A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
This film has something that a lot of comedies don't have - it is fun and enjoyable, while not taking itself too seriously. Unlike many modern comedies it does not try to be profound or convince you to become a Democrat or a Republican. It is about a guy who likes women and sex and life and that is about it. However, these are all pretty basic themes that most people can get behind and so the film does appeal. The comedy is relaxed and the cast is charming. The film exudes an optimism that is hard for anyone to knock down. The film has its flaws, but they are mainly flaws of under achievement. While it is not going to win an Academy Award, it does work quite well as a pleasant comedy that can make you laugh and feel optimistic. There is nothing wrong with that. Even doctors say that laughing and feeling optimistic can help cure disease. So if you want to enjoy yourself and you are not trying to find the next Citizen Kane, put this movie in you DVD tray and enjoy a pleasant evening that will leave you feeling good and feeling that love can win in the end. Not a bad attitude to have these days.
When Tiffani Thiessen was straddling Tim Meadows on the couch she looked hotter than ever, with those long legs in thigh-high stockings. However, her character is ridiculous. She seems to take on these vacuous, sexually charged roles often. It makes you wonder what she does in real life. But I found it depressing that she was automatically willing to sleep with the Tim Meadows character, as were all the other women he predictably bedded. But isn't it convenient that they were all so automatically willing to sleep with him? Of course they were, that was the whole point of the movie. They had to be! But how many people's lives really work this way? How many women are actually this one-dimensional and predictably available? It was completely unrealistic and quite depressing. And it also made no sense that at the end of the movie Tiffani threw herself at Billy Dee Williams! PLEASE!! And it made even less sense that Leon turned her down. Tiffani looked great, yes. If she's so easy, why can't she come over to my place and be an automatically available sex object with me??!!
I must say, this movie has given me a dual personality. I've been told again and again to SHUT UP and start speaking like a normal person. But, it's very hard... no not the wang. Did you find that disgusting and disrespectful? Well, get in the mood for a lot more. This movie is just filthy! It's not a film to show your grand-parents, but you should show it to a teenager or some immature guy at your workplace. Anyway, back to the voice mannerisms. Fortunately this site has some Ladies Man (did anyone at the studio notice that there's supposed to be a apostrophe(?) between the e and s?) so you can always have a fine little something to say to your boss or the cops. I have a sheet in my wallet.
