The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down
Tongue-in-cheek look at 20-something singles clubbing and partying in L.A. Voice-over narration, charts and graphs, and visits to a research laboratory punctuate the story of a single night when groups of friends go out, drink alcohol, take drugs, dance and talk, and look for someone to go home with.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Seriously, every college student/random young adult, planning on coming to party in South Beach ( or LA or NYC ) should view this film. It's a serious look at the party " do and don't " list.Basic party manners and how to avoid the pitfalls of everyone not wanting you to come to the next party are contained.View it with the same mind that had to sit through the stupid movies in traffic school. It's not meant to be anything but a guide. I don't think the characters were supposed to evolve. They set out with basic characters that the viewer could identify with ( at least one of them for each viewer ). They put them in a party situation and allowed each to stay in that environment with the aide of the guide.If you're viewing hoping to get an academy award performance from a virtually unknown cast of party peeps in LA - you're out of luck. If you'd like to go and party like a rock-star, take notes. Nothing worse in a party than someone who has no class or party savvy.
just finished watching B&G's guide... awesome movie. I've seen myself in so many of those scenarios in real life... and people who say this only happens in L.A. haven't lived in Las Vegas, because living here in Vegas is this movie time and time again. Your talking about the number one party city in the world. This stuff happens on a daily basis over here. Back to the movie though, great movie and explained the scene great. Loved the house party scenes. I would give an A to the director, especially for being one of his first films... If you haven't seen this movie i definitely suggest going to go watch it, especially if your in the party scene.
One of the most originally hilarious movies I'd seen in a long time. From rating other movies I'd seen, this was a recommendation and I took a chance on it. I watched it probably 20 times in the course of 2 weeks with different groups of friends, none said one bad thing about it. One of my friends actually went online and bought it. For a movie that has no A B or C list actors, I thought it was great.The mockumentary style of presenting 'How to get down' was well played. You can't take the movie seriously or you will be disappointed, it's not a real guide. Enjoy the fun at pokes at this lifestyle, and it might help if you are / were someone who parties, so that you can relate to the movie. People really are like this.
I would rather eat my own vomit than watch one more minute of this dreck.IMDb's automated Editor warns that I must include ten lines of text without adding unnecessary padding or else my privileges will be suspended. I do not think this movie deserves any more than two lines. So please do not take my slightly extended review as any indication that this movie warrants any attention whatsoever.The Boys & Girls guide is a movie about the do's and don'ts of partying. If Swingers is the Rolls Royce of the genre, The Boys & Girls Guide is a rusty tricycle accidentally dredged from the Hudson River by a bass fisherman.Holy abysmal, Batman. Negative like 26 stars. Was this a practical joke? Come on guys, where's the hidden camera?
