Oh, Ramona! (2019)

You can’t just a book by its cover but audiences can judge a motion picture but it’s exciting title. As such, savvy filmmakers lure moviegoers in by adding an exclamation point to the marquee. How else can you explain the plentiful punctuation on Viva Zapata! (1952); Oklahoma! (1955); Bandolero! (1968); Oliver! (1968); Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970); Airplane! (1980); Zapped! (1982); Three Amigos! (1986); Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1989); To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995); Mars Attacks! (1996); Love! Valour! Compassion! (1997); Moulin Rouge! (2001); Mamma Mia! (2008); Everybody Wants Some!! (2016); Hail, Caesar! (2016); Mother! (2017); Oh Lucy! (2018), and Shazam! (2019)? Of course, we would be remiss not to include Oh, Ramona! (2019) on this list. The Romanian coming-of-age romp is based on the book “Suck It, Ramona!” by comedian Andrei Ciobanu (who co-wrote the screenplay with Alex Cotet and the film’s director Cristina Jacob). The story centers around a young man named Andrei (Bogdan Iancu) so you could say the movie is semi-autobiographical — emphasis on semi! As Andrei steps into adulthood, he tiptoes through the tulips with two loves. Even though he has a crush on Ramona (Aggy K. Adams), he has better luck with Anemona (Holly Horne) since she’s charmed by his sincerity and awkwardness. Speaking for the staff at the Mr. Man offices, we’re charmed by Mr. Iancu’s skin. When the nude dude goes for jog, he wears nothing but a sock on his cock. Oh, we love watching that thing flop!
