Theatrical Release:Oct 13, 2000 Wide

Box Office: $13,384,928

Synopsis: After years of playing supporting roles, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE veteran Tim Meadows finally makes the leap to the big screen with this outrageous comedy, based on a popular sketch from the television... After years of playing supporting roles, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE veteran Tim Meadows finally makes the leap to the big screen with this outrageous comedy, based on a popular sketch from the television show. Meadows is the hysterically exaggerated Leon Phelps, a smooth-talking, lisping, sex-loving skirt chaser, whose every line is even more crass and politically incorrect than the one before it. Just when everything seems to be sailing along smoothly, Phelps is fired from his job as a radio talk show host for making inappropriate comments on the air. As he searches for a new job with his too-good-to-be-true producing partner Julie (Karyn Parsons), he receives a letter from a woman claiming he is her true love. The only problem is that he can't figure out which of his many conquests she happens to be. By the time an angry mob of jealous husbands--led by the Greco-Roman wrestling Lance DeLune (Will Ferrell)--catches up with him, he has decided once and for all who he really wants. Meadows's obvious affection for his character shines through in THE LADIES MAN, providing the film with a surprising amount of sweetness. In addition to many SNL regulars, Julianne Moore appears briefly as a horny clown with an insatiable appetite for The Ladies Man. [More]

Meadows takes the cheerfully lewd Leon Phelps to the big screen without the help of viagra in The Ladies Man.

For what it is, a 90-minute spinoff of a Saturday Night Live sketch, Reginald Hudlin's film The Ladies Man is not bad.

As the plot points arrive, they're all stretched to the max. Even the film's most unexpected bit ... goes on and on and on.

Somewhat more ingratiating than most of these inflated skits have managed to be. That doesn't quite make it a feature film.

You Should Pay Nine Bucks to See This If: For some bizarre reason you can't wait until this pops up on cable at a friend's house where you can get drunk and watch it for free.

Has neither the laughs of Roxbury nor the heart of Superstar, exposing itself as merely a very shallow and forgettable comedy.

While Meadows is likable and often makes his lines a little funnier than they should be, the film is still chock-full of dreadfully, painfully, grossly unfunny moments.

Pointless, sporadically funny exercise.
