Synopsis:
Tomcats is the outrageously hilarious and sexy comedy about hooking up, hanging out and trying to stay single.

Vowing never to get married, six buddies contribute $1,000 each into a mutual fund with the agreement that the last single man gets it all. Seven years later, there are only two bachelors left - Michael (Jerry O`Connell) and Kyle (Jake Busey) and the kitty has grown to a half a million dollars. Desperate to pay off a huge gambling debt, Michael plots to get Kyle married by tracking down super-sexy Natalie (American Pie`s Shannon Elizabeth), "the lost love of Kyle`s life". Through a little creative intervention involving a dominatrix librarian, a Las Vegas mobster, and a quick trip to a sperm bank, Michael and Natalie scheme to trick Kyle into unholy matrimony and split the money. But when Michael finds himself falling for Natalie, the dash for cash takes a wild turn in this raucous laugh-fest!

Your Opinions and Comments

6 / 10
A horrible comedy that is extremely NOT funny, yet tries (and succeeds) to be rude beyond belief.
The video transfer is ok. There are no compression signs and the picture is generally clear of scratches.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is average. The surrounds are hardly ever used, although their usage would`ve been nice in several scenes.
The menus are all animated with sound.
There are no extras on the disk. Do take the time and watch the end credits. They include some outtakes that are ten times funnier than the movie itself.
Bottom line - in one word - avoid.
