Movie Recommendation Monday: The Boys & Girls' Guide to Getting Down

Part of growing up is experiencing the party scene. For at least one stage of our lives, we tend to go out with our friends every weekend to the hottest club or house party and get completely drunk/high. Well, most of us, anyway. For the rest of us, there's The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down - a comedic mockumentary that takes the viewer step-by-step through the party/clubbing scene.

Despite being a mockumentary, the information to be gleaned is quite valid if not over-the-top. From properly tipping your bartender to scoring drugs, and from faux-mo-sexuals to the legendary (but oh-so-real) "Pussy Power," The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down is an absolutely amusing and informative narrative on how to navigate your local party/club scene.


Possibly the one thing that may deter some potential viewers is the lack of big names or the lack of a large studio budget behind it. This, however, is actually where it shines. Whether it's the spoiled hot chick, the clueless average joes, or the ****blocking best friend, the characters are very easily recognizable. If you want to learn how to correctly infiltrate the party scene, this is for you. If you want a good laugh, this is for you. If those days are behind you & you want to reminisce, this is for you.

Well I think I have nothing in common with this movie, since I'm not a club girl or party animal but I'd watch it at least once!

I have absolutely nothing in common w/ that movie, either. But it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.
