Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Elizabeth Fairfax My wife and I just watched this during a chick flick marathon. She loves romcoms, I make no secret that the "girls from different walks of life become friends" trope will win me over any time, so this seemed like a good fit.We didn't even know the half of it.I'm going to go right out and say it: This is a coded lesbian romcom. This isn't about a WO-mance or "gal pals," this is a flat-out lesbian romcom and one of the most realistic on screen romances I've ever had the pleasure of watching. I can't count the number of times my wife and I shouted "ME" at the screen or cooed over how sweet and genuine the budding romance between Lauren and Katie felt. Sure, Katie gets her sorta stilted romance with awkward movie maker boy, but at the climax (no pun intended) she literally walks away from having sex with him to go make up with Lauren because she loves her. Furthermore, I don't think the implication at the end that Katie is going to continue seeing movie boy while being in a relationship/loving Lauren makes either of her relationships less valid, and the movie doesn't either. As for the sex line side... lord we were laughing all the way through! My wife worked the graveyard shift in an adult video and toy store, and for us to get to see sex work portrayed in a sympathetic and humorous light was really refreshing and charming. We need more movies like this, where gay people are presented as just people, where being a virgin isn't stigmatized, and where sex work is treated like a regular thing. Put this on up on the shelf with "But I'm a Cheerleader," ladies- we finally have another movie where being a young lesbian isn't doom and gloom or a man's poorly written sexual fantasy.

evanston_dad When this movie first started, I thought it was going to be outright bad. But its off-beat rhythm grew on me, and by the time it was over I found myself enjoying it quite a lot.Lauren Miller and Ari Graynor play roommates who first hate each other and then become best friends when they team up to run a phone sex business. There are some predictable conflicts that do more to slow the film down than add interest, but there are enough surprises along the way to keep the film from turning into the predictable sitcom it might otherwise have been.Justin Long has a supporting role as the flamboyant gay man that has become a stock character in every movie that wants to earn its hip and edgy badge, and though I can acknowledge that the lines coming out of his mouth were funny, they weren't funny enough to overcome my complete resistance to him as an actor.Grade: B+

Ck dexterhaven Lauren (Lauren Miller) and Katie Steele (Ari Graynor) both need a roommate. Lauren just broke up with her boyfriend, Charlie (James Wolk) and Katie is behind on the rent. They are introduced by a mutual friend, Jesse (Justin Long) and just like that Lauren and Katie remember they hated each other in college. Realizing they have no alternatives for living in such a nice apartment the two enemies move in together and patch up their differences. Soon after they move in, Lauren loses her job, and Katie shares a little secret, she's an operator on a phone sex line. With job prospects not looking so good, Lauren becomes a call screener for Katie and they start their own phone sex line called 1-800-MMM-HMM. The phone sex line is so successful that they hire another talker named Krissy (Sugar Lynn Beard) but Krissy is a fundamentalist Christian, more interested in saving souls than talking dirty. With nowhere else to turn Katie asks Lauren to join her as on air talent? What does Lauren do? When Lauren gets a legitimate job offer at a publishing firm, and her ex asks her to come back, does she leave her new BFF Katie in the dust? I like this movie, but it's a qualified like. It made me laugh, especially Justin Long's character. There is also a very funny cameo by Seth Rogan, that I was not expecting. I don't like how they seemingly had to choose phone sex operator as a profession, Hollywood has this fixation of making all women either prostitutes, and now a step up from prostitutes, phone sex operators. Where is the phone sex operator booth on career day? Don't go looking for it ladies, as much as Hollywood wants you to do it, don't be tempted. I was also put off by yet another portrayal of a Christian as a Bible thumping fundamentalist. To Hollywood Christians are basically one joke characters. And finally, this movie makes a mistake that many comedies make, it tries to get serious, and that's when Katie, loses all her edge and becomes a conventional, even hackneyed character. The ending is muddled and meaningless, which added to my ambivalence about this movie, but Justin Long is consistently funny as the ubiquitous gay character, Seth Rogan is funny in his cameo, and the banter between Miller and Graynor is pretty good for the first half of the movie, but falters. The pacing is slow, for a 90 minute movie, it seems much longer. This movie is not for kids, hence the R-rating. A well-deserved R for all the sex talk. There shouldn't have been so much, and it wasn't even the funniest part of the movie. For a good Time Call or more accurately…for half a good time watch.

Gordon-11 This film is about two women who had to move in together, despite them not getting along when they were in high school. They started to bond via the most unlikely way."For a Good Time, Call..." is an explicit and gross comedy, putting sex (and sex toys) in your face to make you laugh. It has got many jokes, over the top phone sex and a somewhat contrived emotional subplot. The ending of how the two girls end up is rather unexpected, even though there are hints to it earlier. Justin Long is quite unconvincing as a gay character though. He tries hard to be camp but he is not quite there. I am a little surprised to see actresses put toys into their mouths for a non-porn film, as a screen cap of that with the wrong caption can send an entirely different message. It's a light hearted and fun comedy, just don't take it too seriously.
