Goes without saying I can't wait for Hello I Must Be Going.
I attended an advance screening of For a Good Time, Call.. and I really liked it. It's pretty hilarious in some scenes, and there's actually some heart to it (two girls having a best "girl" friend for the first time) rather than the raunchiness that the title/subject would imply.
