Summary: one joke pony
Review: I am SO glad I rented this an didn't buy it. I wanted this movie to be funny, but the only thing that even remotely made me chuckle was Billy Dee Williams and his role as narrator.

Summary: Silly and crude but pretty darn funny
Review: I came to appreciate this movie a little more after a second viewing. Sure, it's a really, really dumb movie, and Tim Meadows' Saturday Night Live character Leon Phelps, aka The Ladies' Man, is stretched just about as far as he can be without snapping, but there are laughs to be found here, and the film really isn't as raunchy as you might think. Leon Phelps is the perpetual 70s swinger who dispenses all of his wisdom in the ways of love on his own late night radio program. A lot of that wisdom involves some rather unsavory advice, most of it involving "da butt" in some fashion, and Leon soon finds himself out of work alongside his attractive producer Julie (Karyn Parsons, who turns in a pretty impressive performance). Unable to find a new radio job, Leon's troubles only increase when his womanizing ways make him the target of a group of men looking for the guy who seduced all their wives. SNL's Will Farrel turns in a particularly memorable performance as the ring leader of the group and a really, really devoted Greco-Roman wrestler whose wife somehow doesn't understand his need to get oiled up and practice wrestling day and night with his friend Bryan. With so much going on in his life, will Leon find the answer to all his money woes with a "Sweet Thing" from his past (if he can only remember which one of his former ladies she is), or will true love sneak up on him and make him a changed man? The Ladies' Man features some notable names in its cast list: e.g., Tiffani Amber-Thiessen, Julianne Moore (in an inexplicable little cameo), and the ultimate ladies' man himself, Billie Dee Williams. Billie Dee's presence lends a sense of class that is altogether missing without him, although he does play a prominent role in an unforgettable and hilarious practical joke of pretty crude proportions. When it comes right down to it, The Ladies' Man must be judged in terms of its comedic aspects, and I have to say I found the movie quite funny. If you found Tim Meadows' Ladies Man character on Saturday Night Live funny, odds are you will enjoy this movie.

Summary: a mediocre movie
Review: I Enjoy Lots Of The Snl Movies With The Exception Of This And Superstar. Sorry To Say But I Think Every Funny Spot In This Movie Was Flooded With Sexual Humor. While I Love Comedys This Can Never Be Up There With A Night At The Roxbury. I'm Sorry Mr. Meadows But You Really Blew [It]This Time.

Summary: I Like Tim Meadows, However, This Film is NOT FUNNY AT ALL
Review: I find Tim Meadows on SNL usually involved in very funny skits, however, his character is a complete loser and I found myself very annoyed while waiting for something funny to happen. It was so bad I had to start using the fast forward button on the DVD player. Corny, outdated, annoying characters, and just not funny.

Summary: The Ladies Man
Review: i love Tim Meadows and liked the ladies mans short skits
on SNL, but this movie is just bad... The truth is that this
movie has its moments, but for the most part is more
lewd and boring then funny.
If you have never seen this movie then I say "rent
first" before you buy...

Summary: I wanted to like it... I really did!
Review: I love Tim Meadows! And I love Leon Phelps on SNL. And I love Will Farrel too! Unfortunatly this movie just wasn't funny.... I don't think I laughed more than once or twice. I was so disappointed because it should have been hilarious.. The supporting cast was good.... Karyn Parsons (of Fresh Prince), Will Farrel, Tiffani Amber Thiessen and BILLY DEE BILLY DEE! And who doesn't love making fun of outdated 70's guys and cheesy pick up lines? I don't know what went wrong, but it DID go wrong.

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: I rented this movie because I really like SNL and "The Ladies Man" skit. This was a mistake to make the movie. In the movie, Leon Phelps gets a letter from one of the former people he made love to. Now they are rich and they want to be with him. He is also looking for a job, since he was fired for being to vulgar. A couple of really funny seens still can't help this movie very much. I would give this movie 2 stars. Will Ferrell is pretty funny. On the other hand, the DVD is better than the movie. There is a fairly good commentary. Don't buy this movie, maybe rent it. "A Night At The Roxbury" is much better (which I own on DVD).

Summary: super
Review: I thought this movie rocked! My friends and I couldn't stop talking like the Ladies' Man for like a week after we saw it. It was so funny I just can't get over it. Great movie, I highly recommend it for those days when you're in the mood to chill with friends and watch a stupid movie.
