Minnâ-yatteruka! (1995)

English title: Getting Any?

Synopsis (mild spoiler): A man devises a thousand schemes for having sex but fails in all of them. He goes through many weird situations, culminating with his transformation into a Fly-man in a machine created by a scientist.

Appraisal: Humor made of gags whose style is reminiscent of Chuck Jones's cartoons, but more coarse and primitive. It brought me alternately to laughter and boredom; the rate at which either will happen to others depends on their level of expectation, personal preferences and familiarity with Japanese pop culture.

Rating: 33
