In high school Cassie Cranston was slut-shamed out of the wholesome and repressed town of Beaver’s Ridge following a humiliating attempt at losing her virginity. Now, years later, a big city sex columnist, Cassie returns home to bury her mother and finds a chance for revenge when her prudish childhood nemesis insists she helps her old friends plan an orgy.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It's about social anxiety, with Lalonde and his strong ensemble cast smartly illustrating the tyranny of expectations, in and out of the bedroom.

fresh:
More precious than pornographic, a light and ultimately charming dramedy about your friends and neighbours.

rotten:
Despite its provocative title, How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town isn't particularly sexy. More troubling, it's not very funny either.

rotten:
All of this is sporadically funny and cheerfully tasteless in its low-budget way, but it's also unevenly acted, a bit overlong and never quite as daring as it seems to want to be.
