Okay, so it was shot on a shoe-string budget. That's not the point. Movie does elevate itself above its humble origin by showing a considerable lot of spark, even if firing in the wrong direction lots of timed. Biggest saving grace is Jenny Mollen, whom I recognized from ANGEL only because I took note of her name. Wonderful how a truly charming girl can brighten up the scene. The three miscreants have their own charm though, and as for constructive criticism, I'd simply say the producers were on the right track, as the film has a correct feel about it, especially with the hand-held camera footage, and that the girls were samplings from all walks of life.A glaringly obvious Goof: If Reseda Camarillo reported the set-up after getting dumped, how come Nikita comes walking in immediately in the same scene as Reseda's getting dumped? Sherman still wears the lipstick smeared on him from the encounter as he switches targets. Filming clearly just took an efficient shortcut.People renting this one know very well what they are renting. Don't complain if the content is kinda amateurish- looking. It's kinda how it is supposed to look. It is a fake casting agency with minimal equipment. So don't take your ire out on the poor defenseless movie. It is actually quite well done. The laugh is on the kind of reviewers who would say 1 - 10. They're in a bad place.This review was written by Mister Teets. Please, Jenny, take me home!

The best in this movie is the intro music theme....The plot is somewhat OK but the execution is bad....The acting is bad.... I liked only the one that played the nerd strange guy from the leading roles but still he could improved his performance....The dialogs and black humor is far from top.... The movie does have 1-2 funny momentsThe movie does have a lot of pretty ladies!!!! probably on purpose....I wouldn't suggest renting this movie...The best in this movie is the intro music theme....

It has been my experience that 9 out of 10 National Lampoon movies are unwatchable, and while "National Lampoon Cattle Call" is far from the worst, it is still bad. Aside from the classic "Vacation", "Animal House", and "Van Wilder", and the marginal "Deadly Sins" and "Gold Diggers", everything else has been simply awful, including "Cattle Call". This is essentially a one joke movie, and the joke is both unoriginal, redundant, and boring. Most of the crude efforts for a laugh totally misfire, and the overly simplistic script simply has nowhere to go. The entire film seems tired from beginning to end. Throw in the towel early, because essentially you will not miss anything you haven't seen before. - MERK

I gave this movie one bonus point for a total rating of 5 out of 10, for the insight it offered about the inner workings of Hollywood, which had puzzled me after seeing KNOWING the previous day. It turns out that all you have to do to make a flick is cobble together some ideas from other people's scripts (the English caption function built into most DVD's can carry even the most illiterate crew member through the dialog portion of this step), and then tell anyone who shows up for the casting call (or "cattle call," here) just to do what they feel comfortable with (it obviously worked for director Alex Proyas and star Nicolas Cage in KNOWING, to the tune of this week's number one box office hit). So thanks, National Lampoon, now all is illuminated.
