Booty Call

Enjoyed this film from the very beginning to the end and it had me laughing until my sides hurt. Jamie Foxx, (Bunz) along with Tommy Davidson, (Rushon) gave an outstanding performance as two guys trying to score with two gals who demanded Glad Wrap and were very particular about the type of condoms the guys were going to utilize. Vivica A Fox,(Lysterine) and Tamala Jones (Nikki) gave a great supporting role as the gals who Bunz and Rushon tried to score with. This film goes all around in Chinatown, a hospital and plenty of bedrooms and even a taxi cab. If you like Jamie Foxx and love his acting and comedy, this is the film you will greatly enjoy viewing.

Years before winning an Oscar for Ray, the biopic about Ray Charles, Jamie Foxx was in Booty Call, a much less serious movie. Here, he is Bunz, the best friend of Rushon(Tommy Davidson), who is dating Nikki(Tamala Jones), and they decide on a double date, adding Lysterine(Vivica A. Fox) to the mix. All is going smoothly until the couples get in the mood, but the two guys don't have protection for safe sex. Most of film entails Foxx and Davidson on a quest to find condoms and their disastrous results.

Foxx has proved to be an incredibly versatile actor; from Ray, to Any Given Sunday, and even In Living Colour, the guy is a major talent. Booty Call is a silly, lightweight comedy, but Foxx and his costars make it funny and endearing. It is a one note joke, but the four major players work well together for a breezy 80 minutes.

Booty Call is one of the funniest movies to come along in many years. Jamie Foxx absolutely steals the show. He has some really funny, memorable lines, and is adept at physical humor. Even though the material is of an overtly sexual nature, the message of the film is definitely that monogamy is cool. A real over-achiever of a film. Was probably made on a shoestring budget, but delivers more laughs than any high-priced Eddie Murphy comedy. A must-see!

After watching this movie, it was hard to move because my sides hurt so much from laughing. The hilarious standout performances of Vivica Fox, Tamala Jones, Tommy Davidson, and Jamie Foxx make this movie an entertaining film for anyone -- black or white, male or female. The knockout, yet brief, performance of Gedde Wantanabe (Long Duc Dong of Sixteen Candles) is enough to make you rewind the dinner scene again and again and again.

This movie is not as highly regarded as it should be. It should be up in the ranks of "Casablanca", "Gone with the Wind", and "How to be a Player starring Bill Bellamy". This movie has some of the greatest one liners that have even been thought up. Jamie Foxx gives a performance that is equal to that of Marlon Brando in "Godfather". This one gets and A-OK from me, the Communist Critic.
