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...

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.

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!
I did a fake casting of a movie when I was in college. It totally worked. I met tons of girls. I'm freaked out someone made a movie about it. I'm sure others have done this too. I wonder if the writer-director Martin Guigui lived it...Diedrich Bader is hilarious! "Cattle Call" is the funniest National Lampoon film I have seen since "Van Wilder". I heard they're making a sequel. I'd love to sneak onto that set. Chelsea Handler is a good actress. She should do more films. The actress Jenny Molen that played Marina is awesome. I heard she married Jason Biggs recently. I hope she's in the sequel. She was the best thing about "Cattle Call". There are a few very funny memorable scenes. One that I keep remembering is when the character of Sherman Oaks (played by Andrew Katos) thinks he is playing a great guitar solo, but he sucks and then Chelsea Handler still wants to have sex with him. The film reminds me of "Spinal Tap" sometimes. I rented if from Netflix and then I bought it so I can relive it, my past that is...
It ain't no Vacation movie but I guess I could say it was worth the rental..sorta. I had small mixed feelings about this movie. The premise of the movie was good, it was just the movie itself that was bad. Diedrich Bader had a very weak performance in this movie and Thomas Ian Nicholas showed me why again I never really found anything special about him. Although there were a few times where I laughed, the romantic parts felt like I was watching a bad TV-movie. If I were you, I would approach this movie with caution, you'll like it if you're a die-hard National Lampoon fan. You'll be disappointed if you're expecting a Dorm Daze movie. I just hope that there is no sequel in the works.
