Booty Call (1997)
6/10
A reasonably funny "black" comedy
9 January 2004
I haven't seen too many of these "black" comedies, only this and The Wash, but I guess it's somewhat good. The Wash was definitely better, but this is pretty much the same style, so if you like one, you probably will like the other. If the choice is between this and The Wash, I'd choose the latter. But that isn't to say that this is bad. It just isn't as good as it could've been. The plot is something a lot of guys will recognize, the hunt for a booty call. This is sort of a "what if" scenario, dealing with the question: "What if you had to go through a lot of ridiculous trials to get the booty?" And some of the trials are truly ridiculous. But far-out isn't the same as bad; a lot of the humor is good, as long as you can take some rough, gross & extreme humor. There are a lot of semi-nude scenes, and sex scenes, but never any direct nudity. I don't know if this is to open it up to more audiences; I guess there are people who don't care about sexual humor but can't stand to see some nudity. If you've seen The Wash, or something similar, and you liked it, maybe you should check this out. Just keep your expectations reasonably low, so you don't get disappointed. 6/10
