Jake's Booty Call

Generation Y's Male Manifesto
Jake's Booty Call is one of the best films I have ever seen. I can't believe I would actually write those words, but I do so for the simple reason that I can't believe this film was actually made.

This film is the male component of Generation Y's world in a nutshell. It shows our love for music of the 60s, films of the 70s, and the video game revolution of the 80s. For many males of Generation Y, the whole world was easily accessible by airplane, and for our young men, it was upon foreign soil where many of life's ropes were learned.

From a production standpoint, JBC is amazingly well executed. The soundtrack is so good it deserves to be released separately; the camerawork and animation seems a labor of love. I do not believe any corners were cut with this film -- I believe it was produced exactly as the creators imagined it. I wonder how much of a say the sagely folks of National Lampoon had in its production.

I would guess that many people who...

Off the hook!
If you have played the Jake's Booty Call series of flash games The Romp created, you will enjoy this movie. Just like the games really, it's not the sort of movie you can laugh hard at with a group of people unless you are truly self confident and feel comfortable with whoever is watching it with you- which was probably it's downfall when it was being screened early on in the advertising campaign. I laughed as hard as hell throughout the movie myself, and could easily watch it many times over. Get yourself a JD and coke and sit back 'n relax for this one. If you love Jake's form, you will not be disappointed. If you like a bumpin' soundtrack too, they don't let you down there either. Printz Board's "Keep It Jumping" and other awesome tracks make the movie feel truly pimpin.

For those of you who haven't played the games before, I suggest you get into them before watching the movie for maximum appreciation and understanding. Some people just don't get it, since they've never...

Any guy can relate...
I played the Booty Call flash games in college (they're still out there) and loved Jake's attitude and the way he talked. Me and my friends have so many one-liners from the games that it's kind of obnoxious but mostly hilarious. Watching this movie is pure vicarious entertainment. You laugh at how direct and sexual Jake is with women and wish you could be too.

The story does not matter at all. It is all about Jake revisiting territory he did in the games, except it is a passive experience instead of an interactive one. If this was made into an interactive DVD like the Harold and Kumar 2 Blu-ray, it would be even more amazing than it is!
