The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down

Sometimes stuff is funny, simply because it is so true, and that is exactly the case with this film. I had passed the movie "The Boy's and Girl's Guide to Getting Down (2006)" several times when I saw it showing on cable over the last year or so, but recently I've been watching a lot of Current TV. One of the guys who hosts some of their shows, Dominique Purdy, is hilarious, so I looked him up. Well, there is very little information about him, other than the fact that he was in this movie, so I decided to watch it. Turns out it was one of the funniest, most unique movies I've seen in a long time. The cast is pretty much a lot of unknown people, but I thought that made it more realistic.

"Tongue-in-cheek look at 20-something singles clubbing and partying in L.A.; it's organized into 15 chapters from overview and preparation to partying and the morning after. Voice-over narration, charts and graphs, and visits to a research laboratory punctuate the story of a single night when groups of friends go out, drink alcohol, take drugs, dance and talk, and look for someone to go home with. Dangers, minor and major, await those who don't plan well or behave foolishly, and the rewards, even for those who plan well, are few. But the species' survival may depend on these rituals."
