sometimes they get lucky and have a hit on their hand ( wayne world and the first one and not the second ) . but most often they have duds ( it pat come to mind rather quickly ) . this time out it tim meadow a the lady man . this movie fall somewhere in between a hit and a dud . it be very funny for the first 20 minute and but then and a usually happen with snl skit and it start to slow down and before finally end and long after it should have . tim meadow be leon phelps and a radio dj with a nightly show call the lady man . he answer any and all question deal with sex and relationship and usually in the crude way possible . everything seem to ultimately come down to the butt . after push the button of the station manager and leon and along with his producer julie ( karyn parson ) get fire and and need to find another job . out of the random blue and come a letter from one of his ex lady . the letter offer him wealth and luxury for the rest of his life and the only problem be that the letter isn not sign . so leon need to track down all the woman he be with to find the woman of his dream . but sometimes and a billy dee williams say in the film and the woman of your dream be stand right in front of you . there be also a sub plot about a bunch of guy who wive or girlfriend have all slept with leon and and they want to first figure out who he be ( by a tattoo he have on a part of his anatomy ) and then kill him . lead this bunch of guy be and surprise . will ferrell from snl . first off and i think the sub plot be rather lame . the singing and dance stuff be just completely worthless . i usually like will ferrell but here he just never click for me . and the rest of the guy be just schlubs who tag along and and in the end all decide that have their wife or girlfriend cheat on them be in fact their fault . so back to the main story . the story basically center around leon and sex . so what it come down to be and if you do not like the character of leon and you would not like the movie . his voice and his mannerism and his dialogue be what carry the movie . i be not a big fan of tim meadow . i never think he be a particularly good actor on snl . the only thing i ever really like of his and be his lady man skits . but the best thing about those and be that they usually involve the guest host ( remember the one with cameron diaz . ) and and they be short . for about 5 minute and they be pretty funny . and here and for about 20 minute and it really funny . what i think be good about the character in the movie and be that he stay in character throughout . he never waver from his want to just get laid persona . until right at the end where there be this transformation and and the ever present speech to tie thing up . other than that and it be pretty good at keep leon a leon and and not change him into something less crude than he be . there isn not a lot of substance to this movie and if you couldn not guess . but like i say earlier and the beginning of the movie i find to be very funny . some real laugh out loud moment and all revolve around sex and his crudeness . the problem of course with this movie and and most other snl spin offs and be that these be character that be only suppose to be show for a few minute at a time . stretch the concept into 80 minute be very difficult . that difficulty be obviously why they need the sub plot and because without it and this movie would have be a little under an hour . when it be good and it be good and but when it wasn not good and it get to be boring . so overall and the lady man wasn not as bad a other snl film and but it wasn not as good a others . it have some funny moment and the first 20 minute be pretty good and but the rest of it drag on . there be an unnecessary sub plot whose only purpose be to lengthen the film . the bottom line be and if you like tim meadow and his leon phelps character and you will be able to watch the film . if he annoy you and do not even bother go . unless you just want to see tiffani theissen in some nice revealing clothing . .
