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.
The Oh in Ohio was the first feature film from director
Billy Kent, who previously established himself making television commercials.
