hyped garbage
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Every single man's dilemma, how can he find a direct path to the kingdom of the holy grail? In the movie Booty Call stars Bunz (Jamie Foxx) and Rushon (Tommy Davidson) as they spend one night going out on a double date. Rushon been pursuing his lady for seven weeks and tonight is the night so he brings in the reserves with his best friend Bunz to give him the luck he needs. This adventure begins innocently enough and gets mixed up with a whole bunch of twist and turns. They go from down town to up down as they eat a meal and go out to get to find the proper protection for the evening. With the dog in tow the duo hit the road and finally seems like they are settled in when all of a sudden the green light gets stopped. Good to see the style of Bernie Mac as the Rev Judge in bring in purity voice. Seeing this movie showcase some young talent before they made it big, with lots of 90s references it is a fun to go back to a simpler age and time but the path to the holy grail is not a straight shot. But always remember that the woman is how the evening is going to end and as the movie's tag line, "some guys will do anything for a little somethin' something' " A laugh a minute.
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.
Forget race. Forget age. Forget social status. We all know the perils of getting, and giving, some; because of that, the humor of this movie is universal. This is one of those unbelievably rare comedies that is funny all the way through. Not only that, there are so many jokes and gags, that you will probably miss some of them because you're too busy laughing at the last one. Excellent movie to rent for a "stay-at-home" date.
