Why the low scores?
Funny, juvenile but funny...
** Here might be spoilers ** This movie is kind of a enigma to me. No, be serious, I got the plot, the whole predictable plot. At a wedding the remaining bachelors makes a bet that whoever is the last bachelor will win a bundle of money. One after one they marry and finally there are only two left, Michael, the cartoonist and Kyle, the playboy. Suddenly life gets complicated for Michael as he loses lots of money in a Las Vegas casino, and only one month to pay. He sees only one solution, he must win that bet.
This film is juvenile. No doubt about it. It is completely filled with very nice-looking women, some of them wearing very little (but actually surprisingly little nudity). The jokes are mostly about sex or cruel ones like falling over cliffs. Sure, they makes you laugh a little, but not that much. There are some really good jokes here and there however, some nice spoofs or some rather funny detail. And this makes the whole movie much better than expected. 7/10
Brainless and tasteless. But fairly fun.
Jerry O'Connell plays Michael Delany, one of a group of college pals who call themselves The Tomcats. When one of their number gets married at the age of 19, the rest of the gang make a deal to remain unwed for as long as possible, each guy putting a monthly sum of money into a pot that will be collected by the last bachelor standing. Seven years later, at another of the group's wedding in Las Vegas, Michael loses a small fortune trying to impress a woman (who looked like a tranny to me). Given a month to pay up by the casino's ruthless boss, Michael tries to set up the only other remaining bachelor Tomcat, Kyle (Jake Busey),with ex-fling Natalie (Elizabeth),so that he can collect the money and settle his debt. Predictably, Michael ends up falling for Natalie himself, which leads to all sorts of complications.
I watched Tomcats solely for Shannon Elizabeth, who has the ability to make most men feel funny in the trouser department with just a smile. I wasn't expecting the film to be laugh out loud funny, and it wasn't. I wasn't really expecting Elizabeth to strip off, and she didn't. Tomcats did, however, manage to entertain me more than I thought it would with a likable cast who are clearly having lots of fun, a basic plot that is actually half decent, and numerous attractive women (in addition to Elizabeth). The low brow humour—which includes a 'viagra at a wedding' scene, testicle eating, sperm donation gags, Jake Busey baring his ass in a thong (a sight I had hoped to go to my grave without seeing),lesbian sex, and a dominatrix librarian and her S&M grandmother—is extremely hit and miss, and will no doubt offend, disgust and annoy many people; however, if crass comedies are your thing, there's probably enough debauchery, smut and tastelessness on show to make this a reasonably painless way to pass the time.
