So, 'Can I Come Too?' is this quirky little comedy that drags you into the chaotic lead-up to a film premiere at Brixton's Savoy Cinema. The whole vibe is a mix of awkward tension and dark humor as the staff navigates the arrival of the star, Gloria Overtones, who's not exactly thrilled about the event. The pacing feels uneven at times, almost reflective of the characters’ own discomforts, but it works in a way that’s oddly engaging. There's a sense of discovery too, especially during that restaurant party where Gloria's about to learn something big about her family. It's less about the film within a film and more about the people surrounding it, which gives it a distinctive flavor that’s quite rare in comedies from that era.
This film has a bit of a cult following among collectors due to its obscure status. Released in the late 70s, it's often hard to find in good condition, especially on original formats. The lack of distribution and minimal marketing contribute to its scarcity, making it a curious piece for those interested in the era's underground cinema. Interest tends to spike around discussions of vintage comedies that blend personal narratives with industry satire.
