What's so real about you?

How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town (2015)
Chosen by me from netflix because I love Katherine Isabelle and Jewel Staite and more cynically because the word orgy will get me more hits.


A sort of safe middle of the road raunch for bored middle class white people.
On the one hand it seems to be critiquing slut shaming but is ultra conservative about pairing everybody off (the pull between sex comedy/romance comedy/indie comedy an uncomfortable fit) in the finale but doesnt really make a case for why that should be a good thing.
It begins with an (aborted) sex scene where a condom is brought out but never during the 'teaching how to orgy' bits is safe sex practices mentioned once (possibly because it would ruin a rather strained plot point).
Intermittently funny, and Katherine Isabelle really should be a bigger star but not exactly a hidden gem.
