Like gemstones this movie features a range of unique characteristics. Not every gem is a diamond, and not everyone likes ( only ) diamonds. If you do not understand why irreverent coarse humor brought to a hyperbolically silly situation can entertain you- this gem may not be for you. Not everyone's cup of tea but I certainly enjoyed it, every time. Has some great social commentary embedded into it, if you really think about it. I also doubt I'll ever see a movie reminiscent of it.Like it or not though- you'll have to admit it's quite unique.
... View MoreI give this 8 stars because it's like a modern day Marx Brothers' movie or Myra Breckenridge. Everyone's in it, there are silly musical numbers, the story's negligible, but it's just pure enjoyment and a snap shot in history. I heartily recommend it for mindless watching which is a whole genre of movies. Caveat, the cinematography during the big musical number is lacking. But it's just laugh out loud funny!!! I won't say more because it's terrible to spoil jokes. Still, there's a lot of Chicago-isms as well as pub-related humor. If you like to go to bars and have ever had casual sex with a stranger, you will find this hilarious. Plus! It has Billy Dee Williams in it, and if you ask me, any movie with him in it is a 10 star film.
... View MoreThe Ladies Man is laugh out loud funny, with a great diverse cast as well as having some very stupid but excellent scenes (including the funniest love song ever written).Ferrell is his usual quality self in a brilliant side role.Tim Meadows plays an idiot surprisingly well and has written himself some of the funniest lines you'll find in any comedy out there.It is definitely worth a purchase as watching it every 6 months or so will lead to you still laughing as hard as you did first time round.I am distraught to think at the time of writing this that it has a meagre 4.7 /10 and i urge you to vote! And remember kids- "Theres more motion in the ocean"
... View MoreI thought this movie was LOL funny. It's a fun, not to be taken seriously, movie about one man's twisted views on life, love, and... well, ladies "from the lowly bus station skank, to the high-class débutante... bus station skank." Tim meadows plays a guy (Leon Phelps) who was raised by in a Playboy-style mansion by a Hugh Hefner-esquire father figure, surrounded constantly by beautiful porn models and actresses. When his "father" kicks him out on the street he must learn to fend for himself with nothing but the chauvinistic outlook on life that his youth has taught him... that and an unfathomable, nearly mystical level of charm and dumb luck. And so the hijinx begin! If you haven't seen this movie and you enjoy a light-hearted, semi-mindless, comedy/love story, then I highly recommend renting "the Ladies' Man".
