Adventures in Success is a sharp, ribald take-down of the wellness and spirituality influencer con game, revealed with hilarious precision from the inside.

It makes us laugh, cringe, and think deeply about ourselves and who we shun or welcome in the name of comfort.

While this certainly offers a provocative enough setup, virtually the only strength to be found in Adventures in Success is its easy, lightly ribald sense of humor.

Billed as a mockumentary, Adventures in Success is far more of a straightforward comedy.

A movie all about orgasms ironically fails to produce a satisfying climax.

While worth a spin for the oddity of its world, Adventures in Success does not find a lot of success as an overall experience.

So surprised and impressed by this film: I kind of expected an orgasm-fest cult mockumentary, but got a poignant and hilarious film about "seeking" (enigmatic, seductive leader Peggy Appleyard's followers are called "seekers"), and quixotic, idealistic young people trying to find where they belong. There are some hot and suggestive scenes for sure, but nothing uncomfortable: this is a watch-with-friends movie for sure. So many funny lines- so many little looks, reactions, and quick "confessionals" that had me and my husband both laughing out loud. The editing and cinematography are fantastic, and the beautiful, woodsy Catskills scenery and "feminine-energy"-centered sets are worth a watch all on their own. Is downing copious amounts of fast food and soda (you'll see) part of releasing our feminine sexual power? I'm down to try it. "For the cause", of course!
