tiskec This was a great time. If this isn't a movie for bachelors, then I don't know what would be. If I could get laid as many times as these fellows, and so easily, then everything would be honky-dory. Unfortunately.... I liked it when the bachelors had made the bet, leaving the last of them to get married with a huge sum of money. Everyone thought it would be so easy, but no. It didn't quite work out to their expectations. One of the dudes really needed the money to. So, it was kind of fortunate for one guy, because he fell into a crappy situation with a casino. Everything he owned was getting reposed. So you guessed it, he tries extra hard to get the pot.Well, everyone can probably guess what happens during his extra effort to get this pot. Even I did. Yes, he falls in love with Shannon Elizabeth. Pft, Who wouldn't? She is so beautiful. He of course tries to deny his feelings. It doesn't really work out in the long run, but does at the same time. He kind of falls into a catch twenty-two and catches both positive ends. The movie is really funny. I laughed almost all the way through. Some of the situations these dumb-asses get into is just ridiculous. One of them even meets up with a sadomasochistic librarian, who probably changed his life forever. I couldn't stop laughing at that. That part really got my jollies off. The movie has a great story-line and the script was written very well. The acting was good and the dialog was great. I would definitely recommend this movie for a one time watch for laughs.

merklekranz Crude, juvenile, sexist, sure, but the cast is obviously having fun, and it translates to plenty of chuckles, laughs, and one or two absolutely hilarious situations. Jake Busey plays an ego-eccentric Don Juan to perfection. Uncredited appearances by Gary Marshall and Bill Mahr were unexpected surprises. The marriage bet scenario offers plenty of opportunities for ridiculous situations, and plays out to a satisfying conclusion. If you enjoy comedies like "Buying the Cow", "Sorority Boys", or "Strange Wilderness", this is your movie. Another bonus is that this film actually gets better with multiple viewings. Great comedy. - MERK

vchimpanzee Max, at age 19, is the first member of the Tomcats to get married. The guys put money in a fund which will go to the last single member of the group. Seven years later, Steve is married to Trisha in Vegas by a man who can be described as a cross between Elvis and Apu from 'The Simpsons'. Only Mike and Kyle are still single, and the fund has nearly a half million dollars.Mike can't stop gambling until he is over $50,000 in debt to Carlos, who gives him a month to pay up, and each day a 'deposit' will be required. This means Mike's stuff gets 'repossessed'. Only one way out of this mess: Kyle has to get married so Mike will get the money. Kyle has vowed that he and Mike will have sex with every woman on Earth, but if he had to choose one to spend the rest of his life with, it would be Natalie, a bridesmaid at Max's wedding. Of course, Kyle cannot know what Mike is doing, and Mike and Natalie seem to like each other ...At first I didn't think the word 'quality' could possibly apply to this movie. Shannon Elizabeth changed all that. I don't remember much about her performances in the 'American Pie' movies because it has been so long since I saw them, but I think here she may have given the best performance I have seen from her. That includes several appearances as the mother of Kelso's baby on 'That 70s Show'. And she was beautiful both in and out of clothes (actually, we never got to see much other than her legs and shoulders).Jerry O'Connell did a capable job. I'm not sure whether to call Jake Busey's performance good acting. Just because his father is a respected actor, that doesn't mean he is. But Kyle was definitely a class-A jerk. Or perhaps one could use a word Kyle used twice, which got its second half bleeped out for TV.Bill Maher made a nasty but somewhat pleasant Carlos. David Ogden Stiers made the surgery his character was going to perform sound terrifying. Also worth mentioning: Garry Marshall's rant about why men shouldn't get married.And last but not least among the notable acting performances: Heather Stephens as a librarian who lives with her Grammy (who was also a librarian) and has numerous stuffed animals in her bed.My first thought about this movie was that it would compare with the 'American Pie' and 'Porky's' films. It wasn't quite that dirty once it really got into the main plot line. But much of the second half ... well, even edited I would say this film pushed the limits of what broadcast TV will allow. In fact, it may have even gone beyond them. Most of the bad language was taken out, apparently. A few words have only been said on network TV when there was a strong warning, or on the WB's 'Jack and Bobby'. But that's not the worst of it, even if you see this on TV the way I did.Here are some samples of what made this such a hilarious but tasteless film: -A prank involving a competitor for Viagra.-An S & M scene, which was great even if it was crude.-Steve suspects Trisha is a lesbian (this leads to several naughty gags).-After one of the characters had surgery, something happened that made me laugh until there were tears.-Cops who can't stop talking about their personal life on the job make a very unique bust (no, the other kind of bust) . At this point I have to say there is even violence in this movie, and not just the slapstick kind.And one more gag, which was not dirty at all, involved a fur coat at a bachelor party. No, really, the humor with this gag was nearly G-rated, but it was a highlight.Getting off the subject of what was funny, can they show that much of a woman's body on TV? She did have clothes on, but you could hardly call them clothes. And did we REALLY have to see that much of Jake Busey's posterior? That was underwear, I guess ...You have been warned. I enjoy a guilty pleasure like this once in a while. But this is not for kids or the easily offended.

zane olesen Rare and auspicious are the moments in film-making when greatness stands as a defining monument for the rest of the industry to measure themselves against and for us to immerse in that glorious moment.Some stories transcend their time and aspire to the lofty reaches of a classic and the stuff of legends. Throw in the refined skills of an ensemble cast of thespians who are at the very top of their game."Where has all the originality gone?" It is here, as this story and it's cast sashay through a plot and story that will not only educate but also entertain even the most seasoned of Shakespearean/action/love story connoisseurs.I cannot begin to imagine where the writers dreamed up this extraordinary tale. Where do geniuses get this kind of inspiration? I now have hope for mankind, knowing that this kind of talent still exists gives me hope that we will make it to the stars and beyond, perhaps to the very gates of heaven.I have, like others before me, dreamed of greatness. Though I did not write this movie I did see it and because of this movie's noble greatness, I feel as if I have been elevated to a higher level of being, a higher level of spiritual wholeness.It is no wonder this kind of glory eludes most of us. What would become of our world if we all could attain this level of magnificence? We would probably be consumed in a white fire of super-nova glory as we evolve into trans-dimensional spiritual beings capable of omnipotent creative power.The most important thing to know, with all your heart and the very essence of your being, is that "Tomcats" is nothing like what I have been talking about. "Tomcats" is the antithesis of all I mentioned. It could very well destroy our world. For as some reviewers rate a movie on a star system, i.e. 1 through 5 stars, or even zero stars, I'm going to rate "Tomcats" a black hole.I am willing to donate money to a cause that will put a stop to these kinds of atrocities that, as of late, seem to be running amuck at box offices. I'm not even adverse to the use of nuclear weapons. It must stop. How much more of this can we take before aliens from outer space come down here and blow up our planet because we have so many stupid, crass, vulgar, unimaginative, and degrading movies spewing out of Hollywood? I'm not even going to dignify this movie by mentioning anyone's name that starred or produced it. I'm not even going to waste my time describing the story, since we've seen it a ba-zillion times, and all of the past versions were at least a ga-zillion times better.By the way my head nearly imploded during this movie, but with supreme selfless effort and lots-o-luck I survived to warn the public. You have been warned.
