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. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for The Ladies Man

  • Aug 06, 2012
    It wasn't the worst thing I've seen, but as a spin-off from a maybe 4 or 5 minute SNL sketch, I thought it was okay. Something to play in the background...

    The Ladies is not an excellent comedy by any means, but it definitely isn't the worst. I think the film is a bit underrated, and though I agree it's not an excellent comedy, it still is a fun, entertaining mindless film that has a few good laughs throughout the film. This is not a perfect film, but it has its moments. If you're looking for mindless comic relief, then The Ladies Man is that film. The jokes are comical, nothing ever too hilarious, but it will manage to get a few chuckles out of you. The cast is decent, nothing ever good. I thought some parts of the film were weak, but for the most part the film was a lot of fun to watch. This is one of those comedies that you have to shut your mind off in order to enjoy. Sure the film is crude and all, but there's just something about the film that makes it a fun viewing experience. I've seen worst comedies than this, and The Ladies Man isn't one of them. This a funny film that is quite underrated, though some jokes were stale; for the part I laughed and I enjoyed myself watching it. The people that stand out in the film is of course Tim Meadows as the Ladies Man/Leon Phelps, and he brings a funny, quirky style to the role. Another who stands out is Will Ferrell, he really is funny here, and he is perfect for the character he plays. The Ladies Man is mindless fun, if you're looking for a good little film, then this is a worthy viewing. Fun and dumb, the perfect film to watch with friends.

    I watched it and enjoyed most fo it, but the parts I didn't like where stupid, annoying, and downright dumb. I think that is why I really disliked the film, but nor for what it was, but for what it could of been.
