Getting Together

About This Movie

Getting Together is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that peeks into a young fellow's chaotic journey from a rather rigid suburban life into a more liberated, hedonistic existence. It's got this raw charm, with a vibe that sometimes feels like a late-night binge-watch gone awry. The practical effects might not be groundbreaking, but they add a certain authenticity to the raucous scenes. Performances are a mixed bag, though you can sense the commitment from the cast to explore these themes of freedom and rebellion. The pacing swings from frenzied to laid-back, which might throw some viewers off, yet that’s part of its oddball appeal.

Getting Together, also known as Feelin' Up! in its Troma re-edit, has seen various home video edits which adds to its collector's allure. The original version is somewhat elusive, while the Troma cut, though truncated, drew a different kind of attention. The film's exploration of themes like rebellion and the clash of lifestyles during the '70s resonates with collectors interested in that era's cinema. As a piece of quirky history, it sits in a niche but growing spot for those who appreciate the offbeat nature of its storytelling.
