ThiefHott Too much of everything

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

soothymocha This movie is beyond acceptional, it is revolutionary drama, murder mystery, romance, teen drama, and movie for seniors. It has everything to a great movie, acting, cinematography, editing, and of course, writing. This is the movie of the century and the reviews really don't highlight that

Isobelk I give this 8 stars because it's like a modern day Marx Brothers' movie or Myra Breckenridge. Everyone's in it, there are silly musical numbers, the story's negligible, but it's just pure enjoyment and a snap shot in history. I heartily recommend it for mindless watching which is a whole genre of movies. Caveat, the cinematography during the big musical number is lacking. But it's just laugh out loud funny!!! I won't say more because it's terrible to spoil jokes. Still, there's a lot of Chicago-isms as well as pub-related humor. If you like to go to bars and have ever had casual sex with a stranger, you will find this hilarious. Plus! It has Billy Dee Williams in it, and if you ask me, any movie with him in it is a 10 star film.

gavin6942 The Saturday Night Live character Leon "Ladies Man" Phelps (Tim Meadows) gets a big screen treatment.Of all the "Saturday Night Live" adaptations, this is not the best. But, luckily, it is far from the worst. In fact, if you just sit back and enjoy it, you might even laugh a little. This is not clever, witty or intelligent humor... but it can still bring a smile. Tim Meadows is an underrated comedian, as evidenced a bit here and even more in "Mean Girls".We get some good cameos and supporting cast. Billy Dee Williams is excellent, and it is nice to see him in a slick role, ready to serve up some Colt 45. And we have Will Ferrell singing in a most amusing manner... alongside the guy from "There's Something About Mary". Best scene of the movie?

Steve Pulaski The fact that The Ladies Man originated from a skit on Saturday Night Live should surprise no one who has seen and disliked the film. The film feels exactly like a character who belongs in skits roughly five to eight minutes long, who will occasionally say something funny in those five to eight minutes, and then end on a comic-bang before the screenwriter decides to cut over to another sketch. The sad thing about The Ladies Man is it focuses on its title character (played by a clearly inspired Tim Meadows) for eighty long, often tedious minutes, completely deluding the character's comic effect because it must be referenced with almost every line he says.I've discussed how tedious and often frustratingly unfunny Saturday Night Live films can often be (I wrote a whole blog on it three years back, so that should give an idea of how opinionated I was). Their main complaint links most of their films (with notable exceptions of the Wayne's World titles) in that they have difficultly giving their character's antics enough to do for a film's runtime. "The Ladies Man" character already has enough energy to be in a eighty minute film, but does he have the humor, plot, and charisma capabilities of carrying such precious minutes? How far does a sexist, afro-rockin' radio host go? The answer is not very far, but the film is at least buoyed by the competence and appeal of Tim Meadows, who can do no wrong in films as far as I'm concerned. His presence is casual and his attitude often laidback, even when he's playing a character as tiresome as this one. He plays Leon "The Ladies Man" Phelps, a studly black radio host who is known for his outspoken sexism on air during his nighttime show where he gives female callers shallow advice about relationships. The first thirty minutes of the film show his attitude and serve as nothing but a showcase for redundant jokes akin to that of modern Saturday Night Life sketches.When the story finally does get going, it's lame and serves more as filler than as a significant plot. It follows a man who finds his wife cheating on him, only to spot a naked black man running outside his home with a smiley face tattooed on his rear. Turns out, there is a website dedicated to finding this man and a group of angry husbands meet up to try and track down the man who pleasures their wives. The result is a tiresome array of unfunny marital jokes and a predictable but slightly catchy song and dance number.Tim Meadows (who serves as co-write on this film) is clearly inspired when playing "The Ladies Man." His personality is always energetic and here he plays a character he completely created and "perfected" himself. There is a genuine sense of fun and comfortableness when playing this role. The issue is that "The Ladies Man" is so thin and uninteresting as a character that he's more of an idea. In that regard, Meadows does a great job at playing an idea.I return full circle to my point that I made in the beginning that stated that the films focuses on a character that feels exactly like he belongs in concise skits on Television. It's no surprise that after about fifteen minutes of laughing with and at the character, I began to be burdened with feelings of tedium. This only influences my point that a character with this personality belongs in shorts seventy-five minutes shorter than the film The Ladies Man.Starring: Tim Meadows, Karyn Parsons, Billy Dee Williams, John Witherspoon, Will Ferrell, and Eugene Levy. Directed by: Reginald Hudlin.
