Summary: Hysterical!!!
Review: ...it was the funniest movie I've ever seen! And the one who makes it funny is Tim Meadows as Leon Phelps-his lisp, afro and his simple speech combine to make him hysterical!!! You have to appreciate the little things Leon does to think he's funny, and not just consider the basic plot. There's more to the movie than what appears at first-every time I watch it I find something else that's funny! But you have to not be dull and have a good sense of humor to really enjoy this film.

Summary: The only movie I've ever walked out on.
Review: ...major waste of film. "The Ladies Man" is one of the most generic comedies ever. A GREAT BIG NOTHING!! 1 STAR never said so much.

Summary: Much better than I expected.
Review: ...which wasn't much, I have to say. More intelligent, wittier, almost no body function humor. It's not a thought-provoking movie, mind you, I'm not saying that, but it follows the Hollywood formula well, with an interesting lead character (fully realized performance from co-writer Tim Meadows), a believable love interest, and the expected happy ending.Bonus: Julianne Moore has a cameo.

Summary: The worst SNL spin-off so far
Review: I really tried to like this movie, but I could never get past about the 20 minute mark (I rented it on three different occasions). Tim Meadows' Leon Phelps is funny in small doses, but does not work in sustaining an entire movie.

Summary: The Worst Film of the Year....so far
Review: A broken clock is right twice a day. I shotgun, a sawed off shotgun, is likely to hit something simply because it shoots so many things in a wide range. With all the jokes and otherwise good actors in this, mess one would think, if simply by accident that something, anything would have been funny once. One would be wrong. This vapid, boring, annoying waste of time drones on for approximately 90 minutes but seems like days. A radio talk show host whose success is a mystery as his show is awful, tries to get another job after losing his, a job he would never have had in the first place. The idiot plot thickens as we hear that the "Ladies man" has slept with thousands of women and there jealous husbands have banded together to kill him. The husbands, for no reason, break into a Broadway dance number which is as baffling as it is confusing, what it is not is funny. His radio show is vile and obscene, so what does he do? The logical thing, he applies a a Christian radio station where... ha ha ha, he gives a nun a hear attack. The dialogue makes one miss the rapier wit of Beavis and Butthead. Among the other treats in this film is the opportunity to see someone eating a turd, a human turd by mistake. It is every bit as amusing as it sounds, it is only slightly less repulsive then watching "The Ladies Man," the year is not over but so far this one gets the prize Worst Film Of the Year.

Summary: Have a nice day :) (Watch the movie to understand!!)
Review: Based on a SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE skit (The show doesn't screen in NZ, so please forgive my ignorance); along with IT'S PAT (ugh) and SUPERSTAR: DARE TO DREAM (marginally more bearable), THE LADIES MAN at first appears to be another seemingly futile attempt to expand a 5 minute skit to feature length. I was surprised to discover that this was actually a pretty funny movie.
Leon Phelps (Tim Meadows) is an alcoholic DJ with a thevere lithp who is stuck in a 70s time warp. He thpecialithes in thex therapy, and dethpite having a stupid afro, he thomehow manages to get the ladieth. How DOETH he do it?
The main gag here is that a lot of the men who phone in to his show with their marital problems are in fact the spouses of women Leon's been sleeping with. So when one of the women's husbands (Lee Evans from THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY) catches him in the act, he and the other neglected hubbys round up a posse with the main objective being to kill Leon.
To make matters worse, Leon is fired by his boss (AMERICAN PIE's Eugene Levy) for his on air excesses. So this leaves Eugene and his pretty producer, Julia Simmons (Karyn Parsons- best known as Hilary on FRESH PRINCE) unemployed and maintaining and losing positions (One of them as DJ on a religious show and he misinterprets a nun talking about missionary work as...well, go figure). In addition to this Leon must avoid the outraged husbands who want to scalp his afro.
As a whole, THE LADIES MAN is a pretty shallow affair, but Meadows is so funny that he helps redeem it. Familiar faces in cameo roles include Billy Dee Williams as Lester; a bartender who serves FEAR FACTOR style bar meals- though he goes a little further than even FF would dare!
And also making an appearance is Julianne Moore, in a role unlike any other she's played. In fact, it's actually quite disturbing. Watching her as Clarice Starling will never be the same after seeing her here. Even Dr. Lecter would be put off his fava beans and Chianti.

Summary: An SNL movie that rises above - it's pimpalicious!
Review: Based on a skit that was never hugely popular, in and out of the theatres in a sneeze, and did I mention it's from SNL Studios? Despite having three solid strikes seemingly against it, Ladies' Man may well be SNL's sleeper success, a genuinely funny film that actually stands up under multiple re-viewings. Meadows never breaks character as the lisping 70s lover man, who manages to leave men envious, and women asking "how does he get girls with those awful lines," particularly when Meadows' so-bad-he's-good character is placed in contrast to Billy Dee Williams, essentially playing himself, cool and oh so fly. The plot is short and sweet, held together fairly well, although the ending is, admittedly, Hollywood manufactured claptrap that irritates but doesn't ruin the film. The supporting cast is superb, which gives Meadows a few moments to take a breather, and also doesn't leave one character to carry the entire film. Not a good first date movie, but a good third date movie.

Summary: The best, funniest and smartest SNL movie ever made!
Review: Based on the famous Saturday Night Live character Leon Phelps, come the new movie "The Ladies Man". This was a hysterical SNL movie. It was slightly dumb, but not like "A Night At The Roxbury". If you get a chance to see it, you will have a great time. If you don't see it in theaters, buy or rent it when it comes on VHS or DVD because it is a must-see. Trust me.

Summary: Get a job
Review: Great film. However I liked it better when it was called DEUCE BIGALOW: MALE GIGALO. Ofcourse I like Deuce Bigalo alot better when it was called LOVERBOY. It's no wonder this guy has been on SNL for so long.
