Reception

The film was a commercial failure, earning back less than 10% of its $5 million budget at the box office.[1] On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 23% approval rating based on 70 reviews, with an average score of 4.7/10 and the website's consensus reads, "A muddled sex-comedy that feels oddly sexless, The Oh in Ohio packs in too many ideas without establishing a clear identity or objective."[2] Dan Callahan of Slant gave the film 0 stars out of 4, calling it an "implausible, weirdly depressed comedy", adding "there isn't one laugh in it".[3] Entertainment Weekly was more favorable, giving the film a 'B−', with Owen Gleiberman describing it as "a silly, amusing trifle".[4] And Joe Leydon of Variety praised it in his upbeat review as an "amusing indie comedy [that] blithely blurs the line between risqué and raunchy, often to hilarious effect."[5]
