7''Getting Any ?'' is Creator/TakeshiKitano's return to his comedic roots. After some films which dealt with a variety of serious topics, he delivers us a ''sex comedy'' which contains absurd/surreal humor, characters with unpredictable personalities, and ridiculous situations which rarely make sense. This film is a straight-up comedy, and easily stands out from other Kitano films.
