Not even worth a free view on cable, this is the dumbest most infantile thing ever, was this directed and written by twelve year olds? Slapstick is funny, dumb is funny, but it actually has to be funny to be funny! The premise is the guy needs 50K to pay off the casino, but casinos don't give credit to nobodies. Then he can't figure out where to get the money but he is driving around in a 71' Plymouth Hemi Cuda worth way over 50K. The acting is cardboard, the direction mindless and the story so ridiculously dumb you can't even enjoy this as a time waster or a good silly movie like Dodgeball or Anchorman. God help us all from this drivel, I'd rather slam my head into a wall for an hour and a half.

This movie has some great scenes that are classic comedy in the SNL ilk, granted its one veteran here, Sanz, is not actually in them or playing a major role. From the last scene with the Animal Rights people, to the "balls" scene, to the dominatrix, this was some seriously sophisticated, funny comedy that deserves credit for being just that - you can't take this movie seriously though, but comparing it to the range of cheesy Hollywood action movies which put me to sleep (Armageddon just to name one example), it is a serious winner. Buying the Cow also highlingting Jerry O'Connell with a possee of equally funny goofballs is right up there in laugh value with this one - talk about a great double feature

If you want to see someone accidentally eat another man's testicle, or look at a row of pathetically fake hard-ons at a wedding, or listen to a man talk about how good it felt to have sex with a girl while she was throwing up, then this is the movie for you. Alternating, in neck breaking fashion, between romantic and gross out comedy, Tomcats is certainly interesting. The lovely Jaime Pressly plays the wife of Horatio Sanz(tell me another one) who is found in many silhouetted situations with other women, but there is, surprisingly, no nudity. Jake Busey is thoroughly revolting as a hound dog who you wouldn't want as your friend. Shannon Elizabeth and Jerry O'Connell are both good and make a convincing couple, but the movie is far too busy trying to disgust to be any good.

Tomcats (2001) Jerry O' Connell, Shannon Elizabeth, Jake Busey, Jaime Pressly, Horatio Sanz, Bernie Casey, David Odgen Stiers, D: Gregory Poirier. Dirty and childish excuse for a romantic comedy about six friends who make a bet: the last one to be a bachelor wins a mutual fund of $6,000; when seven years pass, a cartoonist and a sex-aholic are the only two bachelors left while one of them searches in find of longtime bridesmaid Elizabeth from his friend's wedding for the other so he can get the money. Degrades women as bimbos and men alike as sex maniacs in a cast of one-dimensional characters acting out humiliating, gross-out gags concerning lesbians, erections, oral sex, anything, you name it, but its lowest point has to be the cancerous testicle on-the-loose! Running Time: 95 minutes and rated R for strong sexual content including dialogue, and for language. *
