This is one of the most mindlessly hilarious movies ever made. Definitely Jamie Foxx's best. Although the middle is kind of slow (with the exception of the convenience store - Are we going to do this or what Judge?) the movie as a whole has some of the best lines ever for a beer-fest, watch-it-with-the-guys Saturday afternoon movie. See the movie for the writing, stay for the dance in the nightclub where Tommy Davidson busts out the best dance moves on reel until Rush Hour :) If you're even remotely a fan of outrageous trash talking and completely random lines ("Was ya gonna wait till I turned into a butterfly?" and "You need a cigarette to bring you down?" LOL!) then this movie is a must see. Otherwise stay away as this is going to offend and bore you.
10/10 for some, and a 3/10 for others. Watch at your discretion!

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.
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.
Years before winning an Oscar for Ray, the biopic about Ray Charles, Jamie Foxx was in Booty Call, a much less serious movie. Here, he is Bunz, the best friend of Rushon(Tommy Davidson), who is dating Nikki(Tamala Jones), and they decide on a double date, adding Lysterine(Vivica A. Fox) to the mix. All is going smoothly until the couples get in the mood, but the two guys don't have protection for safe sex. Most of film entails Foxx and Davidson on a quest to find condoms and their disastrous results.
Foxx has proved to be an incredibly versatile actor; from Ray, to Any Given Sunday, and even In Living Colour, the guy is a major talent. Booty Call is a silly, lightweight comedy, but Foxx and his costars make it funny and endearing. It is a one note joke, but the four major players work well together for a breezy 80 minutes.

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.

- GoofsWhen Bunz and Rashad are chasing Killer (the dog) down the street, a car door opens. Bunz and Rashad run into the door and flip over it onto the ground. As both characters are falling to the ground in slow motion, you can clearly see the stuntman who is playing as Jaime Foxx (Bunz) lose his hairpiece.
