The Ladies Man

Tim Meadows, Tiffani Thiessen, Karyn Parsons, Billy Dee Williams, Lee Evans

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 off into ...( read more  read more... )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

    one of the 2 or 3 funniest movies ever made, but just too crude to justify

    This movie was a lot of fun. I liked Tim Meadows' "Ladies Man" character.

    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.

    This was a funny movie based off of a SNL skit. Stars Tim Meadows as the Ladies Man. I always found this character very funny on SNL. And it turned out to be a decent transition to a movie. Tim Meadows was very funny in this. Plus the movie had a funny supporting cast with Will F...( read more)errell, John Witherspoon, Lee Evans, Karyn Parsons, Tiffani Thiessen and Billy Dee Williams. The humour is crude but funny. It works for this type of movie. Many funny scenes throughout the film. If you enjoy movies like Billy Madison, Black Sheep, Waynes World then you should like this. Worth a watch.
