Review of For a Good Time, Call... (2012) by Jon C — 29 Nov 2012
A fun, crude, and hilarious comedy.
Two girl roomates formulate a plan to make their own sex hotline in order to make ends meet.
Hijinks and raw laughs ensue between two very different people who embrace their sexuality via telephone.
The performances from both Graynor and Miller are pretty damn fun to watch.
The dialogue is insanely funny and gratuitous.
There's a very strange cameo in here too by Nia Vardalos.
Justin Long adds a nice touch being the supporting gay best friend mentoring these two girls.
It's just very awkwardly humorous listening to these people talk in this kind of film, there's interestingly no actual sex happening on screen, no boobs, no ass, no exposed body parts.
The plot mainly focuses on the bonding relationship bewteen the two leads which is a good break from the usual norm we're used to.
I can't help but feel though that the filmmakers didn't have anything left at the end, some of it felt unfinished and unresolved.
For all those problems, 'For A Good Time, Call..' is another one of those indie flicks that just lets loose and has some fun while doing it.
