Gettin' It (2006) User Reviews

Waste of video

[raymills · 2/10 · 19 August 2007]

If this is displayed along with the flowering words I just read, I'd like to compliment the writer as having more professionalism in the writing of the review than was contained in any 5 minutes of this movie.

I truly assume that the writer was an agent or some producer of the movie and is using IMDb to get anyone to view the film. Bad acting, choppy scene changes, and a few pointless actress barings abound.

Guidelines state that this review must be ten lines long, but I fear giving this video any more publicity.

I gave it a vote of 2 only because the Ferrari was clean.

Thank you.

American Pie for amateurs

[p-stepien · 2/10 · 2 December 2009]

Silver (Patrick Censoplano) is a teenage virgin. And he wants to get laid. Throw in some toilet comedy, stereotypes and stupid characters with amateurish acting and bad execution to get this independent and unfunny ejaculation movie.

This movie is just so crappy, that I can't even seem to find words to describe how unfunny it is. Only thing going for the movie is nice naked chicks, which will surely be a hit with teenage boys with masturbation issues.

Really with a script like this they should have just made a porno movie. The less said the better. Just ignore the fact that this movie exists.

Simply Awful

[Uriah43 · 2/10 · 28 July 2013]

A young man by the name of "Silver" (Patrick Censoplano) is intent on losing his virginity but his girlfriend, "Sheila" (Trish Coren) is highly resistant to his advances. So much so that she breaks up with him after he tries too hard one night. Then one day he accidentally purchases a box of super-large condoms and when the news gets out he suddenly finds that he's a magnet for the opposite sex. Now, while this story could have been entertaining if it had used a little innuendo and some comedy, what transpires is something completely the opposite. Instead of being funny it was just plain crude. The acting was bad, the characters were ridiculous and all of the scenes that were supposed to be erotic were simply awful. Other than possibly Trish Coren and Sandra Staggs (as "Josephine") I can't think of any redeeming features offered by this film. Not that either of them performed up to their potential. Definitely below average.

Boring, awkward, and makes no sense.

[Messyass · 1/10 · 6 January 2008]

This is a bad movie. And I don't mean "good" bad. It's boring, awkward, and makes no sense.

Getting' It tries to be a teen comedy like American Pie, and it does feature teenagers having sex, but other than that it fails in every single way. It walks that line between amateurism and professionalism in a way that's just painful to watch. The entire budget of this movie was blown on renting a Ferrari, and perhaps on the opening scene, which has no connection to the rest of the movie whatsoever.

After that the plot makes no sense and doesn't seem to go anywhere, the camera-work and lighting are just plain bad. The dialogue and directing are so lousy I'm not sure if I can even blame the actors. I didn't laugh once. The "sex" scenes are incredibly awkward and pointless.

This movie has the quality of a porno, but without the good stuff. Everyone involved deserves to be ridiculed for it.

Worst Movie I've Ever Seen

[jensen52288 · 1/10 · 21 November 2007]

Getting' It was by far the worst movie I've ever seen. I literally had to force myself to watch the whole movie because I had spent money renting it. The acting was god awful, the storyline made little sense, and half of the time I was watching it I had no clue what was going on. The only times that I laughed during this movie was when the person next to me farted, I'm not even kidding. I recommend that nobody rents/buys this movie, it isn't even worth stealing it. This is the first time I've ever actually considered killing myself while watching a movie. I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this piece of garbage, and I have to live with that for the rest of my life. I seriously cannot believe anyone could possibly make a movie this bad, and even more surprised that someone actually picked it up for production. F*ck this movie.

Love, HAIRison Ford

This film sucks

[kallikles · 1/10 · 1 December 2007]

It's hard to express in words just how awful this movie is. Indeed, a single visual would do a much job than words ever could: a steaming pile of dog poop.

I've seen thousands of movies, yet this may well be the only one that didn't manage to get even a single thing right. The premise is weak, the acting is horrible, the dialogue is atrocious, the storyline is trite and the cinematography just stinks. However, the biggest problem is that it just isn't funny. It didn't make me laugh - or even smile - a single time.

Anyone, and I do mean *anyone* could make a funnier movie. Compared to Getting' It, movies like Revenge of the Nerds part 4 and Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo are comedic masterpieces.

If you liked American Pie, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers or Superbad... you will HATE this.

coming of age and out of virginity

[julierryan711 · 1/10 · 16 June 2011]

Getting through this film was torturous. The cinematography was absolutely amateur. There was virtually no plot whatsoever. The acting was atrocious. I feel like my high school drama and film production crew on a four hundred dollar budget could have produced something more enjoyable. I did not imagine that films like this one could possibly exist on movie- renting websites where customers are actually trying to be entertained for their hard-earned money. The entire movie I kept imagining the producer being a fifteen-year-old perverted teenage boy with bad grammar and the film experience of a community college acting student. The storyline reminded me of the prelude to a porn except the dirty, overacted sex never happened. The sex scenes in this movie were horribly executed and with the storyline revolving around sex, I was disappointed to not feel stirrings of eroticism whatsoever. When this movie was trying to be sexy, it was utterly hilarious in the way that as a viewer you feel embarrassed for the director. When this movie was trying to be funny, I just felt depressed and let down that I had wasted my time viewing this, and now I am wasting my time writing a review for this. Bad, bad, bad.

Much better than what people make you think

[destroyerwod · 5/10 · 7 June 2015]

Well it seem i will be the first positive review of the huge 9 reviews number. Well let me tell you this, the reviews are misleading and exactly why i do not take IMDb's score and reviews for truth. This movie is fairly enjoyable.

Sure the story is not "realistic", but do you enjoy watching big robots fight on screen or aliens invading Earth? Then it shouldn't be a problem. Its a movie, its for entertainment. This is one of those movie that is good if your drunk, literally speaking as well as figuratively if you follow Jeremy Jhans.

No its nothing spectacular, and it will not be a cult classic for me, but i did found myself enjoyed trough it and never checked my watch or anything. I tough it was a fairly decent juvenile comedy.

I didn't had one like this for a while and for that i am glad. Sometimes IMDb reviews are spot on, other times there totally not...

Oh, how crappy. It is painful

[lawrence_settles · 1/10 · 20 August 2008]

I am not much of a movie person, and this is the first time I have ever registered myself on a movie website, but after seeing Getting' It, I had to get online and express my extreme disappointment with this masterpiece of crap that received my attention for two hours. I live in Japan and the translation of the title read "Virgin with a 40cm..." My wife and I thought it was a spin-off from 40 year old Virgin, oh how we were disappointed.

First I recommend this movie be under a new genre, it should no longer be found in the "comedy" section, but rather be under the genre of "crap". I understand this genre is yet to exist, but after the Screen Writer's Guild see this movie, they will be able to make a new genre and not mislead people.

Secondly, there should be a new Oscar award for worst writing, I think this movie would win that Oscar for the rest of the millennium because I think there has never been, nor will ever be a worse piece of written crap than the script for this movie.

It is absolutely not funny and much as the actors try (or didn't try because they just seemed to be incapable of anything remotely related to acting) there is not even one funny joke. The only time I laughed was before I watched the movie, because I was in anticipation of seeing something like 40 year old Virgin.

I hope the writer of this movie will not get discouraged because there are many opportunities to find a writing job on the wall of a smelly public bathroom, where he could probably learn from expert middle schoolers on the art of writing crap humor.

If you were one of the many expecting to laugh (even one little 'haha' under your breath) I share in your pain and in the fact that you had to literally waste 2 hours of your life that could have been used for anything else (including punching yourself in the face, which would have been more amusing than having to witness Getting' It).

What kind of a title is that anyway! I imagine the writer was like "Man what's a good title, how about 'Getting' It' yeah that's cooooooo!" Sorry this is long but if the editors of this comment section see this movie, they will sympathize with me and everyone else who was utterly disappointed. Thank you for reading, and do NOT waste your time, money, or life on Getting' It.

Quite Possibly the most Pointless Film Ever Made

[Foxbarking · 1/10 · 17 August 2013]

I am one of those people who can't do work in a quiet room, I have to have the television on or music playing. I often try to find a movie or a show that is not very interesting so I will only be partially distracted by it. I'd have to say that "Gettin It" might be the least interesting film ever made as it was not remotely distracting.

The biggest problem with this movie is that it has no idea of what it wants to be. It is an obvious attempt at trying to make an "American Pie" rip off, down to the music playing in the credits. However, as cliché as "American Pie" was, it was also creative, funny and a few hundred times more realistic than "Gettin It." "American Pie" offers characters that actually make you care what happens to them. "Gettin It" is unable to do that to any degree. What you end up with is a sex comedy, with no plot, no laughs and the most bizarre, boring and stupid sex scenes ever seen in film.

The biggest problem is that the actor playing Silver is actually very cute and could make you care about him. However he put into a role where he is forced to be the geeky guy who is dating a girl who looks like she could be the head cheerleader and HE is the one pushing for sex. Cheerleader looking girlfriend would rather hang out in the cemetery (I honestly have no idea why that was mentioned but never explained in this movie).

You won't get invested in this movie. If you see it on Netflix and assume it might be worth it for a sex scene or anything else, don't give in. The film makers should make a public apology for allowing this film to exist.

Masterpiece

[akrata_eldero · 10/10 · 5 March 2021]

The best movie ive ever seen, on par with Kubrick. The photography is stunning, the score on point, character development is sublime and deep. It's the movie shakespeare would have written if born today. Recommended for any movie lover.

Amateurish but watchable

[Floated2 · 4/10 · 4 March 2022]

Gettin' In is a 2006 released comedy seemingly with inspirations of the American Pie franchise. For starters, the camera work and overall visuals is very amateurish, along with most of the acting. The comedy isn't funny and the plot is quite ridiculous. There are some watchable scenes but everything is either too over the top or predicatble. It is raunchy to an extent with a couple of those scemes.

The plotline is quite silly and awkward, but its one of those mindless comedies. It isn't the worst comedy but nothing special. Otherwise a very forgettable film.
