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
... View MoreI had expected a fairly straightforward R-rated graphic, sexual, crude teen-comedy when I sat down to see this... it turned out to be fairly accurate... only it was far more sick and disgusting than I would have thought. I don't know if the director/writer Gregory Poirier is sick or deeply messed up sexually, but I doubt that a normal person could have made a movie like this. I could probably have taken it if it was just that, if the only thing that was wrong was it was that it required a tough stomach... but it isn't. The film is also horribly mean-spirited and disturbing... every single character that has more than one full second of time on-screen is an extreme... sexually, mentally or physically. I don't know if this is just the director's sense of humor, but I just found it to be... wrong. Just wrong. Even in a comedy, there is supposed to be some seriousness. The plot is stupid. The acting is bad. The characters are inconsistent and poorly written... all of them. There isn't one single likable character in the film. The humor is disgusting and goes way too far. The film is just so incredibly poorly done that I really don't think it's worth anyone's time. If you like R-rated, crude comedies with plenty of sexual innuendo and graphic stuff, watch The Groomsmen, or, better yet, American Pie... or Road Trip, my personal favorite. But don't watch this. I can't possibly describe to you how bad it is... you would have to experience it for yourself. However, this is one of those times where I'll say that you're better off wondering. That way you can just imagine that this film goes very close to the bottom... without knowing that it goes through it, and far lower than that. This movie most of all looks like a group of horny teenage guys got together, put together a film crew, and every-time one of them got an idea, they filmed it, and later put the entire thing together. It lacks structure, consistency and taste. I recommend this only to horny teenage guys who have seen every single other R-rated crude teen comedy and who don't care about quality. Everyone else... do the sensible thing; avoid this. It's not even worth it to see the booty. Believe me. 1/10
... View MoreI picked this movie of the DVD self wanting to see some teenage comedy and hot chicks. And that's exactly what this movie is. Nothing more, Nothing less. In the end credits there are some gags, I probably found the Michael and director (slight spoiler hint) one funnier than half the movie. I love these Teen flicks.
... View MoreTomcats (2001) Jerry O' Connell, Shannon Elizabeth, Jake Busey, Jaime Pressly, Horatio Sanz, Bernie Casey, David Odgen Stiers, D: Gregory Poirier. Dirty and childish excuse for a romantic comedy about six friends who make a bet: the last one to be a bachelor wins a mutual fund of $6,000; when seven years pass, a cartoonist and a sex-aholic are the only two bachelors left while one of them searches in find of longtime bridesmaid Elizabeth from his friend's wedding for the other so he can get the money. Degrades women as bimbos and men alike as sex maniacs in a cast of one-dimensional characters acting out humiliating, gross-out gags concerning lesbians, erections, oral sex, anything, you name it, but its lowest point has to be the cancerous testicle on-the-loose! Running Time: 95 minutes and rated R for strong sexual content including dialogue, and for language. *
