A breezy, sweet, and utterly winning comedic vehicle that moves so quick you'll be willing to overlook some of its clichés and nonsensical qualities

| Jul 30, 2019

The setup here is excruciatingly long.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 21, 2018

For a Good Time, Call... is a film that works because of it's strong performances and funny script.

| Apr 2, 2018

Co-lead Ari Graynor gives the sort of breakout performance that the film requires.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 10, 2016

Constantly ducks away from any semblance of adult sexuality, indulging in garish colors and giggle fits.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

It's a comedy that isn't always funny as it struggles to find the right tone between raunchy and sweet. It celebrates female friendship in a way few movies do, but good intentions don't always make for a good film.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 15, 2013

the concept was rife with possibilities that could synergize with Graynor's fresh appeal as well as her rising-star status. Neither the possibilities nor the synergy happens, mainly due to an underdeveloped story.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 21, 2013

Sure, there's some ribald humor, and the subject matter is clearly edgy. However, it's really a sweet story of friendship wrapped in a sexy package.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 28, 2013

short on laughs and high on vulgarity

| Nov 11, 2012

For a Good Time, Call... is one of those pleasant surprises sometimes experienced in the cinema when the Gods of Celluloid, reading your attendance as a sign of defeat, take pity and alchemise the material you'd braced yourself to despise.

| Nov 5, 2012

Tedious and repellent: avoid.

| Nov 4, 2012

If there's one thing more annoying than the dumb mainstream sex comedy, it's the dumb mainstream sex comedy that has aspirations towards indie funk.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 2, 2012

Colourful direction and sparky performances help make this friendship comedy watchable, although it never seems like a finished film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 2, 2012

The film keeps trying to be filthy and outrageous, but is actually rather timid.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 1, 2012

What saves this ultimately charming indie... from its inescapable sitcomishness and an over-reliance on some tired stereotypes is that it does manage genuine cuteness in a realm that has enormous potential to be icky and crude.

| Nov 1, 2012

Ari Graynor and Lauren Anne Miller are great as the sassy pair and despite a veneer of sex, in truth the film is more about friendship.

| Nov 1, 2012

Disarmingly sweet, defending the girls' enterprise and friendship in the face of all judgment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 1, 2012

Transcends the more pat aspects of its story, connecting in fun fashion by sheer force of personality.

| Original Score: B+ | Nov 1, 2012

Has emotional authenticity and a decent laugh quotient, but overall enjoyment is marred by general ridiculous and unresolved sub-plots.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 1, 2012

Earns points for focusing on the central female friendship and for its refreshingly frank and breezy attitude to sex, though it's slightly let down by a late-arriving plot development that fails to fully convince.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2012
