The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down

Presented in a fun and unique manner, this "guide to sex, drugs, and bad behavior' actually does contain some solid educational tips. Cool cast and club scenes. Way better than I expected, especially for a TV movie.

(Do note that although Meghan Markle was top listed as the character "Dana" here on IMDB--which was one of the reasons I decided to see this, I thought it'd be funny--neither I nor anyone I was watching this with could spot her. We finally decided she might be the narrator, but as the end credits rolled, her name wasn't listed there either. Whatever that means. )

All in all, this is a pretty cool movie, one to easily watch with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Or alone. Together just might be more fun.

This movie is delightful. It is low production, but still has some great moments. There are so many funny bits in this movie, I can't for the life of me understand why it never caught on. There are scenes involving different drugs and the responsible way to use them, wink wink. Personal favorite bits, the lab mice on cocaine, the darwinian aspects of bouncers at clubs, and how to smoke a joint, you know etiquette wise. If you are a fan of drugs and/or original comedy, you will be in love with movie, I promise!

To begin, there are great moments in this movie. The comical elements are well placed, and the movie is entertaining. As with any movie, it has its downfalls. First, its script must have been over-edited, as it felt too choppy, inconsistent, and the plot was not clear. As a comedy, it would take a title, but in a performance atmosphere, it lacks. Certainly the comedy was delightful, but the story line was so inconsistent it often felt as the movie had no pattern. Indeed, it was somewhat of a educational sort (with comedy elements), but I think if the plot and characters were incorporated better, the movie would be more linear and sit better in the mind of the viewer. It seemed as that was not the target of the editing however, and with a mix of plot and what felt as shorts, it didn't come across nicely.

Just watched this movie I'm not sure if the 2006 one is the same cause they look the same but anyways it's pretty much a dos and don'ts guide to partying in LA in the early 2000s with the perfect amount of satire and comedy throughout the movie. Like I said it's suprisingly informative, and mostly has held the test of time. There's some outdated things that are at the same time hilarious but it's a great perspective into the party lifestyle still going on today in LA specifically and I imagine in a lot of the major metropolitan cities around the world. As an avid party goer I can attest this is a great way for anybody who hasn't ever partied before or has little experience in this world, to learn the intricies of going out from bars and clubs to house parties and parties in the hills. It also shows some of the dos and don'ts in recreational drug use such as smoking weed, ecstacy, drinking and cocaine as well as the dangers of said activities, as well as accurate yet funny rules and information about ating and hooking up with people you meet at these events, the type of people you meet at these events and the ones you should avoid. All in all it's a lowkey underground timeless piece of satirical cinema that will continue to stand the test of time and I hope it will become a cult classic.
