It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
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.
The movie is all about how the guyz try to get the girlz. Beside being a great comedy movie, I think that it also carries an educational message to the youth. Bunz, and Rushon go through a lot of tricky things just to finaly get some 'o dat suga. Bunz: "I never had to go through this much s***, just to get a piece of a**". The weak sex is being exposed too. Some of its most unpleasant flows are revealed in the movie. Well, see it. I totaly recommend it.
Rushon has a date with Nikki who he has been seeing for 7 weeks without `getting up in there'. Nikki has asked that Roshon brings a friend for her friend Lysterine so Roshon brings along his hood rat friend Bunz. Despite a terrible date and constant bickering between Bunz and Lysterine the four hit it off and separate to their rooms to, well, get it on. However Nikki's insistence on safe sex sends the two men out on a quest for contraceptives that lead them into several adventures.I approached this with all the caution one would give to a rattlesnake in your bathroom. I knew it was going to one of those basic ethnic comedies where the main laughs will come from the characters acting in the stereotypical way black characters do in comedies and by saying `your ass' at the end of every sentence. Sadly I was bang on the money.To call the story a `plot' is doing it a great disservice this is no more than a couple of sketches thrown together with one thread holding it as one film. We have 1: the date, 2: the shops and 3: the hospital. And that's it! This doesn't matter as long as it's funny but the humour here is aimed at an undemanding black audience. It's also crude, racist, lazy and relies on the characters arguing in loud fast voices and saying `motherf*cker' and `ass' every few minutes.Sadly this is still funny if you're in the mood! As much as I wanted to hate it I still enjoyed it. Many of the sketches are amusing and some of the dialogue is good. However too much of it is lazy ethnic stuff. Some scenes smack badly of racism like Bunz insulting Indian shopkeepers by telling them to go back to Pakistan or calling a diner at a Chinese restaurant `Bruce Lee'. Can you imagine a white character in a `white' film getting away with that?However the bad taste is usually removed by the next good line so it's not too bad. Foxx is not a great actor I find him to be a poor man's Martin Lawrence or Eddie Murphy and he really just overplays his `hood rat' character to the hilt. Davidson is his straight-man and is not memorable as a result. Jones is cute and looks great in that white lingerie and Fox is as sexy as ever despite a terrible hairdo. However both the women are both black woman stereotypes and do the whole hand-waving, head-wiggling thing too much. The most surprising bit of casting was Art Malik as one of the shop keepers he'd already done City of Joy and True Lies, so why did he decide that a role in this would be the way to go?Overall this is very basic and really pretty poor. The plot could be written on the back of an matchbox, the jokes are crude at best and racist at worst and it's very hit and miss even if you're in the mood. Sadly I still enjoyed it and found it funny. If you like this type of thing then this will please you no ends.
Booty Call is one of the funniest urban films ever made. Jamie Foxx had his first starring role in this film and he showed that he could carry a movie. Tommy Davidson plats second string to Foxx but the two make a great comic team. Vivca Fox is also very sexy in this movie. I love it.
