; in spite of his faults, Joe is basically a good guy.
The film has
gotten a lot of bad write-ups, but those reviewers must have taken it too
seriously. I laughed out loud during most of it. I give it ++++. It will get
your pulse up to at least a run.
