One of the many challenges in life is
finding what your true calling is. I say this as in finding that one thing that
just feels like you were meant to do it. Sometimes it takes you failing in
order for you to find your talents. “For a Good Time, Call” explores this
subject and the result just might surprise you.
Lauren (Lauren Miller) lives a pretty
boring life. She works as a publishing assistant and lives with her boyfriend.
There is not much excitement in Lauren’s world; I mean she doesn’t even take
off her bra when having sex. Katie (Ari Graynor) is a writer who lives in, what
use to be her grandmother’s apartment. Katie’s life is everything but dull, she
calls herself a writer but keeps waiting for the inspiration so that she can
start her novel. In the mean time she works multiple jobs so she can keep her
apartment. Lauren’s boyfriend takes a
job in Italy and leaves Lauren with no place to live. Luckily Jesse (Justin
Long) has a solution for both Lauren and Katie’s financial problems, which is
for them to live together. Katie in college left a bad taste in Lauren’s mouth
and the two have not been friends since. Lauren does move in with Katie and
finds out one of the jobs she has is as a phone sex operator. When Lauren loses
her job she decides to help Katie and together they build a very profitable
business. It seems even in the age of the internet, men still love the song of
a women’s voice and are willing to pay for it. Lauren even discovers with the
help of Katie that she is not boring at all; they both seem to find their true
calling.
“For a Good Time, Call is a surprisingly
an enjoyable movie to watch. Although the story may be to risqué for some, it
never goes past any line it shouldn’t. The movie was co-written by star Lauren
Miller with Katie Anne Naylon. Miller does a great job in the lead role, but
the movie is stolen every time Ari Graynor is on the screen. Graynor is the
perfect combination of Kate Hudson and Bette Midler and is a joy to watch. This
is one of those movies that if you judged the trailer you may pass on it, but
don’t. It’s one of those little enjoyable films that most people miss. So do
yourself a favor and take the time and watch this film, and have a good time in
doing so.
