MOVIE REVIEW - For A Good Time...Call

Now here comes a movie that is in very limited release, and you'll see why.  But For A Good Time..Call, is a movie you won't soon forget.

This movie is a good example of a mixture of extreme raunch, comedy, and modern humor that has its moments, and can make you laugh if you have an open mind and and open sense of humor.   It is rated R, and is very deserving of it.   And when I say extreme raunch, you can take it to the bank.

It's the story of two attractive women in their 20's who live in New York City.  They are complete opposites in very regard.  One is very educated and proper from money.  The other is from the wrong side of the tracks and rough and raw.   They end up being roommates because of financial need. And at first are not friends.    Then after money really gets tight, and they have no real jobs, they decide to start up a phone-sex line to try to make some money.  And it is wildly successful.

Then reality starts to creep in.   Namely, can they keep this going, and away from their families? And can they really do this forever?   And what ramifications does this kind of work have on your personal life?  That is For A Good Time...Call.

Should be noted this is highly adult in every regard.   There is extreme raunch, with incredibly adult language and situations.  There is no real nudity here to speak of, but there is plenty of raunch to go around.   There are also some guilty pleasure laughs that you may find yourself surprised that you are laughing at.

What this movie does well, is develop two very distinct and interesting lead characters in our two young women.  They are funny, relatable, and original.  What this movie is, is a continuation of raunchy comedies for young adult women like, Bridesmaids.  But this is not Bridesmaids.  But the feeling is the same. Raunchy, edgy situations that young women will identify with.   This is not your typical "date movie" there could be better choices for that.

For A Good Time...Call.    Not for everyone.  Leave Nana at home.  Girls night out is best.
