“Maybe the girl got a brutha uptown with nine inches of ding dong knockin’ the bottom out your ass.”
- Bunz, Booty Call
I realized I liked Booty Call when I rewound this part (three times!) to make sure I heard that line just right. Not only did it make me laugh, but it also taught me something: that trust is not easily gained and should only be given with great care. The movie is filled with funny yet prophetic one-liners from Jame Foxx, AKA Bunz, during his interactions with his fellow booty caller Tommy Davidson (Rusihon) and their booty callees, Tamala Jones (Nikki) and Vivica A. Fox (Lysterine - great name and it’s not misspelled; Lysterine with a ‘y’ is much classier than Listerine with an ‘i’.) …

Although I feel these quotes can teach us all a thing or two about the trials and tribulations of life, I also feel that only certain persons can read between these mysterious words to get to the true meaning behind them. I humbly consider myself one of these people and would like to interpret some of these words for the benefit of all of Booty Call’s past and future watchers. I submit to you the ‘Word of Bunz’:
‘She need to be hangin’ with this big ‘ole jungle snake’
Translation: Confidence is the key to success.
‘I ain’t gonna be sittin’ at no table with no ham hock eatin’ wildebeest; I got a reputation you know what I’m sayin?’
Translation: You are who you surround yourself with. After all, when you lie with dogs you get fleas.
‘Oh, I see what you’re doing. The girlfriend is Chinese. You thought I’d be upset, but I ain’t trippin’ that. Look…I don’t mind having a little Rice Krispies with my plate. That means she know how to pan fry this noodle; you know what I’m sayin?’
Translation: People of all races, colors and creeds deserve to share the basic human precept of equality.
‘I think that college got you too sensitive…cause you ain’t got no playa left in you. If I was you I wouldn’t let the sun rise over the East river without taggin’ that ass tonight. Cause you know if it was me I’d have that ass bouncin’ like a low rider on a Dr. Dre video.’
Translation: The most important learning comes not from books, but from life. Also, one must pursue what they seek.
These words are meant to enlighten and inspire us on our journey through life and they do so with a poetic elegance unknown in our current times. I strongly recommend this film for all those who seek enlightenment and laughter. I’d also like to end this review the same way I started it: with a quote.
‘I think I got a pickle stuck in my ass.’
Translation: Things are not always as they seem.
