What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Ladies Man joins the growing list of mediocre movies based on SNL skits. It just doesn't have enough material to last the length of the movie.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Dumb -- SNL skits don't work as movies. Rated: 2/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out After I swallowed my disbelief and gave my critical faculties a break, yeah, I was tickled every 40 minutes or so. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian When Meadows's three-minute sketch persona is stretched out to cover a whole movie, the cracks soon start to show. Aug 10, 2001 Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review Another Saturday Night Live sketch character tries, futilely, to stretch to feature-length proportion... Rated: 1/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Christopher Smith Bangor Daily News (Maine) The director wants his film to be as smooth and as infectious as the funkadelic music he highlights throughout, but a string of bad decisions prevents that from happening. Rated: D+ Oct 18, 2007 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Just when you thought they couldn't get worse, Saturday Night Live-based movies hit a new low. Rated: 0/4 Oct 14, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Sean L Vastly underrated. Easily, top 5 comedy of the 2000’s. Better than the skits on SNL. Absolute must see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Bahad j This idea of ​​the filmmaker made the movie more accessible to more people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Бавуу Э After being ejected from his job for one too many vulgar and inappropriate comments, Leon (Tim Meadows) unsuccessfully seeks employment from every radio station in Chicago. He receives a mysterious letter from his true love asking him to return to her -- he just has to figure out who it is! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Ella M This film is far more clever than some of the Rotten Tom reviewers can digest, obviously. The axe is on their necks. It is absolutely hillarious and brilliantly written. Do not watch it if you are looking for a religious apotheosis... as it were, but definitely do if you need to laugh at your own humanity. There is a beautifully collected ensemble cast and diverse humor-pokes at every part of social reality. I love it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Tabitha B Very underrated, this movie is hilarious but short. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Marlon L Leon Phelps might be the greatest playa to grace the big screen. Forget these reviews, this movie is hilarious Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
