Reviews: For a Good Time, Call… (2012)

Reviews for this film from our members:

• Jason Bailey @ DVD Talk
  • Excerpt: One comes away from ‘For A Good Time, Call…’ wishing that the filmmakers would have taken a few more risks, or found somewhere more interesting for the story to go. Still, it’s tough to complain too much about as giddy and good-natured a sex comedy as this one.
• Patrick Bromley @ DVD Verdict
• Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
  • Excerpt: It’s certainly an amusing premise, but sweetness and raunch are a tricky mix. Judd Apatow excels at it. First timers Miller and Naylon aren’t quite there yet.
• Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
  • Excerpt: Perhaps the barely audible, rhythmic slapping sounds are meant to shore up the whole thing. After all, those are funny, right?
• Cynthia Fuchs @ PopMatters
  • Excerpt: Lauren insists she can learn to be a phone sex operator: “I am good at everything, you know that.”
• Kimberly Gadette @ doddle
  • Excerpt: It’s a breezy, slightly pristine romp that, by its very nature of the virtual hands-off concept of ringing the caller’s bell without so much as mussing one’s hair, affirms that the bighearted sex-capade is alive and well.
• Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
  • Excerpt: Smutty and salacious, this female relationship comedy appeals to the libidinous ‘Sex and the City’ and ‘Bridesmaids’ crowd.
• MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
  • Excerpt: Sitcomish antics and a stereotypes aside, this is a frank and funny look at women’s friendships and women’s sexuality…

• Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
  • Excerpt: As satisfying as a vibrator without batteries, “For a Good Time, Call…” is a superficially ribald sex comedy that lacks “sex” and “comedy.”
