- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAlthough the movie is a wall-to-wall exercise in bad taste, it somehow retains a certain innocence; it challenges and sometimes shocks, but for me at least it didn't offend, because its motives were so obviously good-hearted.
- 70The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenThis contemporary sex farce, directed by Jeff Pollack, has the attention span of a hyperactive child, but its bawdy sexual humor rarely flags.
- The name is enough to clue you in that this is not highbrow humor. In fact, it will appeal mostly to those who can appreciate basic juvenile humor.
- 67Austin ChronicleRussell SmithAustin ChronicleRussell SmithWithin the context of films that include the word booty in their titles, it serves up an unusually fresh, inventive and good-natured brew of pure lascivious fun.
- 63ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliBooty Call isn't a source of nonstop laughs, and there are a lot of gags that fall flat, but, on those sporadic occasions when something works, the result can be hilarious.
- 60Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorChicago ReaderLisa AlspectorThere are moments of high hilarity in the slapstick that results when the characters attempt to minimize mucus-membrane contact during sex.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThere are moments of lewd hilarity, like a game of footsie that turns genderifically confused. But Booty Call loses its dirty-minded, how-low-will-they-go-to-get-laid edge when the boys venture out into the New York night to buy condoms.
- 50San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleBooty Call never quite gets tiresome, thanks to the appealing cast and its sexy-goofy spirit. The picture succeeds in finding jokes within jokes.
- 50Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittWith the exception of a few laughs - including a hysterical footsie scene and another that involves Saran Wrap - this one's a no-brainer.
- 25The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyAt 70 minutes, this groin and groan comedy seems almost dismissively short, but don't believe the myths you've been told: longer is not always better.
