So, 'Go As Messy As Messy Can Be' is one of those quirky comedies from the early '70s that plays with the absurdity of youth and chaos. Mio Ezaki's direction brings a loose, almost improvisational feel to the whole thing, which kind of captures that messy spirit perfectly. The pacing is all over the place, but it suits the wild antics of the protagonist. There's a certain charm in how the film juggles these outrageous scenarios with a light-hearted tone, especially with the bar raid and the awkward interactions in the office. The performances are pretty raw and relatable, with a hint of that era's cultural recklessness. It’s a snapshot of a time and place, worth checking out for those strange laughs it offers.
