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.

Tomcats (2001): Dir: Gregory Poirier / Cast: Jerry O'Connell, Jake Busey, Shannon Elizabeth, Horatio Sanz, Jaime Pressly: Stupid teen sex comedy about a group of bachelors who bet on who can remain single the longest. When Jerry O'Connell loses big time in Vegas he makes a deal with the police woman who arrests him. Apparently a fellow bachelor stood her up and she accepts the task of helping O'Connell win. Familiar concept seems lifted from the superior American Pie. Directed by Gregory Poirier who does a fine job at spoofing other films throughout, which gives this perverted escapade some visual appeal. Despite its idiocy O'Connell plays off the humour effectively as a helpless victim of chance when assaulted with one sexual turnoff after another. Jake Busey plays a womanizer counter to O'Connell who will arrive at the same moronic climax as his competition with no sense of decency. Shannon Elizabeth as the police woman who becomes nothing more than a sexual prop. Is it difficult to predict that she and O'Connell will hook up? Horatio Sanz plays O'Connell's airhead friend. Jaime Pressly is featured so that Elizabeth can have competitive eye candy. Vulgar scenes include a testicle that makes an incredible journey onto someone's dinner plate. The purpose of this film is to feed off the success of American Pie thus becoming a pointless perverted orgy. Score: 4 / 10

Tomcats, is the movie that made base purely on young man entertainment. But to tell the truth, Tomcats might be the movie without brain, but it is entertaining.The group of friends makes a bet - the last man-standing (from being a bachelor) win that bet moneys. After losing money at the casino that threaten to kill Michael one of the only two bachelor tried to find a wife for his friend to win that money.Some of the stuff on the movie might be extremely crude and humorless, but overall it is Jerry movie, so don't have any hope for it and it will be watch able.NOTE: If you ain't no fan of Jerry, there are like 80% chance that you will probably hate most of his movie. Reason To Watch: · Watch Shannon Elizabeth, she does look gorgeous here, · Sex related,Reason Not To: · Old guys with teenage storyline and role, · Eating human scrotum ain't funny, · Only concern on guys viewer (offended to female)Rating: 5.5/10 (Grade: D+)

I 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
