[2] For the Taking

About This Movie

So, 'For the Taking' is this quirky little flick from 2004 that dives into the party scene with a premise that feels both risqué and a bit absurd. The vibe is light-hearted, almost like a raunchy comedy with a twist. The men toss their car keys into a bowl, and the ensuing chaos is both hilarious and awkward. The pacing has a nice flow as it balances the comedic elements with moments of genuine tension and awkwardness between the characters. It's not exactly a polished gem, but there's something about its playful exploration of relationships and desire that keeps it interesting. It certainly stands out in its own cheeky way, despite the lack of big-name talent behind the camera or in front of it.

This film has had a bit of a mixed reception over the years, and as such, it's not the easiest title to track down. The DVD seems to pop up here and there, but finding it in good condition can be a challenge. Collector interest is modest—it's not a sought-after title, but it might catch the eye of those who appreciate offbeat party comedies from the early 2000s. It’s definitely one for niche collectors who enjoy exploring the deeper cuts of the genre.
