8 Reasons to See "For a Good Time, Call..."

If you liked Bridesmaids and want more lady-anchored comedy, you've got to see For a Good Time, Call...  Not only will you laugh and leave the theater feeling warm-and-fuzzy about your best girl friends, but you'll know your movie ticket supported a new crop of up-and-coming comedy writers and actors. Maybe it seems mildly ridiculous to view seeing a movie as an activist duty, but if we want more movies that showcase women in a real way, we should definitely support the women making it happen. The cast and writers of For a Good Time, Call... are great examples of the new generation of female film makers taking over Hollywood, on their own terms. When co-writers and real-life friends Lauren Anne Miller and Katie Anne Naylon couldn't get their script made through the studios, the duo took on the project themselves, shooting the film in just 16 days with the cast and crew they wanted. The project was a hit at Sundance this year and was picked up by Focus Features. The result is a rollicking, laugh-out-loud film that's more raunch-com than chick-flick and celebrates female friendship and sexuality more than the genre ever has before.  If that's not enough to get you to a theater come August 31 when the movie opens in select cities, click on for seven more reasons to support Hollywood's newest indie darlings.
