Stylish but barely mediocre overall
... View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
... View MoreClose shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreThis movie has some great scenes that are classic comedy in the SNL ilk, granted its one veteran here, Sanz, is not actually in them or playing a major role. From the last scene with the Animal Rights people, to the "balls" scene, to the dominatrix, this was some seriously sophisticated, funny comedy that deserves credit for being just that - you can't take this movie seriously though, but comparing it to the range of cheesy Hollywood action movies which put me to sleep (Armageddon just to name one example), it is a serious winner. Buying the Cow also highlingting Jerry O'Connell with a possee of equally funny goofballs is right up there in laugh value with this one - talk about a great double feature
... View MoreCompared to other films like Scary Movie, American Pie, There's Something About Mary, etc. Tomcats comes out to me way far ahead. The movies compared to mean to contain comedic nastiness of a sort that really is not funny but actually is possibly debilitating. Tomcats has its' share of off-color language and sexual innuendo and directness but it does not go too way over the top into continual pure dirt. I for one feel Gregory Poirier has a comedic touch and got a lot from his cast as maybe fun was had by all on the set and it shows in the film and featurettes of the DVD I purchased twice and have given. The menu alone for the DVD and the opening credits I can play for hours they are just that cute to me for the film they are the setup for.Here, here to Tomcats. Need more.
... View MoreThis 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
... 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
