This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out to talk about the 2012 comedy For A Good Time, Call, which is currently available on Amazon Prime. This movie is an absolute fever dream of homosexual delight.
It follows the story of Katie and Lauren, enemies turned roommates turned love of one another’s lives. What’s even better is that it is actually written by Seth Rogen’s wife Lauren and her friend Katie. We honestly cannot even handle the implications of this backstory and we hope it means that they are all in an open relationship with each other.
Katie is a late 20s/early 30 something virgin who works as a phone sex operator and is terrified to actually talk to or date men in person. She pretends to be a huge slut who has been with tons of guys, so that no one notices that she is actually very gay. She also actively avoids being friends with girls. Katie and Lauren went to college together and share a gay best friend. They hate each other, because one time Katie was drunk and got her pee all over Lauren while she was driving her home from the bar. They both end up in housing crises and of course their GBF decides the best plan is for Katie and Lauren to become roommates. This is where everything gets truly chaotic and gayer than we ever could have hoped for.
Lauren purposefully walks in on Katie when she hears her moaning (instead of putting on headphones like a normal roommate), immediately inserts herself further into Katie’s life by helping her start her own phone sex hotline, and then everything goes from 0 to 60 real fast. From Lauren putting Katie’s dildo into her mouth to mimic the sound of a bj, to both women having practice phone sex while touching each other, to literally having a phone sex threeway and then falling asleep in the same bed, it all gets very gay very quickly.
These women are so in love and yet the movie insists on giving Katie a male love interest. We can’t be too upset though, because the male love interest very clearly comes second to her relationship with Lauren. Right after having sex for the very first time, Katie’s first thought is ‘I love Lauren.’ She fully says this out loud to her boyfriend while he is still inside her!! How this wasn’t her gay awakening we really do not know.
