Pretty Good

Perfectly adorable

hyped garbage

"For a Good Time, Call..." has a story centered in the everyday of two young girls whose lives are filled with pornography and men, mainly due to the fact that the girls charge them boys for telephone sex. The film becomes funny once the shy female let herself loose and becomes being even more confident than her friend. Also, it's funny when both characters are normally lied down in the bed, doing customary things, while, in the phone, they're pretending to be "turned on", to say the least. It's important to notice that the main actresses are quite professional, since they're able to portray different feelings in characters that were supposed to be just crazy and nothing else. If filmmakers had a higher budget, I'm positive this film would've be relatively known... or maybe they would've just destroyed the amateurish story we have seen. Either way, albeit "For a Good Time, Call..." isn't a flick to change people's minds or to teach something new, it's a good entertainment without moral lessons, being surely recommended to teenagers and young adults. I had a great time!

Lauren Powell (Lauren Miller) has money trouble and needs a roommate for an amazing Gramercy Park apartment. Her best friend Jesse (Justin Long) finds her a roommate, only they already know each other. She's Katie (Ari Graynor) and was a college frenemy. The money trouble continues and Lauren decide to join Katie in a phone sex business. Lauren Miller is probably best known for being Seth Rogen's wife which is probably unfair. She's the co-writer and star of this movie. The chemistry between the girls is pretty good. There's up and down which is what the movie is about. The movie is marginally funny. Not all the setups work out well. The chemistry helps a little.

Contains SPOILERS: The blonde is totally vindictive and a brat and hated the brunette for no reason. She urinated in the brunette's car so the brunette kicked her out in a bad neighborhood. Uhhh, yeah, I would have done worse if some drunk fool did that in my new car. I would have been po'd, shoved her out of my car and would be tempted to strike her. I could see no reason for the blonde to hate her for that but whatever.Anyway, they become friends and business partners and so on and so on. Equally stupid is the blonde who is a very sexually open, flamboyant phone sex operator who ends up being a virgin (no offense to phone sex operators, I am one myself). A virgin? Uh...OK, LAME.Then that religious fanatic comes in undercover to apply for a job with the girls just to sabotage their business. Again, LAME.But it was fun for me to see the male callers that phoned in, LOL. Working in the industry myself, I got a laugh out of that, pretty accurate.

The film title doesn't mislead us. Sex toys, phones, and ladies are involved. It's also a relationship film, but an impressive variation from the usual romantic comedy angle.Like another film from this year, Giant Mechanical Man, a significant part of this story involves young adults finding themselves along with happiness after what they thought was a serious relationship was ended by the significant other. And so begins the adventure. It may be we have a new type of urban adventure involving main characters exploring the unchartered territories of themselves and those close to them.Unlike GMM, this is not nearly as predictable. Just when you think you know where it's headed, it shifts directions and explores areas that rarely get explored in film.It also does many of the artistic things that other films keep failing to do in terms of how and who the villains/enemies are and who those you can trust are.Another relatively low-key, indie film from 2012 doing new stuff that doesn't involve 3D, computer FX, or horribly loud audio blasted at the audience.
