“For a Good Time, Call…” is the rare movie about the phone sex trade
that doesn’t treat the experience as flypaper for dysfunction, instead
generating a flighty, colorful atmosphere of salacious activity to
backdrop a thin but merry story of friendship. It’s rarely funny, yet it
sustains a jovial mood of naughty business, supported by two vivacious
performances from Ari Graynor and Lauren Anne Miller. Indecent enough to
fluster prudes and warm enough to win over female audiences, “For a
Good Time, Call…” is only undone by its pedestrian screenwriting, which
is so slavish to formula, it comes to destroy the big screen party
director Jamie Travis is fighting to maintain. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
