Phone Booth (R, 2003)

I was only disappointed with the excessive language in this movie. The plot was inventive and the moral choices presented were issues Hollywood tries to gloss over for the most part. Faithfulness to your mate is the real issue in this one and for that I commend the effort.

I've watched it twice in the past three days, and I can't get over how utterly fantastic the acting is. Because of the violence, language, sexuality, etc., this is NOT for kids.

this is a good movie but phone booth isn't for young kids at all because of the violence and the strong language and they also use the f-word as a sexual talk.

Stu Shepherp a publicist is man who thinks he is on top although he doesn't who watching and finding his terrible secrets that he is hiding. He steps into a phone booth not make a call back home, but to call a Pamela McFadden a woman that he is having an affair. The phone rings right after he hangs up he is expecting it to be Pam but it is a madman physco who has stalking Stu for quite some. He tells Stu if he hangs up he will kill him. A angry pimp comes to booth to make Stu get off the phone so that his hookers can you use it. When Stu refuses he brings out a baseball bat breaks the window an almost drags out Stu. The rest of movie is overall good thriller filled with a lot of suspense. There is some violence- when the pimp is shot we see a little bit of blood on his back. Not much sexual content although references to it. There is a lot of dirty language. About 100 F words or more and other bad words such S--t and other words. I saw this movie when I was 13 but parents, before taking your kid to see this I suggest you watch it first, becuase there is a lot of cursing. But in the end it has a good message- honesty is the key to any relationship.

This movie does have a good message. This film is more placed in the suspense genre, rather that the action genre. The audience should listen closely on the dialog in order to understand elements of the movie. Some young children could be capable of handling the "mature" material.

"Phone Booth" is a extremely fine example of Schumacher's creative film-making. This movie has been heavily criticized, but on the same level, heavily misconceived. The film focuses on Colin Farell plays Stu Shepard, a false big-shot publicist who is also cheating on his wife. One day, Stu recieves a phone call from a sniper who forces him to admit his wrongdoings, and if Stu doesn't cooperate, the sniper will shoot him. This movie is based on loose morals, about how it's hard to come clean with honesty when you know you've done something wrong, regardless of how selfish your character may be. The sniper's main goal is to help Stu get through his sins by threatening him with death, as he knows Stu's selfish attitude would not cooraperate with much less severe circumstances. The only thing to watch out with in this movie is the language, as almost every cuss word is used throughout the entire length of the film. This is mostly applied by Farrell's character, but remember, his character is a selfish, city man, so I believe the language isn't really such a big deal due to the fact that it allows Farrell to portray his character properly.
