Review For For a Good Time, Call...
Unfortunately Travis lacks the comedic skill and humanistic insight to make this anything more than Judd Apatow lite. Drew Hunt-Chicago Reader A fun, healthy, sexy comedy that pulls no punches and focuses on a realistic female friendship and the powerful dynamic that sexuality plays in our lives. Amanda Mae Meyncke-Film.com The film is worth seeing for the humor and for its high level of energy, but it falls short of being the "complete package." James Berardinelli-ReelViews Is it one for the ages? No. Is it a good time? Good enough. Tom Long-Detroit News The film (a) is not recommended for the prudish and (b) does not live up to its title. Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer The film is a wobbly attempt to follow in the stilettos of "Bridesmaids," but its tissue-sharp punch lines and undernourished characters fall woefully short. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune short on laughs and high on vulgarity Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies For a Good Time, Call... is one of those pleasant surprises sometimes experienced in the cinema when the Gods of Celluloid, reading your attendance as a sign of defeat, take pity and alchemise the material you'd braced yourself to despise. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray Tedious and repellent: avoid. Rachel Cooke-Observer [UK] If there's one thing more annoying than the dumb mainstream sex comedy, it's the dumb mainstream sex comedy that has aspirations towards indie funk. Donald Clarke-Irish Times Colourful direction and sparky performances help make this friendship comedy watchable, although it never seems like a finished film. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com The film keeps trying to be filthy and outrageous, but is actually rather timid. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] What saves this ultimately charming indie... from its inescapable sitcomishness and an over-reliance on some tired stereotypes is that it does manage genuine cuteness in a realm that has enormous potential to be icky and crude. MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher Ari Graynor and Lauren Anne Miller are great as the sassy pair and despite a veneer of sex, in truth the film is more about friendship. Mark Adams-Daily Mirror [UK] Disarmingly sweet, defending the girls' enterprise and friendship in the face of all judgment. Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK] Transcends the more pat aspects of its story, connecting in fun fashion by sheer force of personality. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness Has emotional authenticity and a decent laugh quotient, but overall enjoyment is marred by general ridiculous and unresolved sub-plots. Priscilla Eyles-Little White Lies Earns points for focusing on the central female friendship and for its refreshingly frank and breezy attitude to sex, though it's slightly let down by a late-arriving plot development that fails to fully convince. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Think American Pie (without the sight gags) meets Sex and the City (without the gloss) and you've got this, a girls-on-top comedy that's all spit and no polish. Elliott Noble-Sky Movies Watching [Travis] add his kitschy touch to such a witless, faux-edgy movie can only be described as a Travis-ty. David Fear-Time Out For A Good Time delivers, yes, exactly that. Josh Winning-Total Film [It] sports such a puppy-ish desire to be liked, but for a really good time, you'd be better off just watching Bridesmaids again. Eddie Harrison-The List The idea that phone sex workers can turn out to be quite different than their disembodied voices imply might be worth exploring by a more earnest, diligent and engaged intelligence than whatever drove this project. Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette The two charmingly funny leads and smart, timely dialogue are what make the film work; bottom line, calling upon this comedy flick will definitely result in a good time. Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant Naughty but nice. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
