Gettin' It (2006)
1/10
Quite Possibly the most Pointless Film Ever Made
17 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
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.
