In the comedy, The Ladies Man, Tim Meadows plays Leon Phelps, a radio host, who gets fired from his radio station, and is being hunted down by a psycho named Lance (a literally breathtakingly funny Will Ferrell). Now Leon must get his pride, and his job back. The only problem is his radio show consists of completely sex talk, and he can't stop hooking up with the ladies. The first step for him to get his pride back is to find out who sent him a mysterious love letter. This involves running into lots of extremely angry women he just had sex with once and they never heard from him again. The movie is essentially a mix of him trying to avoid people who are mad at him, and purposely running into people who are mad at him. The movie is not smart, it is funny, it isn't Oscar-worthy, it is entertaining. I've got to admit, this might not have been as good if it wasn't for Will Ferrell, a great talent who basically steals the show as one of the many people who have become deranged with anger, and are determined to find Leon. The only real message you can get out of this film is Will Ferrell can make any comedy into an extremely funny one.

This film has something that a lot of comedies don't have - it is fun and enjoyable, while not taking itself too seriously. Unlike many modern comedies it does not try to be profound or convince you to become a Democrat or a Republican. It is about a guy who likes women and sex and life and that is about it. However, these are all pretty basic themes that most people can get behind and so the film does appeal. The comedy is relaxed and the cast is charming. The film exudes an optimism that is hard for anyone to knock down. The film has its flaws, but they are mainly flaws of under achievement. While it is not going to win an Academy Award, it does work quite well as a pleasant comedy that can make you laugh and feel optimistic. There is nothing wrong with that. Even doctors say that laughing and feeling optimistic can help cure disease. So if you want to enjoy yourself and you are not trying to find the next Citizen Kane, put this movie in you DVD tray and enjoy a pleasant evening that will leave you feeling good and feeling that love can win in the end. Not a bad attitude to have these days.

When Tiffani Thiessen was straddling Tim Meadows on the couch she looked hotter than ever, with those long legs in thigh-high stockings. However, her character is ridiculous. She seems to take on these vacuous, sexually charged roles often. It makes you wonder what she does in real life. But I found it depressing that she was automatically willing to sleep with the Tim Meadows character, as were all the other women he predictably bedded. But isn't it convenient that they were all so automatically willing to sleep with him? Of course they were, that was the whole point of the movie. They had to be! But how many people's lives really work this way? How many women are actually this one-dimensional and predictably available? It was completely unrealistic and quite depressing. And it also made no sense that at the end of the movie Tiffani threw herself at Billy Dee Williams! PLEASE!! And it made even less sense that Leon turned her down. Tiffani looked great, yes. If she's so easy, why can't she come over to my place and be an automatically available sex object with me??!!
