REGIONAL PREMIERE: “Let’s Do It” is a satirical drama centering on a group of students. The film opens as John announces the seemingly arbitrary deaths of two friends. His girlfriend wants a loving relationship, but their lives are all about college peer pressure--smoking, sex, and the loss of innocence--believing these essential in the passage to adulthood. Death becomes a metaphor for sex.
