One of the funniest urban films ever made

Booty Call is one of the funniest urban films ever made. Jamie Foxx had his first starring role in this film and he showed that he could carry a movie. Tommy Davidson plats second string to Foxx but the two make a great comic team. Vivca Fox is also very sexy in this movie. I love it.
