Let's Do It! is a 1982 American comedy film directed by Bert I. Gordon about a college student named Freddie whose struggles with intimacy send him on a misguided search for solutions.

Programmer's Pick

Bert I. Gordon, best known for his creature features, detours into teen sex comedy territory here—resulting in a film less about conquest and more about comic impotence. If you like your coming-of-age awkward, with a heavy pour of shower-room gags and mother issues, this one's for you.

Overview

Let's Do It! follows Freddie, a well-meaning but inexperienced college student whose eagerness to please his girlfriend Melody is undermined by his inability to perform in bed. Determined to get to the bottom of his hang-ups, Freddie consults his friends and even seeks the help of a prostitute, only to find that quick fixes don't solve deeper issues. Surrounded by willing women but hampered by his own sensitivity and a complex involving his mother, Freddie’s comedic journey exposes the pitfalls of youthful expectations and misguided advice. The film blends sex comedy tropes with a farcical look at sexual anxieties, campus antics, and the oddball characters who populate Freddie's world.
