Reserved Lauren (Lauren Anne Miller) and bubbly Katie (Ari Graynor) are polar opposites and past enemies. However, when both gals find they lack sufficient funds to rent their dream apartment in New York City, they become reluctant roommates. Lauren and Katie have nothing in common -- until Lauren realizes that Katie's work as a phone-sex operator could become a great business opportunity. But, as the women's business partnership takes off, unexpected challenges threaten their new friendship.

Critics Consensus

Brisk, funny, and sweetly raunchy, For a Good Time, Call... adds to the recent string of R-rated female comedies while serving as an overdue coming out party for the charming Ari Graynor.

It's a comedy that isn't always funny as it struggles to find the right tone between raunchy and sweet. It celebrates female friendship in a way few movies do, but good intentions don't always make for a good film.

1/5

If there's one thing more annoying than the dumb mainstream sex comedy, it's the dumb mainstream sex comedy that has aspirations towards indie funk.

A breezy, sweet, and utterly winning comedic vehicle that moves so quick you'll be willing to overlook some of its clichés and nonsensical qualities
