Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Booty Call”

What did Ebert have to say about it?

You might suspect with the quality films that the late critic Roger Ebert has seen over the years that he would brutalize Booty Call but that wasn’t the case. Instead, Ebert mentioned that while the film wouldn’t go down as a classic, he admitted that it was hilarious and entertaining. Check out his analysis from the Chicago Tribune.

This is the raunchiest sex comedy I can remember– sort of an “Animal House Grosses Out.” Did I laugh? Sure. Did I recount some of the more incredible episodes to friends? You bet. Is the movie any good? Does goodness have anything to do with it? I walk out of movies like this wishing my parents had sent me to more concerts instead of letting me read Mad magazine. I’m astonished at some of the things I laugh at. But laugh I do.

Booty Call” is being advertised as a raucous exercise in vulgarity. It is. I laughed. So I must, to be honest and consistent, rate it accordingly–three stars. In an era when so many movies have no taste at all, a movie in bad taste is at least sailing under its true colors.
