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

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

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

    Just a schlock romance pumped with testosterone.

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

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

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

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

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

    Much of Tomcats is actually boisterously, crudely entertaining.

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

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

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

    Don't listen to the critics. This is a great protrayal of early-mid 90's craziness. Mature audience.
