Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

In its mingling of horniness and disgust, Tomcats attains a convoluted cleverness.

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

An "American Pie" wanna-be that, in trying to be as tasteless as possible, sometimes succeeds.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

Much of Tomcats is actually boisterously, crudely entertaining.

50

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Raucously energetic and replete with a barrage of graphic sexual humor.

50

USA Today Mike Clark

This is 90 minutes of gags of the lowest order, yet Poirier occasionally injects them with more energy than anything in "Heartbreakers."

Boston Globe Jay Carr

Isn't as funny as it is crude, and isn't as crude as it is labored.

38

Chicago Tribune Loren King

Just a schlock romance pumped with testosterone.

30

TV Guide Steve Simels

Criticism seems irrelevant at best.

Chicago Reader Reece Pendleton

At least it has the decency not to pretend it's aspiring any higher than the toilet.

The New York Times Dave Kehr

Desperately, depressingly in thrall to the Farrelly formula.

Variety Todd McCarthy

A boner-headed comedy whose sense of gross-out humor is calculated rather than inspired.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

Laced with such rampant misogyny that the laughs stick in your throat.

LA Weekly John Patterson

Grotesque and ugly.

Mr. Showbiz Larry Terenzi

There aren't even any naked chicks in it. What the hell is up with that?

Film.com Robert Horton

Re-adjust the levels of cinematic hell, because "Porky's" just got bumped up a notch.

Go expecting the very worst. Just don't expect to laugh.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

There is a bright spot. He (Poirier) used up all his doggy-do-do ideas in the first picture "See Spot Run."

San Francisco Chronicle Carla Meyer

Offers only tired jokes, grimace-worthy physical comedy and bad, bad acting.

Thatem W gave it a7:
Don't listen to the critics. This is a great protrayal of early-mid 90's craziness. Mature audience.

Michael R. gave it a7:
It was hilarious from start to finish.I remember practically every scene.

Brian n gave it a0:
It took 'my name is earl' to strike this demerit off Pressly's record. Horatio Sanz managed to make an even worse movie 2 years later when 'Boat Trip' released. in summation, this movie sucks.

Bertil A. gave it a2:
There is quite simply no reason to see this movie. It is completely pointless and does not make you smile once (I tried my very best).

Steve gave it a0:
Gives new meaning to the word "unwatchable."

Gino E. gave it a 5:
The funny bits are the little things. Like needing to first throw 20 cuddly toys of the best before you can make love to a girl... It's moments like this that made me smile. Mostly because I've been in those kind of situations myself.

Frenchies gave it a 10:
Nice film, nice gags, nice music!!
