Laced with such rampant misogyny that the laughs stick in your throat.

In its mingling of horniness and disgust, Tomcats attains a convoluted cleverness.

This is 90 minutes of gags of the lowest order.

Offers only tired jokes, grimace-worthy physical comedy and bad, bad acting.

Yet one more slice of American Pie-style outrageousness for and about guys with raging libidos and pinheads.

Much of Tomcats is actually boisterously, crudely entertaining.

A parade of labored sex gags and bathroom humor.

Desperate is too kind a word. This isn't so much a movie as director Gregory Poirier's failed application to the Farrelly Brothers Country Club. Even those looking for T&A will be disappointed, unless Jerry O'Connell's hairy tuchus floats their boat.

Tomcats is a raunchy, rambunctious, crowd-pleasing film.

So what happens when everyone making a skin flick gets Puritanical about showing skin? A plot, that's what, and 'Tomcats' offers a yarn that's truly yawn-provoking.

Sin gracia, agresiva, misógina, aburrida y completamente prescindible.

Watching teenagers going through some of these situations seems normal; watching men in their late 20s going through them is obnoxiously abnormal.

There isn't a single laugh to be had ...

If you're like most of the human race and it takes more than a gross-out gag to tickle your funny bone, do yourself a favor and steer clear of this monstrosity of a movie.

Writer-director Gregory Poirier is bent on delivering the raunchiest good time he can come up with and pretty much succeeds.
