Several years later, the pot has boiled down to two: Michael, who is battling gambling debts in Las Vegas, and diehard bachelor Kyle Bremmer (Jake Busey), who is a self-proclaimed ladies' man. Michael tries to get Kyle to wed within 30 days in order to rescue himself from financial turmoil. When Natalie (Shannon Elizabeth) enters the picture as Kyle's new intended bride (as set up by Michael), she and Michael end up falling for one another, setting up a competition for her affections by the two men. Tomcats is the feature directorial debut for screenwriter Gregory Poirier. ~ Jason Clark, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Laced with such rampant misogyny that the laughs stick in your throat.
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
In its mingling of horniness and disgust, Tomcats attains a convoluted cleverness.
-
Mike Clark, USA Today
This is 90 minutes of gags of the lowest order.
-
Pam Sitt, Seattle Times
It brings the gross-out comedy genre to a new low.
-
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
Offers only tired jokes, grimace-worthy physical comedy and bad, bad acting.
