Plot: Over the years, Tim Meadows has proven himself to be a very funny supporting player on Saturday Night Live, but he never really had a breakout character that he and Lorne Micheals could spin of...( read more read more... )f into a movie--until now. Based on his lisping "Ladies Man" character, Meadows plays Leon Phelps, a late-night sex advice host of a radio show who gets fired for racking up one too many FCC fines. His producer (Karyn Parsons) gets fired with him, and she combs the Chicago stations looking for another gig while he tries to find the one old flame who would be willing to support him for the rest of his life. You see, Phelps is a sexaholic who tends to sleep with frustrated wives, much to the chagrin of the husbands who inevitably catch them in bed together. A mob of husbands have formed a group, under the leadership of Will Ferrell (playing a tired stereotype of the closeted homosexual), dedicated to hunting down Phelps and killing him. The embodiment of the '70s swinger, Phelps personifies both the good (sexual skills) and the bad (the wardrobe and fashion sense) of that icon, though the movie ends with your standard pro-family propaganda when he inevitably finds love and stability with his producer. The laughs do not come fast and furiously, sidetracked as they are by the so-called plot, but one thing must be said and said out loud: Billy Dee Williams is fantastic as the bartender-narrator. --Andy Spletzer

    Not really a fan. Sadly the funniest part of this movie is Will Ferrel and his group looking for revenge. Otherwise this movie is pretty forgettable.

    It's funnier than the SNL sketches, yet keeps true to the original. Billy Dee Williams also plays his role perfectly.

    it's the ladie's man...it is hard not to love him...but most SNL skits are best left as SKITS. More than a few minutes can just be too much.

    Not the best film based on a "Saturday Night Live" sketch but it does have a likable performance by co-writer/star Tim Meadows as the title character and there are some pretty funny moments.

    One of those under the radar flicks that really shine. This is great fun from start to finish. Like many Post SNL ventures the plot gets a bit waffly but Meadows gives such a fun performance that it doesn't feel like it matters. Better than 'undercover brother'.

    This movie blows chunks, and Meadows simply can't handle a lead role. His best roles are usually his eccentric and angry cameos as found in SNL, and here his smooth talking robot of a role can barely muster up a single laugh.

    One of those movies where I felt a very strong urge to leave the theater because it was so bad. It takes a lot for me to get up and walk out, and this movie nearly had me running out. So unfunny it was painful to watch. There were people around storming out saying that it fucking sucked. And you know what? They were right, it did!

    Leon Phelps, SNLs Ladies Man makes it to the big screen in this hit and miss comedy starring SNL alumni Tim Meadows. Karen Parsons plays the eye candy, but the story never quite gets off the ground. It was average.

    This movie rules, especially the fact that Will Ferrel, instead of fighting, wrestles in a singlet. Priceless.

    I want to hate this movie because it's slow and not that funny, but I've found myself quoting the main character a time or two.

    There has never been an SNL skit turned into a good movie with the possible exception of Wayne's World. This is not Wayne's World.
