Sexy Time
14 October 2014 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Two women are brought together because of financial hardship to live as roommates in New York City. Despite there utter dislike of each other the bond merged after their financial needs. Lavern Miller (Lauren Powell) and Katie Steele (Ari Grayner) turn the tables from being college frenemies to BFFs.

A quirky comedy about the dynamics of using sex appeal to discover the vast pot of undiscovered gold. The rated "PG" version of what could have been a salacious filled film. For A Good Time Call makes you laugh and cheer on the entrepreneurial spirit of these innovative women. I had fund watching it and listening to the silly antics thought up to squeeze one more minute of sex talk.
