Film: For A Good Time, Call...
Director: Jamie Travis
Starring: Ari GraynorLauren Miller and Justin Long
Running Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
Rating: 8/10

In an attempt to avoid Bond, and still maintain our semi regular dinner and a movie date, JC and I decided to check out For A Good Time, Call....

A low-budget comedy, this is the story of two women who, after a falling out on the day they met in college, find themselves, ten years down the line, moving in together after a little matchmaking from a mutual friend (the excellent Justin Long) and once they start to become friends, setting up their own phone sex line out of their living room.

Considering the premise, this film could have been all about sex jokes, but the phone sex is an side and the story focused more on the relationship between these two polar opposites than it did on the business they set up.

Ari Graynor excels, reminding me why I'm a big fan of hers (she has some of the best scenes in Nick and Norah's). Lauren Miller has moved from a bit part actress (and Mrs. Seth Rogen) and does a great job of her first lead role.

All-in-all a warm, funny, story about letting go of misconceptions and getting to know the people around you.

Recommended.
