Alicia I love this movie so much
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Raul Faust The subject of young guys looking desperately for condoms in order to get laid has been used in past movies, but this time, it has more elements to develop a decent story. In "Booty Call", there is, surprisingly, a GOOD character development; all the main characters have their own virtues and defects, delivering nice situations. The Chinese homosexual guy is also a funny character. In my opinion, Tommy Davidson's acting is the highlight in this picture, along with a well written plot. There are problems coming for the characters all the time, so there is no wasted time. I don't remember a moment in the movie that I felt like I was bored; everything went very fast. Better than that: the movie ADMITS its lack of pomposity, finishing it in about 78 minutes, so it is, in fact, a great unknown film.
Eels14 I know this movie has it's critics only being rated 4.9/10, but so many characters in this movie led by Jamie Foxx were hilarious. I first saw this movie in 1999 and waited until 2006 for it's release on DVD.Booty Call is a comedy based on the dating scene and the struggle it can become; especially if you're a guy. Jamie Foxx played Bunz who was practically a dog on heat going to any length to score before sunrise, hence the movie's title Booty Call. His best mate and side kick in this adventure - Rushon who brought a serious side to the movie as he was more involved in a relationship.Along the way I found this movie really reached it's peak when the two guys visited the convenient store, where two Indian immigrants worked behind the counter who I thought added so much to this movie making it hilarious. Even Judge Peabody played by Bernie Mac delivered a great short appearance preaching the gospel and the danger's of sex even though he was on his way home with a prostitute. The movie does slow down a little towards the end when the couples visited the hospital, but still there were scenes that delivered a laugh.In all it's a short film but you will find it enjoyable from the restaurant scene in the beginning to the very end credits. And not a bad soundtrack if R & B and hip hop is your preferred choice in music.9/10 - Based on the written material and the characters.
type_mitch One of the first Jamie Fox films I ever saw years ago and loved it! He is really funny in this movie and you could see he was going to be a big star. Its definitely not a film everyone would enjoy but if you like films like 'Friday' and anything with the Wayans brothers you will be laughing out loud. There are a good few scenes that were extremely funny, in-particular the supermarket scenes where the main characters visit several times during one crazy night and are ridiculed by the two staff who do remind me of Apu from the Simpsons. Also the scene where Rushon and Bunz (Jamie Fox) wrap themselves in cling-film made me cry with laughter! Vivica A Fox was good in the film as well but the show is stolen by Jamie Fox. Highly recommend this movie.Great 'pick me up' film.
bob the moo Rushon has a date with Nikki – who he has been seeing for 7 weeks without `getting up in there'. Nikki has asked that Roshon brings a friend for her friend Lysterine so Roshon brings along his hood rat friend Bunz. Despite a terrible date and constant bickering between Bunz and Lysterine the four hit it off and separate to their rooms to, well, get it on. However Nikki's insistence on safe sex sends the two men out on a quest for contraceptives that lead them into several adventures.I approached this with all the caution one would give to a rattlesnake in your bathroom. I knew it was going to one of those basic ethnic comedies where the main laughs will come from the characters acting in the stereotypical way black characters do in comedies and by saying `your ass' at the end of every sentence. Sadly I was bang on the money.To call the story a `plot' is doing it a great disservice – this is no more than a couple of sketches thrown together with one thread holding it as one film. We have 1: the date, 2: the shops and 3: the hospital. And that's it! This doesn't matter as long as it's funny – but the humour here is aimed at an undemanding black audience. It's also crude, racist, lazy and relies on the characters arguing in loud fast voices and saying `motherf*cker' and `ass' every few minutes.Sadly this is still funny if you're in the mood! As much as I wanted to hate it I still enjoyed it. Many of the sketches are amusing and some of the dialogue is good. However too much of it is lazy ethnic stuff. Some scenes smack badly of racism – like Bunz insulting Indian shopkeepers by telling them to go back to Pakistan or calling a diner at a Chinese restaurant `Bruce Lee'. Can you imagine a white character in a `white' film getting away with that?However the bad taste is usually removed by the next good line so it's not too bad. Foxx is not a great actor – I find him to be a poor man's Martin Lawrence or Eddie Murphy and he really just overplays his `hood rat' character to the hilt. Davidson is his straight-man and is not memorable as a result. Jones is cute and looks great in that white lingerie and Fox is as sexy as ever despite a terrible hairdo. However both the women are both black woman stereotypes and do the whole hand-waving, head-wiggling thing too much. The most surprising bit of casting was Art Malik as one of the shop keepers – he'd already done City of Joy and True Lies, so why did he decide that a role in this would be the way to go?Overall this is very basic and really pretty poor. The plot could be written on the back of an matchbox, the jokes are crude at best and racist at worst and it's very hit and miss – even if you're in the mood. Sadly I still enjoyed it and found it funny. If you like this type of thing then this will please you no ends.
