Plot: Yet another recurring character from Saturday Night Live makes the jump to the big screen in this comedy. Leon Phelps (Tim Meadows) is the host of a radio call-in show in which he dispenses advice on the fine art of seduction, for which he seems to have quite a talent -- rather surprising, seeing that he's usually broke, nearly everything he says sounds crass and obvious, and he possesses a fashion sense that would have been gauche in the mid-1970s but seems just plain freakish today. After finally going too far during a broadcast, Leon is fired, but he receives a note from one of his former flames who wants him to come back to her -- and is willing to support him in high style. This sounds just fine with Leon, except she hasn't signed her name, and now Leon has to backtrack through his numerous conquests of the past and figure out who wants him to work his love magic. Meanwhile, a group of husbands who've been cuckolded by Leon, led by Barney (Lee Evans) and Lance (Will Ferrell), are hot on his trail, eager to get revenge. The Ladies' Man also stars Tiffani Thiessen and Karyn Parsons as two of the ladies in Leon's life and Billy Dee Williams as the ultra-smooth proprietor of Lester's Straight-Up Lounge. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I had seen this once before and liked the silly humor but seeing it again I wondered how I missed all the crude and rude all over the story and jokes. Yes, I should have realized that is what this film is all about but I hold hope that there are films that are funny without offensive jokes and gags.

This is a pretty good flick. Leon, the protagonist, is on the search for his secret wealthy dream girl who wants to take care of him for the rest of his life. On the way he must avoid the mob of husbands after him for sleeping with there wifes. Action as fast as the jokes, this is great buy.

Confused?
Added 1/30/2007

I've owned this film for a while, came across the reviews on Amazon, and thought I'd add my two cents. Many of you are probably confused by the WIDE range of star ratings. Most of us would probably agree that "SNL" films have less-than-stellar scripts, so a lot depends on the star and character. Some think that Will Ferrell is hilarious; others find him truly annoying. I think he's both. Molly Shannon does nothing for me, Adam Sandler is hit-and-miss, and Chris Farley reduces me to happy-tears every time, (though he did take part in some wretched movies.)

This one makes me laugh. A lot. It really shouldn't, because on paper it probably looks like a steaming heap of excrement, but if you like (no, make that LOVE... the film IS 90 minutes,) Tim Meadows and his Ladies Man character, then you could do worse than shell out ten bucks on it. Just make sure you watch it with friends who love the character too-- it really adds to the fun. You'll be talking with a lisp for weeks.

another bad SNL movie
Added 9/25/2006

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.
