Getting Any?

Getting Any? follows the antics of sex crazed and woman deprived Asao (Dankan), as he throws himself into increasingly madcap ways to try and get some action. Sitting in his porno-plastered apartment, he conjures up Emmanuelle style sex epiphanies, before setting about turning these wet dreams into reality. Cue some slapstick Frank Spenseresque farce, as his attempts to woo women with a car, attract amorous interest as an actor, play the danger card as a yakuza hitman or become an invisible spy (with the help of Kitano's mad scientist) - all inevitably end in tears. The surrealist slant of the film and some ambitious choreography from director Kitano just about lifts the whole thing from Benny Hill territory. At 100 minutes though, Getting Any?’s marathon series of sketches becomes as trying as a tantric sex session without the climax. No doubt Rob Schneider is ironing out the contract for an American remake.
