From the opening animated title sequence to the vulgarities at the film's climax, Gregory Poirer's directing debut is an obnoxiously funny comedy with a sharp romantic edge flowering beneath its T&A exterior. The plot surrounds a "kitty" (double entendre intended), created by a group of swinging pals determined to stave off marriage at all costs, with the cash headed towards whoever stays single the longest. Seven years later, only two of the friends remain single, and the pot is up to a half million in cash. When one of the two singles, Michael Delaney (Jerry O'Connell), runs afoul of the Las Vegas gambling mafia on account of a big-breasted babe, he needs that kitty cash desperately. Michael attempts to con his competitor, Kyle Brenner (Jake Busey), into marrying the wildly attractive policewoman Natalie (Shannon Elizabeth), who holds a personal vendetta against Kyle. But the best laid plans begin to run afoul when Natalie and Michael fall for each other instead. Filled with totally gross sex gags, pot shots at other films, and slapstick humor, TOMCATS is a humorous take on adult men who have not outgrown their adolescent mentalities about love, sex, and relationships.

Reviews for Tomcats
Laced with such rampant misogyny that the laughs stick in your throat.
In its mingling of horniness and disgust, Tomcats attains a convoluted cleverness.
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.
Raucously energetic and replete with a barrage of graphic sexual humor.
Of course, we expect such films to be tasteless. That's their job. But that doesn't forgive them for being more abusive than bawdy or more sleazy than kinky.
At times, it doesn't seem like movies can achieve any further debasement in the gross-out sweepstakes. And then along comes Tomcats.
The film is enthusiastically vulgar but not particularly funny, perhaps because it too often loses the distinction between gross-out humor and the merely gross.
Tomcats seems obsessed not by offering viewers a good time, but by trying to out-gross its predecessors.
Tomcats is the first film to be produced by Revolution, the new company of former Disney Studios boss Joe Roth. If this is the revolution, start it without me.
