Editorial Reviews

Okay, so Booty Call is trashy and often sophomoric. It is still funny.
Tommy Davidson and Tamala Jones have been dating for almost two months
and are pushed into that big romantic night by best friends Jamie Foxx
and Vivica A. Fox (as the hysterically named "Lysterine"). The
friends, of course, engage in a verbal war based on instant loathing
and mutual attraction. The humor is low-brow and sometimes
stereotypical, but this is worth watching just for the scene in which
the two guys, concerned about "safe sex," cover themselves in plastic
wrap. It pushes the envelope, which is fun, but the clearly homophobic
tendencies cause it to lose ground. Still, there is chemistry between
the players and plenty of laugh-out-loud scenes. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Perfect comedic chemistry lead by Jami Foxx, March 16, 2003
Reviewer:
Andrew Taber - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
Comedy is context specific and thus culturally bound, however "Booty
Call" taps into universal themes about differences between guys and
gals in terms of "us" vs. "them." It's a hoot! I don't like any other
movies that get lumped into the same category of "Booty Call" with
young black men sworn to "Get Some," but the chemistry between the
characters, lead by Jamie Foxx, is so perfect. I would have loved to
watch them making this film--there must be some hysterical outakes.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because it's a little
too preachy on the "safe sex" message. Besides that message it's a
perfect laugh riot.

This would be average..., January 26, 2003
Reviewer:
Ensio N Mikkola "book worm" (Gaithersburg, MD United States) - See all
my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This would be your average "brothas gotta git some" stereotypical
comedy of errors (see "Two Can Play That Game") but Jamie Foxx, damn
that man. He's one of the funniest comics alive today, and that's no
exaggeration. I love the guy's shtick and the "Bunz" character, which
is 100% Jamie Foxx, just makes this a fun romp. I've heard some
complaints about the DVD release of this (which I don't own) so be
forewarned, the DVD could be a load of rubbish. Don't buy the DVD!
There, I've done my public service announcement. Now read the rest of
my review.
Fortunately, I had the pleasure of watching this on VHS a few years
back.
I honestly don't remember laughing so hard in my life. And 99% of the
time I was laughing at Bunz. The other characters, Lysterine (Vivica
A. Fox), Rashon (Tommy Davidson) and Nikki (Tamala Jones) are just
window dressing. Foxx simply steals every scene he's in. With the
exception of the angry lady scene and Bernie Mac's HILARIOUS cameo,
oh, and of course, the blatantly stereotypical convenience store
clerks, they are just there to act as foils for the impossibly funny
Bunz. You know, instead of that big butt on the movie sleeve, they
should have put Jamie Foxx's face on the cover. Anyway, minor spoilers
ahead. These are my favorite scenes.
The Chinese restaurant! Bunz exchange with the waiter, Bunz speaking
Chinese (he learned it from watching Kung Fu movies with...ah, I won't
even spoil the joke!)
Bunz doing impressions spot on of William Shatner and Martin Luther
King while er...you'll see!
Bottom line: Jamie Foxx is a genius. Don't mind the critics who pass
this off as sophomoric. Well, of course it is! But like the editorial
review says, it's funny. This will most likely become a cult classic
now that Foxx's career is starting to really take off.

Hilarious and smart, an underrated movie destined to be a
classic farce., February 20, 2006
Reviewer:
SHAWN JAMES "Amateur Film critic" (Bronx, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
I didn't expect to like Booty Call. On the surface it seemed like just
another ghetto comedy, however, it's actually a clever sex farce that
shows African-Americans in a positive light. In between the raunchy
jokes there are some great messages in this intelligent story about
safe sex and relationships between African-Americans.
The plot is simple: Rushon, a guy who is in a relationship with a girl
for seven weeks hasn't been able to get any. So he recruits his buddy
Bunz to go out on a double date with him with her next door neighbor
Listerine. After a dinner of Scrimp fried rice at the Chinese
restaurant they play some cards and a hilarious game of footsie under
the table-one thing leads to another and...The guys have to go to the
store to buy some condoms. $38.00 overspent at a Chinese store for
lamsbskin condoms and some hilarious Yo-Yo jokes later it's back to
the cribs and after some wickedly funny impressions from Jamie Foxx
one thing leads to another...Unfortunately the condoms are lambskin,
no good for safe sex. Back to the store again for latex condoms. The
Chinese store is closed, but the Arab store cross-town is open 24
hours. They get the condoms but the killer the dog has to go for a
walk...A dog chase later and one thing leads to another...it's back to
the store for plastic wrap. More gags about a white robber and back to
the crib for a nearly fatal Saran wrap disaster. The guys get tired of
the blocking and decide to go home. Trying to hail a cab, the guys run
into a paranoid cab driver. Dude drops his gun and bolts out of his
cab. Rushon gets shot. Nothing serious just needs some stitches. A
farcical trip to the hospital to get those stitches will leave you in
stitches. After having to put up with so much Davidson's character
finally gets some. Bunz on the other hand...Well, you'll have to see
the DVD to find out what happens with him.
Tommy Davidson gives a solid straight man performance and Jamie Foxx
steals scenes a Bunz, the happy go lucky buddy always looking for a
good time. His best scene is where he does the impressions. Foxx's
take on Dr. King's "Free at last" is hilarious! Tamala Jones is solid
as Davidson's love interest Viveca A. Fox is a hoot as Listerine, the
middle class woman with the freak inside her.
Creatively Booty Call is an innovative film destined to be a classic
in the future. It's very rare to see African-American comedians tackle
different comedy styles like dark comedy and farcical comedy in a
movie and do it so well; normally I have to watch white movies like
Heathers and Clockwatchers to see that type of humor utilized. The
entire cast has a great script to work with featuring solid one-liners
that play to the actors' strengths. Davidson has room to be straight,
while Foxx has time to ad-lib and do his thing, impressions. Even
Tamala Jones and Viveca Fox get jokes in this movie. It's the sign of
a top quality black movie when the women have fully developed
characters that are the equal of their male counterparts. So many
black films forget about the sisters; I'm so glad the producers of
this film treated them with respect this time.
Booty Call is a Shawn James Five Star essential Video. Pick this on up
with How U Like Me now for a great at home African-American romantic
comedy double feature. Both these movies are side splittingly funny
while making statements about life in the black community.
This was a cute movie, June 6, 2005

this was a cute date movie or a movie where you might want to invite a
guy over to look at as you eat chineese food with some plum wine. As a
Jamie Foxx lover this movie would have suffered if he was not in it.
he made the movie. that is why i wanted to look at this movie. i would
like to see him and Vivica Fox do another movie. actually, i can see
them do a fun Doris Day/Rock Hudson remake, like "Pillow Talk" at
least Jamie can use his musical skills in it. if a producer reads
this, i hope they would really consider that because they make a nice
acting pair and i would love to see them do more movies together. i
truly enjoyed this movie. really cute.
Without Jamie Foxx, this movie would be awful, November 27,

A viewer "A viewer" (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews
Jamie Foxx was the perfect pick for the role of 'Bunz.' He captures
his personality perfectly and truly demonstrates why he is one of the
funniest men alive. Tommy Davidson was funny but not as funny as we're
used to seeing him, Vivica A. Fox was so so, and Tamala Jones was so
so as well. Jamie Foxx carries this movie on his back and the whole
condom aspect wouldn't be as funny had it not been for Jamie Foxx. A
must see for Jamie Foxx fans!

This movie is SOOOOOO funny! You absolutely must see this film. Jamie
Foxx and Tommy Davidson (alumni from "In Living Color") have a series
of hilarious mishaps on the way to scoring with their girlfriends.
Don't miss it!
