4.0 out of 5 stars they dont make straight dvd like they used to, February 12, 2010

This review is from: The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (DVD)

I laughed out loud! I think what makes this movie hilarious is that you know one guy/girl JUST like that. Or you chuckle because you HATE when *that* happens. Also .... you aren't expecting this movie to be funny because its straight to DVD so it kind of hits you out of nowhere. I mean, if you pop in a straight to DVD, you're probably not expecting something better than the big screen. (sidenote: big screen movies are all the same now ... so previous statement is becoming less applicable to current movies).

The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down - think Cant Hardly Wait but with hipsters, drugs, and sex.

The DVD has narration describing various party goers throughout a hard night of getting into clubs, getting drugs, and getting laid. The narrator shells out tons of tips/potential dangers; he discusses the art of mastering the night life, how to get rid of a one night stand, the subtleties of drug dealer time, how to roll a joint, how to tell the difference between fun drugs and "sketchy" drugs, how to get into clubs, how to master the after party. I think you'll know immediately if you like the movie or not. I personally think the movie looked very well put together for straight to DVD. I can see aspects of the film that might not make it pleasurable to watch in a theater. But that doesnt make this a bad film thats not worth your time - definitely better scriptwriting than a Steven Segal flick, for sure.

If you're still wondering, I think the movie is fairly represented by the trailer. If you like the vibe of the trailer ... then risk it and get this DVD; its funny!!
(And, as far as straight to DVD comedies ... this might challenge Sex Drive as my favorite)

4.0 out of 5 stars This movie rings true!, September 10, 2007

This review is from: The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down (DVD)

I was lucky enough to preview a pre-production DVD and shared it with a friend who lived this life for years. She said it was spot-on and skewered every stereotype and cliche (and what is L.A. if not stereotypes and cliches?) of the Hollywood party scene. But so much of it is universal.The scene where they drive home the morning after, as the public is just beginning their day, really rang true with me, and I grew up in a city on the east coast. Watch for the very cool 1960's convertible!

5.0 out of 5 stars Debauchery @ its finest, August 27, 2007

Totally one of a kind. Not a big budget, over-produced, concept comedy - but a great little adventure one night in Hollywood. We follow a handful of 20/30 somethings on a typical weekend night, all on the prowl to have a good time. There's the bitchy girls, the dorky guys, the punk rockers, the hipster boys, and the 80's rappers.... who all flow in and out of one another's storylines. There are trippy graphics/narration that reminds you of a government how-to guide from the 60's. We are taught how to get into a club, how to find a good house party, how to score drugs, why scoring drugs can lead to heart attacks, how to avoid that boy or girl that you really shouldn't hook up with, and generally how to navigate a successful night on the town.
