It's always nice to see Tiffani-Amber Thiessen wearing almost nothing. But, sadly, the rest of it isn't worth the money it would take to get into even a bargain matinee.

Consensus: The Ladies Man joins the growing list of mediocre movies based on SNL skits. It just doesn't have enough material to last the length of the movie.
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]

Reviews for The Ladies Man
As for the inevitable romance between the seemingly sensible Julie and the wispy, lisping Leon, it's sort of like watching her fall for the gay best friend from a whole other movie.
Although there is a musical number ... that will make you bust out laughing, the rest of the movie proves to be so poorly constructed that it's almost unbearable.
Saying that The Ladies Man is the best movie spawned from Saturday Night Live in quite some time is sort of like grading the quality of dog doo.
Only ... fans of Meadows' anachronistic Ladies Man caricature are likely to have any interest in this slapped-together, unfunny movie.
Tim Meadows is very funny and entirely endearing, and it's too bad he got himself into this mess.
Arguably the limpest film yet spun out from a Saturday Night Live sketch.
