    A guilty pleasure, right up there with "The Water Boy."

    A collection of double entendres that would make a stevedore blush.

    An unblushing sex farce often so raw it might make even fairly open-minded people feel a bit uncomfortable.

    Overstays its welcome.

    The film is a harmless extension of the skit, aimed at fans and best viewed as a showcase for Meadows's considerable talents.

    One more case of a winning ''SNL'' character tamed by the wan, fizzled farce around him.

    Manages to sustain a sweet, funny groove for, say, 65 of its 85 minutes.

    80 minutes of comic mistiming and missed opportunities.

    Not without its humorous moments, but they are too few and far between.

    Tepid and only sporadically amusing.

    Has some funny, dirty-minded jokes, a few amusing cameos (including Julianne Moore in clown makeup) and a soundtrack loaded with juicy cuts of mid-70's vintage soul and funk.

    Desperately unfunny.

    As movies about relic sex machines go, this one lacks mojo.

    This Paramount release doubles the insult because it rips off the title of one of the studio's best-remembered Jerry Lewis comedies.

    The story sinks, along with any deeper laughs, under boringly formulaic motivations and plot twists.

    Even worse than what the critics give it credit for! SNL needs to stop with these movies based on their skits. First there was the coneheads, then superstar, and now the ever so dreadful Ladies Man… Full Review »
