Booty Call (1997)

BOOTY CALL is a hilarious primer on safe sex, with Jamie Foxx and 
Tommy Davidson as best buds told "no glove, no love" by their e-
qually eager counterparts (Vivica Fox and Tamala Jones).  The boys' 
quest to acquire that which must be worn-- and which must be found 
in the middle of the morning and in Chinatown, no less-- leads to a 
predictable, but roll-on-the-floor funny comedy of errors.  (David-
son's tug-of-war with a dog is a classic.  And don't miss an unbil-
led Art Malik as one of two punning Punjabi grocers.)  Though slow 
in spots, only the last half-hour is tedious.  That's when the mov-
ie moves into a hospital.  Groan.  Still, *some* medical attention 
may be necessary, as there's a strong likelihood that you'll laugh 
your ass off.  (Rated "R"/~90 min.)
