Booty Call

I find that, more than any other movie genre, comedy is a matter of personal taste. One person can come whole-heartedly recommend a film to you as being eyeball-busting funny, only for you to sit there stoney-faced throughout.

This film perfectly illustrates that point. The user ratings and comments for this film have been pretty negative, but I've rarely laughed so much at a comedy. Yes, it's stupid and full of slapstick, but it has some great lines and the actors look like they're having fun.

And unlike other similar films, it's not just a star vehicle for a money-mad, unfunny rapper. If you're planning a night in with a few drinks or *whatever* and you "like this sort of thing", this is a good bet.

This movie is not as highly regarded as it should be. It should be up in the ranks of "Casablanca", "Gone with the Wind", and "How to be a Player starring Bill Bellamy". This movie has some of the greatest one liners that have even been thought up. Jamie Foxx gives a performance that is equal to that of Marlon Brando in "Godfather". This one gets and A-OK from me, the Communist Critic.

Enjoyed this film from the very beginning to the end and it had me laughing until my sides hurt. Jamie Foxx, (Bunz) along with Tommy Davidson, (Rushon) gave an outstanding performance as two guys trying to score with two gals who demanded Glad Wrap and were very particular about the type of condoms the guys were going to utilize. Vivica A Fox,(Lysterine) and Tamala Jones (Nikki) gave a great supporting role as the gals who Bunz and Rushon tried to score with. This film goes all around in Chinatown, a hospital and plenty of bedrooms and even a taxi cab. If you like Jamie Foxx and love his acting and comedy, this is the film you will greatly enjoy viewing.

I picked this movie out of some obscure video store in Seoul, and what I saw afterwards is a movie that changed my life.

Jamie Foxx is a comic genius with his jokes ("you wait outside, and a f---in' sea donkey goes into your car") and impressions of famous black men. I rented the movie several times before finally buying it.

The scenes at the Chinese restaurant have to rank up there with the all-time greatest in comedy ("no fighting in restaurant -- cost you extra to fight in restaurant").

The movie did start to slow after Rushon gets shot in the leg and goes to the hospital. But before that, gosh, it had to be the funniest movie I've seen in years! I give it 8 out of 10.

After watching this movie, it was hard to move because my sides hurt so much from laughing. The hilarious standout performances of Vivica Fox, Tamala Jones, Tommy Davidson, and Jamie Foxx make this movie an entertaining film for anyone -- black or white, male or female. The knockout, yet brief, performance of Gedde Wantanabe (Long Duc Dong of Sixteen Candles) is enough to make you rewind the dinner scene again and again and again.
