For A Good Time, Call… Red-Band Trailer

It’s inevitable. With the success of “Bridesmaids”, it’s opened the doors for more female-led comedies with raunchy guy-humour. This is Exhibit A, ladies and gentlemen. “For A Good Time, Call…” debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, Mecca for low-budget indie films, and was very well received. Upcoming director Jamie Travis, working with co-writer and star Lauren Miller, have taken a leaf from the Judd Apatow hit album and come up with a comedy about phone sex operators. As this NSFW Red-Band trailer proves, they’ve not shied away from the rude language and sex stuff. It also features Justin Long in a very disturbing porn goatee. Could be this year’s funniest movie, or a painful bomb. So far, the evidence is pointing a wee bit towards the former…

Here’s the official synopsis: “The reserved Lauren (played by Lauren Anne Miller) and the irrepressible Katie (Ari Graynor) are polar opposites… and past enemies. But when both come up short on the funds needed to afford their dream New York City apartment a mutual friend (Justin Long) re-introduces them and they reluctantly agree to room together. These apartment-mates have nothing in common – until Lauren discovers that Katie is working as a phone-sex operator, and recognizes a good business opportunity. But as their business partnership takes off, their newfound friendship finds unexpected challenges that may leave them both, as they say, hanging on the telephone.”

“For A Good Time, Call…” premieres 7th September in the US. No word on a local release yet.
