Cattle Call

I believe that there is SOME good in everyone. In the case of the guys who are producing films for NL these days, you'd need a scalpel to find it.

Bad script, bad editing, bad directing, but when all is said and done not good at all. I would say this film was poorly acted but it's hard to tell with a director this bad.

NL would have been better off just putting the camera on a tripod in front of Jonathan Winters, hitting record and saying 'go.' Since Nicole Eggert doesn't get naked in this, Winters is the only thing worthwhile about the whole production. He's only in it for about five minutes or less.

It has been my experience that 9 out of 10 National Lampoon movies are unwatchable, and while "National Lampoon Cattle Call" is far from the worst, it is still bad. Aside from the classic "Vacation", "Animal House", and "Van Wilder", and the marginal "Deadly Sins" and "Gold Diggers", everything else has been simply awful, including "Cattle Call". This is essentially a one joke movie, and the joke is both unoriginal, redundant, and boring. Most of the crude efforts for a laugh totally misfire, and the overly simplistic script simply has nowhere to go. The entire film seems tired from beginning to end. Throw in the towel early, because essentially you will not miss anything you haven't seen before. - MERK

The best in this movie is the intro music theme....

The plot is somewhat OK but the execution is bad....

The acting is bad.... I liked only the one that played the nerd strange guy from the leading roles but still he could improved his performance....

The dialogs and black humor is far from top.... The movie does have 1-2 funny moments

The movie does have a lot of pretty ladies!!!! probably on purpose....

I wouldn't suggest renting this movie...

A very funny comedy that will appeal to most adults, I thought Diedrich Bader, Thomas Ian Nicholas and Johnathen Winters stood out in the movie with their very keen senses of humor. Paul Mazursky played the perfect overbearing hapless judge, overall just a great supporting cast, a lot of laughs from beginning to end! The storyline is completely believable in that a desperate guy played by Thomas Ian Nicholas aided by his good buddies that he also convinces to assist him and themselves,{they don't need to much convincing mind you} to cook up a scheme to "meet as many women/girls as possible, by putting advertisements in the paper and creating a fake casting call for a movie that really doesn't exist! A person definitely gets the sense that this cooked up idea may have been attempted in the past by " guys looking to meet and date as many women as they can". Ask any producer or director and they will tell you that casting calls routinely can draw literally hundreds if not thousands of people that want to audition for parts.I have seen most of the National Lampoons and this rates up there for believability,acting skills, realism and humor. At the premiere I happened to sit next to a very well known "movie critic" and for what it's worth he gave it "two thumbs up"!!! "A MUST SEE SLEEPER COMEDY THAT WILL BE COMING OUT IN THE THEATRES IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 07 !!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I did a fake casting of a movie when I was in college. It totally worked. I met tons of girls. I'm freaked out someone made a movie about it. I'm sure others have done this too. I wonder if the writer-director Martin Guigui lived it...Diedrich Bader is hilarious! "Cattle Call" is the funniest National Lampoon film I have seen since "Van Wilder". I heard they're making a sequel. I'd love to sneak onto that set. Chelsea Handler is a good actress. She should do more films. The actress Jenny Molen that played Marina is awesome. I heard she married Jason Biggs recently. I hope she's in the sequel. She was the best thing about "Cattle Call". There are a few very funny memorable scenes. One that I keep remembering is when the character of Sherman Oaks (played by Andrew Katos) thinks he is playing a great guitar solo, but he sucks and then Chelsea Handler still wants to have sex with him. The film reminds me of "Spinal Tap" sometimes. I rented if from Netflix and then I bought it so I can relive it, my past that is...
