The Ladies Man should just be left as a skit on SNL
Tim Meadows (Mean Girls) stars at The Ladies Man, Leon Phelps, a radio love doctor who goes around seducing young fine ladies who have husbands. Meadows gets fired from a couple of radio jobs and soon he gets a letter from a woman who he cant remember her name but remembers the funkidelic sex that they had in the laundromat. So, Meadows goes back to the women he sexed it up with trying to figure out who this woman is. Meanwhile, the husbands of the wives Meadows sexed it up with formed a group so that they can track down Meadows and do harm to him. The group is lead by none other then Will Ferrell (Old School, Anchorman), who liked wrestling around with guys a lot...and I mean a lot. The husbands do a song and dance number that is so annoying, they burn Meadows love boat and try to track him down. In the end, its safe to say that this shouldnt of been made...there are some funny moments and Meadows is really funny and perfect for the role, but this needed to be left as a skit, not a feature length movie...this and Superstar. Also starring Billy Dee Williams (Empire Strikes Back, Batman), John Witherspoon (The Friday Trilogy), Kevin McDonald (Kids in the Hall), Mark McKinney (Kids in the Hall), Karyn Parsons (Major Payne), Jimmy Fallon (Taxi, Fever Pitch), Eugene Levy (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind), Tiffani Amber Thiessen (Beverly Hills 90210, Fast Lane), Lee Evans (Fifth Element, Mouse Hunt, Ken Hudson Campbell (Down Periscope, Armegeddon) and Julianne Moore (The Forgotten, Hannibal).

You Will Feel It In Da Butt
A True Classic. Many people don't like these SNL spin off movies, however, "The Ladies Man" really delievers. If you like "A Night at the Roxburry" then you will like this movie as well. Tim Meadows plays one of the most memoriable characters to ever come out of the storied show. All "Hillary" from "Fresh Prince" plays Meadow's love intrest in the movie as does Tiffani Amber Thieson (or however you spell her name). So with those 2 90s TV icons this movie is a no brainer. Buy it right now.

One of the worst films I have EVER seen!
This movie is absolutely horrible. I haven't seen a movie this bad since... Shark Boy and Lava Girl (my kid made me go see that one). It's very poorly written with hardly a story line at all. Even the revenge factor of the men tracking down Leon turns into a highly rediculous broadway scene. The ending was very rushed with the typical scene of everyone in the movie meeting at the same place and forgiving each other making for a very trite typical ending. I loved Tim Meadows with SNL, but this movie is just bad.

Get a job
Great film. However I liked it better when it was called DEUCE BIGALOW: MALE GIGALO. Ofcourse I like Deuce Bigalo alot better when it was called LOVERBOY. It's no wonder this guy has been on SNL for so long.

"The Ladies LOVE Leon Phelps!"
The under-appreciated, extremely talented Tim Meadows finally got his moment in the big screen spotlight with 2000's "The Ladies Man." The film may not have been a commercial hit, but in terms of delivering good-hearted, somewhat risque laughs, it's a huge success. Naturally, Tim plays Leon Phelps, his popular Saturday Night Live character aptly dubbed, "The Ladies' Man." Perhaps to avoid repetition from earlier SNL theatrical outings, in the movie Leon is made the host of a radio call-in show, rather than a television show as in the well-known Saturday Night Live skits. Nothing else has changed, however, as Leon is still the same light-hearted, lisping, clueless swinger, with the right answers to all your romantic queries. Unfortunately, Leon's answers are often flat out wrong, not to mention highly offensive. And when his keen interest in "da butt" gets him in trouble one time too many, he and his producer, Julie Simmons (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Karyn Parsons), find themselves on the search for a new radio station to work for. Leon is sidetracked from the seemingly hopeless job-hunt, however, when a letter from a mystery woman promises to solve his money problems forever. If only he knew which of his many past "Sweet Things" the letter was from! And this isn't the sum of our leading man's problems. Leon is also being hunted down by an armed organization of vengeful husbands, the "Victims of the Smiling Ass." It seems that Leon has a habit of including unsatisfied, married women amongst his many conquests, and the smiley face tattoo on his derriere is the only clue the V.S.A. has to his identity, but that will change before the story is over. Leon will find himself having to confront the vicious mob, his unwillingness to take on responsibility, and his feelings for his disenchanted producer, Julie, all at the same time!
In the end, everything works out well for Leon, if rather inexplicably. But that's not the important thing. As with so many other films centered around outrageous characters like Leon Phelps, the main focus is the humor of the quirky personality in the starring role, not the plot. Leon's hilarious appearance, speech impediment, and outlook on life are the reasons to watch "The Ladies Man," and they're so entertaining that they are reason enough! The supporting cast is nothing to gloss over, though. As with any SNL movie, the film is studded with cameos and spot-on casting choices for the purpose of getting the most "ha" out of your "ha-has." The legendary Billy Dee (Lando) Williams is outstanding as the smooth talking bartender/narrator who recounts a back-story for Leon that fits the character to the bill. John Witherspoon never fails to crack me up, as he does here in the very funny role of "Scrap Iron." Lee Evans of "Mouse Hunt" is a personal fave too, and a couple of "Kids In the Hall" alumni also make the scene! Of course, Will Ferrell is a comedic genius, even in the old comedy standby of a closet homosexual hiding behind machismo. Sure, it's a cliche, but Ferrell seems to know it, and makes it funny for that very reason! As funny and charismatic as they all are, though, this movie belongs entirely to Tim Meadows. This is HIS baby, and it's well worth picking up for repeat enjoyment. The DVD is practically bare bones, but it does include some cast and crew interviews, a theatrical trailer, and is presented in widescreen format, and those are the important things. Highly recommended for a night of laughs, time and time again!
