Less-than-stellar T&A rip-off of Kentucky Fried Movie
Oh man, when this DVD came in the mail, I had a wave of memories flash back on me. When I was a teenager, renting movies at the local video store, I decided once to switch the tapes out of cases in the store, so I could rent some T&A instead of whatever PG movie I was supposed to be getting. This is the movie I chose to pick.
My bad.
Now granted, there’s a good bit of nudity in the film, so it got the job done, but it was a huge letdown as well. Can I Do It...Til I Need Glasses? tried to be Kentucky Fried Movie for the pervs, and it just didn’t work, mostly due to incredibly lame gags.
Not a movie per se, but rather a strung-together line of raunchy jokes given visual form, Can I Do It is infamous these days for being the theatrical debut of Robin Williams, but it really has little else going for it except gratuitous nudity (which, by the way, the film includes almost all of in a credit sequence montage, so you don’t even have to watch past six minutes if that’s what you’re here for).
Most of the jokes are beyond lame. The film opens up with a couple sneaking in to their apartment, trying not to wake up the neighbors or landlord, only for the woman – who has been the one telling the man to keep quiet – to start screaming loud as hell when they have sex, waking up the entire town in the process. That’s the kind of humor to be found here. In one overlong sketch, Pronto rushes to town to find out how to save his buddy the Lone Stranger after the masked man got bit on his penis by a poisonous snake.
This is junior high levels of “adult humor.” That said, there is some nudity, so it gets points there. I don’t know; maybe it’s so sophomoric in its jokes that it actually is funny on some wavelength. It’s just not mine.
Released on DVD by Code Red, the disc has a decent, if slightly grainy, widescreen print. The special features are...well, the original theatrical trailer. There’s a section on the menu for “Extras” and while I won’t spoil what it is, it’s not what you would think.
Full-frontal nudity and sex jokes a 16-year-old wouldn’t find funny shouldn’t mix. Thankfully, as I learned when I was that teenage boy so very long ago, there’s a reason for “mute” buttons.
