Most of the jokes are broad, and a lot of them quite dumb, but dammit, they work.

Reviews for Tomcats
A lame stinker.

Tomcats is the first film to be produced by Revolution, the new company of former Disney Studios boss Joe Roth. If this is the revolution, start it without me.

The funniest scene in Tomcats is at the end of a series of outtakes shown during the closing credits. Should you sit through what precedes it just to reach this puny payoff? No.

Despite the packaging, it's a genuinely sweet movie.

Poirier wants to revel in the gutter, but despite the juvenile vulgarity of Tomcats, his head is in the clouds.

Tomcats wins, hands-down, the lowest common denominator award so far this year.

A second-rate "American Pie" wannabe.

A bait-and-switch that would make a used car salesman cry 'foul!'

Although the uneven Tomcats isn't quite worth recommending, it does produce some nice laughs.
03/28/01
A wildly uneven charade, swinging between the wildly offensive and some genuine, tasteless humor.

Had Say It Isn't So abandoned its lewd, naughty roots and tried to just be a sweet romance, it might have worked better.

Here's a movie that makes Rob Schneider look like Lionel Barrymore.

Tomcats knows what its target audience is, goes all out to entertain it and, in that respect, the film should be a success.
03/27/01
With all due respect to the SPCA, Tomcats should be put down ASAP.

This movie doesn't try real hard to be much, so I guess maybe I shouldn't try so hard to dissect it so much.
03/26/01
The only truly offensive thing about Tomcats, a bottom feeder of a gross-out comedy desperately wanting to be the next Road Trip or American Pie, is how numbingly unfunny an hour and a half can be.

Top CriticTons of eye candy...but one giant mess of a story.
