DVD Movie Rating for: The Ladies Man

3out of 5

Movie Plot of: The Ladies Man

Because of his salacious language, late-night radio advice-show host Leon Phelps, along with his sweet and loyal producer Julie, is fired from his Chicago gig. They can't find another job. About that time, two things happen: he gets a letter from a wealthy former lover who offers to take care of him (but she doesn't sign her real name, so Leon, an inveterate Casanova, has no idea who she is), and a group of angry cuckolds, all of whom have surprised their wives in flagrante delicto with Leon (who has a distinctive tattoo on his booty), are closing in, armed and dangerous. Can he find the sugar mommy and escape the wrath of the mob of husbands? What about Julie?

Reviews of the movie: The Ladies Man

Over the years, Tim Meadows has proven himself to be a very funny supporting player on Saturday Night Live, but he never really had a breakout character that he and Lorne Micheals could spin off into a movie--until now. Based on his lisping "Ladies Man" character, Meadows plays Leon Phelps, a late-night sex advice host of a radio show who gets fired for racking up one too many FCC fines. His producer (Karyn Parsons) gets fired with him, and she combs the Chicago stations looking for another gig while he tries to find the one old flame who would be willing to support him for the rest of his life. You see, Phelps is a sexaholic who tends to sleep with frustrated wives, much to the chagrin of the husbands who inevitably catch them in bed together. A mob of husbands have formed a group, under the leadership of Will Ferrell (playing a tired stereotype of the closeted homosexual), dedicated to hunting down Phelps and killing him. The embodiment of the '70s swinger, Phelps personifies both the good (sexual skills) and the bad (the wardrobe and fashion sense) of that icon, though the movie ends with your standard pro-family propaganda when he inevitably finds love and stability with his producer. The laughs do not come fast and furiously, sidetracked as they are by the so-called plot, but one thing must be said and said out loud: Billy Dee Williams is fantastic as the bartender-narrato

A Hilarious, Humorous, Funny, and Just Plain Brillaint Film!!!
"The Ladies Man" is one of my favorite comedy films ever. Tim Meadows is hilarious and great as Leon as known as "The Ladies Man" radio talkshow host. The story is mainly about a man named Leon who is a radio talkshow host who recieves a letter from a rich woman who wants to see him, so he goes to find her while a group of men are chasing him because of him stealing their girlfriends & wives from them. This is slapstick comedy, and a sure hit!!! I have know idea why the critics gave it this rating: *+. I think this film deserved at least two or three stars, but that tells you what the critics say. When ever a good or funny movie comes along, they give it a bad rating. Then, when a stupid film comes along such as "American Beauty" , it ends up winning four academy awards!!! Well, anyways, I don't care what the critics say. I just see a movie if I THINK that I'll like it. And I have to say that "The Ladies Man" was a movie that I wanted to see. And I saw it, and it is completely great!!! With it's disgusting and funny humor, this is a great comedy that is underrated. This is a great and funny film!! I HIGHLY recommend this film!!! I give it a 10 out of 10!!!!!!! :)
