5.0 out of 5 stars Generation Y's Male Manifesto, September 14, 2008

By	lechateau (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

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 see this film will not enjoy it. BUT, if you happen to fall into the lucky window of being male and born around 1980, plus/minus about 7 years, (or you're interested in knowing what it's like to be from that demographic) I think you will love it. In that case, you will be amused by and enjoy all the references and imagery from our childhood, plus a great storyline (not hurt in the slightest by the protagonists' goals -- to party and get laid.) You'll love the visuals and soundtrack, and laugh at the fantastic assortment of slang terms employed (you practically need an urban dictionary to decode everything.)

With all that said, the bottom line is, I am thrilled that this film exists. It's got lines you'll find only here, and visuals you'll see only here. It's a completely original treatment of an entire generation's pop culture. I would give Jake's Booty Call 5 and 1/2 stars if I could. If you're lucky enough to own this DVD, enjoy it! If you don't yet own it, it's worth the price of admission!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse Than I Orginally Thought, September 1, 2008

By	Corey Bruebaker (Riverside, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used to be a huge fan of the flash series when romp.com was still alive and I still have all of those the animator created on a hard drive, and I WAS looking forward to the movie he was talking about making directly before the site shut down...but this is god-awful. What was he thinking when he created this? No wonder I never heard of it until now. And it was pure coincidence that I even found this on Amazon! Don't waste the $20 on this garbage...use it to go out and eat at a restaurant or find something else online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Off the hook!, March 14, 2008

By	A. Mackiewicz - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you have played the Jake's Booty Call series of flash games [...] created, you will definately 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, 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 heard of Jake before. For reference, all 33 of them are online at "Outer Reaches". Just google them (since I ain't allowed to give you a link).

5 Stars all round. Excellent value from Amazon.com - thanks guys! :D
