A woman gets a belated introduction to the joy of sex in this comedy. Priscilla (Parker Posey) is a thirtysomething public-relations agent with the unenviable job of trying to lure new businesses to Cleveland, OH. Priscilla is married to Jack (Paul Rudd), a high-school teacher who is reaching the end of his patience with his career. Things aren't going especially well at home for Priscilla and Jack -- she seems unable to have an orgasm, and while Priscilla insists she's perfectly happy with their sex life, Jack is driven to distraction by his inability to arouse his wife. When Kristen (Mischa Barton), one of Jack's students, begins displaying an extra-curricular interest in him, he throws caution to the wind and begins an affair with her, and has soon moved out of the house. Left on her own, Priscilla finally begins feeling sexual frustration, and turns to Alyssa (Liza Minnelli), an outspoken sex therapist who advises her to learn how to pleasure herself. Alyssa's advice proved to be right on the money, and soon Priscilla is a changed women who is looking for a new man in her life. She soon finds one in Wayne (Danny DeVito), a swimming-pool salesman whose sloppy appearance belies his talent in the bedroom.

    More like "The Eh In Ohio"... there was a lot of room for humor, but it wasn't that funny. The ending ruined it for me... was hanging on to the main character the whole movie, hoping for resolution, then disgusted with her when the credits rolled. You shouldn't walk away from a movie in this genre feeling like that.

    It had some moments, but it definitely had places that could have been a lot funnier. Mischa Barton is a cutie, but never gets quite nude enough, if that's what you are hoping for. Not an entire waste of an hour and a half - but not truly engaging either.

    It was exactly all about the title. I thought it would have some redeeming value since it was recommended to me. The wife sets out on a quest to find joy and please herself and her husband. He so selfishly is concerned with his own inability to please his wife he cheats on her... Does this make sense to you? If so dont get married. ____While it is a comedy with some funny parts.. It could have been written by teen who just discovered the words sexual and dysfunction in sex ed class.
