Cattle Call

Okay, so it was shot on a shoe-string budget. That's not the point. Movie does elevate itself above its humble origin by showing a considerable lot of spark, even if firing in the wrong direction lots of timed. Biggest saving grace is Jenny Mollen, whom I recognized from ANGEL only because I took note of her name. Wonderful how a truly charming girl can brighten up the scene. The three miscreants have their own charm though, and as for constructive criticism, I'd simply say the producers were on the right track, as the film has a correct feel about it, especially with the hand-held camera footage, and that the girls were samplings from all walks of life.

A glaringly obvious Goof: If Reseda Camarillo reported the set-up after getting dumped, how come Nikita comes walking in immediately in the same scene as Reseda's getting dumped? Sherman still wears the lipstick smeared on him from the encounter as he switches targets. Filming clearly just took an efficient shortcut.

People renting this one know very well what they are renting. Don't complain if the content is kinda amateurish- looking. It's kinda how it is supposed to look. It is a fake casting agency with minimal equipment. So don't take your ire out on the poor defenseless movie. It is actually quite well done. The laugh is on the kind of reviewers who would say 1 - 10. They're in a bad place.

Three buddies think of a new scheme to meet women after lacking success on various dating sites. They decide to hold auditions for a movie that they have no intentions of making. All the women believe that they auditioning for a movie, while the guys are "auditioning" them to be their romantic partners.

Cattle Call is full of juvenile humor that will probably be enjoyed best by the teenage crowd. There are a few chuckles here and there and the cast is pretty solid. Cattle Call has a pretty good main cast. Their honestly wasted in this movie. The movie jumpstarts here and there, but is probably best avoided.

It has been my experience that 9 out of 10 National Lampoon movies are unwatchable, and while "National Lampoon Cattle Call" is far from the worst, it is still bad. Aside from the classic "Vacation", "Animal House", and "Van Wilder", and the marginal "Deadly Sins" and "Gold Diggers", everything else has been simply awful, including "Cattle Call". This is essentially a one joke movie, and the joke is both unoriginal, redundant, and boring. Most of the crude efforts for a laugh totally misfire, and the overly simplistic script simply has nowhere to go. The entire film seems tired from beginning to end. Throw in the towel early, because essentially you will not miss anything you haven't seen before. - MERK

The best in this movie is the intro music theme....

The plot is somewhat OK but the execution is bad....

The acting is bad.... I liked only the one that played the nerd strange guy from the leading roles but still he could improved his performance....

The dialogs and black humor is far from top.... The movie does have 1-2 funny moments

The movie does have a lot of pretty ladies!!!! probably on purpose....

I wouldn't suggest renting this movie...

The best in this movie is the intro music theme....

Ritchie and Sherman (Tom Nicholas and Andrew Katos) decide to set up a fake casting call to meet girls. It's a farce, so the characters are named Laurel Canyon, Glenn Dale, and Sherman Oaks. Diedrich Bader is the big name here....he's so much older than Nicholas and Katos. Odd casting. Waaay after drew carey and offie space. A small role for Jonathan Winters. At age eighty! Chelsea Handler, about the same time as her show and her book.. frontal female nudity. A funny note: in the roku channel description for this film, it states: three lonely friends Thomas ian Nicholas, Diedrich Bader) endure the wrath of women who responded to their fake casting call. I think they forgot to list one of the friends. It's all silly. The girls are buying into it, but will the poop hit the fan when the girls find out there's no film? Written and directed by martin guigui. Very impressive history and accomplishments! Check out his list of projects. Sadly, the film is rated a 3.7 as of today!
