jammsg I don't know what you're looking for pero this movie is funny. Don't let the hate on here sway you. This movie has jokes for days!
videorama-759-859391 Here was a comedy surprise, which really made me laugh, again and again, it shi..ed all over Undercover Brother. Tim Meadows is a comedy acting revelation, and what's he's brought to the screen here, is an infectious comedy, with a wonderfully written script, with such memorable dialogue, one misinterpreted conversation between our 'ladies man' Leon and a nun is a crack up. Too we have, a few lively choreographed scenes to the movie's title'd song, featuring some angry vengeance seeking husbands, who the ladies man has been doing. Leon (a excellent Meadows) is a talk show host, whose frank and crass advice hasn't always been helpful to the unsatisfied honey's all over New York. One of his fan letters, from a secret admirer, sees our shallow and selfish Leon, set up for the rest of his life, bathing in riches, so a quest begins to find this one woman, where the real lady of his life has been in front of him, all the time. A great taste challenge scene, involving really old, hard turds, will have you saying "What the fu..?". It's another funny moment among many others. This comedy will really brighten up your night, an unmissable comedy gem, for which Pearson gives it it's magic. Watch out for a sexy unbilled Julianne Moore, one of the sexiest clowns you'll meet. A non stop laugh comedy, you must invest your viewing time in. It's also the first movie, you'll see a baby afro. Don't miss this one. Billy Dee Williams is a thankful return presence as a bartender, retelling Leon's story.
C. Sean Currie (hypestyle) I picked up the DVD a few weeks ago and finally got to see the whole film.This film is hilarious! There were so many WTF!! moments... ;D It helps if you just accept this as a screwball comedy from the get-go. Characters break the fourth wall early on, so that's something to keep in mind.Tim Meadows plays Leon, a Chicago-based late-night radio talk show host, "The Ladies' Man", who focuses on love & romance related issues. He's popular, but controversial, as his on-air commentaries are frequently raunchy and ribald. One evening, the station manager (Eugene Levy) has had enough and he fires Leon and his producer (played by Karyn Parsons of TV's "Fresh Prince"). In the meanwhile, a strange all-male support group plots to track down Leon for, shall we say, making them cuckolds. The leader of the group is played by fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus Will Ferrell.Tim Meadow's Leon is clueless, moronic and sex-obsessed, but also a decent guy, deep down. His portrayal is of a man that is grossly out of touch with reality, yet obtusely hidden gems of wisdom can be found within his crude radio commentaries.The story of being the adopted son of Hugh Hefner was nuts! We never find out whether it was true or not-- a cameo by the real Hugh Hefner would have been cool.Billy Dee Williams as Lester.. spot on! (And at first I thought he might be Leon's real dad.) Did I miss any Colt 45 product placement? ...Here's the always reliable John Witherspoon ("scrap iron"? LOL...) ...and of course the director as Leon's tailor! Karyn Parsons.. so lovely, and amiable as the straight woman to Tim's antics as Leon. (she needs another TV show!) Tiffani Thiessen... I admired her from afar on Saved By the Bell, but... wow... (repeat: she needs another TV show!) ...The woman who plays Candy.. I'd swear I've heard her voice before..Will Ferrell does so much here it's insane... He pretty much takes over every scene he's in.. the first VSA meeting is gold...The song and dance sequence.. who did the choreography? The bar food challenge was one of the most hilarious-- and disgusting-- segments in the movie!! ... there was a whole lot of liquor consumed in this film-- or maybe it was really iced tea or something? ...So many left field appearances lend to the pleasantly surreal atmosphere of the narrative. Tamala Jones.. nice!! Julianne Moore.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????? Then Julianne Moore in a clown outfit...?!!!!!!!!?!?!??! ... I wonder what was involved in decorating Leon's funky houseboat digs? (and where'd that remote control come from? , LOL) You'll enjoy this film whether you rent it, buy it or stream it.Tim Meadows is an underrated, underused talent, especially considering his long tenure on Saturday Night Live. This film only received modest returns at the box office, but it is definitely worth checking out.
jts0405 Yes it may be goofy and may not seem as funny as many high budget comedies out there, but this movie is truly hilarious if you really watch it. Tim Meadows has always struck me as being funny off of the Saturday Night Live show. Whenever he would do this character on the show I would crack up laughing. So after I saw this was going to be playing on Comedy Central one night I decided to check it out. All in all I was farily impressed with this movie, because it wasn't meant to win any Oscars or become comedy of the year, but it did entertain the Saturday Night Live fans that love the Ladies Man character. This movie is also packed with some highly quotable lines that can be recited for years to come.
