Askwith at his dullest
18 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
LET'S GET LAID is one of the most excruciating British sex comedies I've watched. I was expecting a WW2-era farce along the lines of the CONFESSIONS series, but what I got instead was an interminable mixed-up plot that focuses on Fiona Richmond's actress and her interactions with Robin Askwith's goofy soldier. Random bad guys pursue the protagonists through the scenes, while the police (in the form of Tony Haygarth and Graham Stark) are always close behind. Askwith doesn't actually get much to do here other than scowl and pull faces a lot; the director is obsessed with Richmond who constantly disrobes for her role. I found her mannered acting quite off-putting, if I'm honest, and the wall-to-wall nudity becomes tiresome before long. Padded, dragged out and with barely any funny bits, LET'S GET LAID is Askwith at his dullest.
