Line Up and Lay Down

About This Movie

Line Up and Lay Down is this quirky slice of '70s erotic comedy that really captures that era's playful, yet chaotic spirit. The pacing is kind of all over the place, but in a way, it adds to the charm. You’ve got this incorrigible womanizer whose love life spirals out of control, and the way his friends orchestrate that fateful meeting with his fiancée and his mistresses—it’s both cringeworthy and hilarious. The performances have this rawness that feels genuine, and while the direction might be a bit rough around the edges, it’s all part of its charm. The humor is definitely leans into the raunchy side, with some striking practical effects that feel very much of their time. It really stands out as a peculiar time capsule of romance gone awry.

Line Up and Lay Down has been somewhat elusive on the collector's market, with a mix of VHS and obscure DVD releases that make it a bit hard to find in good quality. Its scarcity certainly piques interest among collectors who enjoy '70s films, especially those with a comedic twist. The film's unique blend of humor and romance along with its peculiar narrative arc give it a distinctive place in the genre, making it a curiosity for those who appreciate eclectic cinema from that time.
