Movie Reviews of The Ladies Man
Movie Review: I wanted to like it... I really did!
Summary: 2 Stars
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 And who doesn't love making fun of outdated 70's guys and cheesy pick up lines?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.Movie Review: another bad SNL movie
Summary: 2 Stars
I liked Night at the Roxbury better than this. Of course that was a great movie though. So this is funny but do we ever get an actual story in any of these Lorne Michael's movies? Funny jokes are good but I just wish it was an actual movie and not a bad SNL skit. Highlights of the movie are the fake but still great looking Tiffany Amber Thiesen and Will Ferrel as the wrestler. Good movie to kill about 30 minutes or so on.Movie Review: a mediocre movie

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.Movie Review: The Best Part Comes from Supports (and One Surprise Cameo)
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Movie Review: Pimpin' Ain't Easy
Summary: 1 Stars
It's got to be really hard to take a character from a shallow, three-minute skit and stretch it into a moive. Leon Phelps, in that exercise, snaps and breaks and leaves the weak plot waving in the breeze."Ladies Man" has its moments, the satrical dance number is one of them. But otherwise they're few and far between. The slappy, low-brow humor that works so well on SNL just doesn't scale to a full-length movie.
