Rating: Summary: Another unneccessary SNL production..... Review: While i certainly don't think this was an entirely terrible film, I do think that SNL movies should just stop being made!!! I can't imagine what could possibly come out next! As a five minute skit, Ladies Man, was always very funny and one of the better parts of the show. Tim Meadows has had quite a long run on the series, and he is a very gifted commedian and actor. To date the best SNL skit turned movie have been the Wayne's World movies. Ladies Man did have it's share of dumb laughs, but it's hardly one of the best comedies of the year. It's just a very dragged out skit of what you see on the show. Like I said, it had enough laughs to keep it somewhat interesting, but I wouldn't buy this movie. I'd wait for this one cable(my husband rented this one, so i can't take full responsiblity for it!)
Rating: Summary: A brush with the afro of greatness. Review: Why this movie is one of those bad movies you hesitate to call bad because it's really awesome:
1. Meat Burglars
2. Tim Meadows as Leon Phelps
3. Courvoisier
4. Fecophagia
5. Bobby Womack and Isley Brother's tunes
6. Will Ferrell
7. The guy who played the dad from Friday as virtually the same character but named Scrap Iron.
8. Houseboats
9. Billy Dee Williams
10. Waterbeds
Yeah it's that good.
Rating: Summary: The Best Part Comes from Supports (and One Surprise Cameo) Review: Yet another SNL-based film stars Tim Meadows as radio show host Phelps aka The Ladies Man who gets lucky whenever he wants. I don't know how, but many women find him attractive, so as a consequencee many guys (mostly hapless husbands) hate him, and are trying to kill him, and one of them is Lee Evans ("Mouse Hunt""There's Something about Mary"). But one day he is fired by his boss at the radio station (Eugene Levy, "American Pie), and has to find another job while trying to find the real love, and so on and on.Like many other SNL films, the film is nothing but a jumbled collections of episodes, many of which are not interesting. Maybe the main character works in short sketch, but not on film, which requires at least 90 munites. But you know these things from the beginning. The most unaccountable thing is that many women find him sexy while Tim Meadows has no charisma of Shaft. Comedy? I know, but 90 minutes are to long to see him repeating the same lisping speech. Men like Will Smith can do better than that. The best part always comes supporting roles. Billy Dee Williams is good, so is Evans and Levy, but they are given too short time. And the greatest mystery of the film is one cameo appearance of Julianne Moore as a clown, who definitely should have known better.

Rating: Summary: This is just not a funny film. Review: You can't tell what's worse. Trying to make movies out of television shows that are not funny, or all the vulger humor that is used in them. In this case it's both and it's just not funny.
