Ladies Man

Pros: Silly, but funny in a dirty way, some unexpected cameos
Cons: Kind of lame all around

The Ladies Man stars SNL veteran Tim Meadows in his first leading role. He is playing the part of one of his recurring characters - a man who gives really cheesy love advice to people. He drinks cognac and has a massive afro, and dresses like he just...

Pros: Tons of laugh out loud moments, good lines, funny characters
Cons: Very low-brow at many times if that's not your cake

Not many Saturday Night Live movies based on skits do well on the big screen—at least not the ones made by the 1998-current generation. Chris Kattan didn’t translate well to film while Will Ferrell invaded every theatrehouse in America with his ...

Pros: Outrageously tacky, humorously raunchy, manages to be fairly tame while incredibly raunchy at the same time, decent performance by Tim Meadows and cool cameo by Billy Dee Williams
Cons: Tacky, chauvinistic, insulting, raunchy, Will Farrell (enough said)

Sex, Sex, and more Sex. This is the basic idea of the new Saturday Night Live movie spin-off The Ladies Man. If you are the type that is not into jokes about sex, it isn't for you.

After seeing the skit on SNL I wasn't sure whether I would...

Pros: Since it's been released we won't have to watch the trailers anymore
Cons: Negative stereotypes about black men, homosexuals and women

Even free passes couldn't help this movie. My first thoughts about this movie were "Anything to make a buck," and "Here we go again." My friend said, "It seems like perfect timing that this movie would be released at the same...

Pros: The first fifteen minutes are mildly amusing
Cons: The laziness of the writers and producers

The Plot
Leon Phelps (Tim Meadows) is “The Ladies Man”. He’s a radio personality that daily gives out advice on the ways of love and sex. How successful is he? Think of Hugh Hefner without the class if he had to live on a macaroni and...

Pros: Fairly astute, treads every conceivable area of the low-brow comedy genre
Cons: The obvious ones -- poor acting, a one-joke SNL sketch inflated to 14 times its intended length

It’s an unavoidable fact of life – as long as there is Hollywood and softball satire, not to mention the talk-show self-promotion circuit, there will be “Saturday Night Live,” and as long as there is “Saturday Night Live,” there will be movies based on...

Pros: A select few scattered funny moments here and there.
Cons: Gross, mostly unfunny, uncreative, predictable, cheesy, poor performances, terrible screenplay, no direction.

"It wasn't as bad as it could've been" might be a cliché, but that's probably the best way to describe “The Ladies Man,” yet another Saturday Night Live-sketch-turned-movie. Like most of the other films it has a funny premise, but watching it you get the ...

Pros: it's the Ladies Man.. yeah.. master of the wang domain
Cons: Yeah, this movie is the lowliest skank at the cheapest bus station ever..

Why? Why oh why did Tim Meadows, career SNL peon, decide to follow all the other miserable cast members and turn a 5 minute sketch into an hour and a half of headache-inducing mundane drivel. And that’s just the good points.

We all know...

Pros: Some Parts were funny
Cons: The ending left me felt cheated. Not that funny

Now you would think that such bombs like A Night At The Roxberry, Superstar and other movies directed by Lorne Michael’s would have been stopped by now, but The Ladies Man was just released in theaters today. I am a huge fan...

Pros: It's Not As Bad as It's Pat
Cons: It's Only Marginally Better

Whether Lorne Michaels meant this new film as a thank you or an “F” You to Tim Meadows for 11 years of service of SNL remains a mystery. The bigger mystery is how anyone at any level, from pre-production to the impending theatrical release can find...

Pros: Some funny/gross-out moments
Cons: Simple-minded film featuring trashy sex jokes

GRADE: D

Leon Phelps (Tim Meadows) wants to talk about sex-- and that’s about ALL he wants to talk about. With his fallic-esque afro, groovin’ 70s-style fashion sense and a "wang" powerful enough to seduce any heterosexual female,...

Pros: There's a halfway decent supporting cast here, and some good laughs.
Cons: Tim Meadows does NOT have the talent to do anything over a ten minute sketch. Bad acting, soundtrack, storyline, everything.

I knew I was in for trouble.

It's yet another movie from the Saturday Night Live studios, who haven't exactly been churning out quality movies lately. Or quality shows, for that matter.

Tim Meadows is Leon Phelps, a late-night,...

Pros: Stupid-funny
Cons: Stupid-funny

Movies based on "Saturday Night Live" sketches — like the sketches themselves — have always been an uneven proposition at best. Some, like both Wayne’s World movies and the first Blues Brothers movie, are terrific on their own, even if you...

Pros: two or three laughs
Cons: the other 83 minutes of the movie

Some of the movies that have been wrung out of the SNL washcloth have been (I must confess) pretty good: be they ninety-minute character summaries (Superstar - Molly Shannon), collections of jokes and puns charming enough in their silliness to actually...

Pros: Interesting first scene of Meadows setting up the DJ booth
Cons: weak plot and characters, unintelligent, unfunny humor etc etc.

"So, what did you think?", my girl friend asked after we were finished watching this movie. She was met by complete silence, as I was still in shock. I didn't know wether I was stunned at the retarded ness of the movie or just couldn't find a...
