The Ladies Man (2000)
Yet another Saturday-Night-Live spinoff, this time something a little less recognisable for me; being unfamiliar with Tim Meadows (who wrote and starred in this film).
'The Ladies Man' is Leon Phelps (Meadows), a 70s-leftover who gives inappropriate love advice on radio. Eventually his mouth gets him kicked off the air and he and his producer find themselves looking for a new job. Along the way they hang out with some winos and Phelps' prolific sexlife leads him to trouble.
It's not a classic like 'Waynes World' and it certainly wasn't anywhere near as funny as I expected it to be. It has a few genuinely side-splitting moments but it isn't afraid to resort to the cliched staples of post-SNL American comedy movies. The supporting actors are better than usual and Meadows showcases his hilarious creation 'The Ladies Man' rather well. Unfortunately though, I didn't find myself smiling enough to give this the complete thumbs up.
HIGHLIGHTS: Watch for a surprising cameo when Leon Phelps meets up with an old lover, a clown.
