Gettin’ It - Unrated

Hollywood is in a race to repeat the success of The 40-Year-Old Virgin and a lame early entry (no pun intended) is Nick Gaitatjis’ Gettin’ It – Unrated, about a teenager (Patrick Censoplano) who is unhappy with his lady situation until a crazy mistake confuses everyone into thinking he may be a stud in the making.  He is caught with a box of condoms for the “very large” that belong to someone else.  As word gets out, every size queen and a lady sex maniac is on the lookout for him.

 

This could have been funny, but with an idiot plot, pedestrian acting and no heart or soul to the situation, writer/director Gaitatjis simply is not getting it about how to do a comedy like this well as it is not about the sex, but the people.  Character development is lame and while the women are attractive and Censoplano has comic potential, this fizzles quickly.

 

The anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is shot in what looks like older HD video at best.  If the detail were any worse with detail shimmering, it would be outright obnoxious.  The Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo is simple and dialogue is recorded well for the most part, but it offers little else, including no surrounds.  Extras include deleted scenes, director commentary, trailer and making of featurette that are all also dull.
