I think Beat Takeshi is very funny on television. Because in this medium he can adapt and change with the times. Reference relevant things and keep up to date with the latest sense of humour and fashions.This movie is only 11 years old - but already is completely out dated. The numerous references to Japanese TV, film and music are not relevant anymore. Many of the jokes and puns seem tired and old-fashioned.The movie does have one or two funny moments - but not worth the money of a rental i'm afraid.Takeshi Kitano has directed some wonderful movies. And I believe his film making talents definitely lie in drama rather than comedy.As Beat Takeshi he is a funny and anarchistic. But this only works in the realm of TV. Where he can move with the times.This movie is old fashioned and dated. And ultimately not funny anymore.Sorry.

Don't watch it. It's just a stupid attempt to make a funny movie out of a bunch of sketches put together. Thin, thin storyline and thin jokes. There was nothing that really made you want to watch it till the end. Pure crap!

One of the stupidest, most bizarre, and straight up perverted movies I've seen in a long time, but it was friggin' funny as hell. If you can handle 'stupid funny' then this movie is definitely enjoyable. Loosely organized around the fact that this perverted guy wants to score badly.... so he goes off and tries many different means to accomplish this task. The end degenerates into a big of a Godzilla parody, but still funny. be sure to stick around for the end of the credits too.

Takeshi Kitano is a genius. One of the greatest film makers of all time and his finest achievement, 'Hana-bi' is perhaps my all-time favourite film.Having said that; 'Getting Any?' is garbage.Quite what he was thinking; I'm really not sure. The often hilarious comedic moments from his other works are completely missing. Instead they are replaced with a level of humour so foolish and out of date you would struggle to find comparable examples even on the worst Japanese TV shows these days.I wanted to like 'Getting Any?' I love Kitano's other films and I enjoy watching him on TV but about two thirds of the way through this sloppy mess I completely lost interest; only hanging on until the end because it was in fact a Takeshi Kitano film.It really is a great shame that Kitano has this rotten dog waste situated in the middle of an otherwise fantastic record of quality film making. It amuses me to read people making excuses for the film when it is clear that if any other director of the caliber of Kitano had made this film, it would be met with universal disdain and bewildering disbelief.Thankfully, 'Getting Any?' is just an unfortunate blip on a resumé filled with great moments.
