Tomcats (2001): Dir: Gregory Poirier / Cast: Jerry O'Connell, Jake Busey, Shannon Elizabeth, Horatio Sanz, Jaime Pressly: Stupid teen sex comedy about a group of bachelors who bet on who can remain single the longest. When Jerry O'Connell loses big time in Vegas he makes a deal with the police woman who arrests him. Apparently a fellow bachelor stood her up and she accepts the task of helping O'Connell win. Familiar concept seems lifted from the superior American Pie. Directed by Gregory Poirier who does a fine job at spoofing other films throughout, which gives this perverted escapade some visual appeal. Despite its idiocy O'Connell plays off the humour effectively as a helpless victim of chance when assaulted with one sexual turnoff after another. Jake Busey plays a womanizer counter to O'Connell who will arrive at the same moronic climax as his competition with no sense of decency. Shannon Elizabeth as the police woman who becomes nothing more than a sexual prop. Is it difficult to predict that she and O'Connell will hook up? Horatio Sanz plays O'Connell's airhead friend. Jaime Pressly is featured so that Elizabeth can have competitive eye candy. Vulgar scenes include a testicle that makes an incredible journey onto someone's dinner plate. The purpose of this film is to feed off the success of American Pie thus becoming a pointless perverted orgy. Score: 4 / 10

This is just a good old boys romp where you don't think but just enjoy the ride.Jerry O'Connell is so funny in this movie. The take off from other movies ie: Tom Cruise on the rock climbing is a good inside/outside joke.And yes I laughed out loud at the two scenes with Grandma as the Domintrix with both Jerry and Jake Busey at the end.I really do see this as a guy movie but as a date movie it would do the trick as woman could have a good laugh at the expense of the men.Good Show!!

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

This is surprisingly not that bad, and actually rather amusing, it was vulgar, but overall a pleasant time waster. All the characters are good, and the story is amusing enough, plus Jerry O'Connell was quite funny as the main lead as I really dug him. Shannon and Jerry had good chemistry together, and Jake Busey stole a lot of the scenes, plus one of the funniest moments in the movie for me is when a Doctor eats a testicle disgusting but funny. It had some pretty good music, and the ending really cracked me up, as it was quite clever, plus there is plenty of great eye candy to enjoy as well. Dakota Fanning had a cool cameo as a little girl in the park, and some of the gags are really tasteless, but I just couldn't help but find some of them hilarious, plus it's decently made and written as well. All the characters are very likable, and The outtakes at the end were funny as well, plus this should be a little bit higher then 4.6 in my opinion. Sure there were quite a few misses, but it never bored me, and I didn't regret watching it, however it's nothing special. This is surprisingly not that bad, and actually rather amusing, it was vulgar, but overall it was a pleasant time waster, worth the watch. The Direction is decent. Gregory Poirier does a decent job here with solid camera work, and keeping the pace fast enough, even if the jokes Wern't constantly funny. The Acting is actually somewhat fun. Jerry O'Connell is actually very funny and likable as the main lead, he never over does it, and was really born to play this role, he also had very good chemistry with Shannon Elizabeth, had a cool character, and made the film better with his excellent performance. Shannon Elizabeth is gorgeous, and does very well in her role here, she seemed to be having a lot of fun, and had a really likable character, she was also very sexy and, I just loved how she handled Jake Busey's character!. Jake Busey is great here, he stole a lot of the scenes, as the overly horny pig, but I just couldn't help but like him, as he was really funny, he was especially great at the end!. Horatio Sanz is funny as Steve, as I loved his reaction when he found his GF messing around with another woman, and they asked him to join them. Jaime Pressly is also gorgeous, and did very well with what she had to do, which was not much, but man was she ever sexy!. Dakota Fanning had a cool cameo. Heather Stephens was hot as the sexy red head mistress. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall worth the watch. **1/2 out of 5
