From the opening animated title sequence to the vulgarities at the film's climax, Gregory Poirer's directing debut is an obnoxiously funny comedy with a sharp romantic edge flowering beneath its T&A exterior. The plot surrounds a "kitty" (double entendre intended), created by a group of swinging pals determined to stave off marriage at all costs, with the cash headed towards whoever stays single the longest. Seven years later, only two of the friends remain single, and the pot is up to a half million in cash. When one of the two singles, Michael Delaney (Jerry O'Connell), runs afoul of the Las Vegas gambling mafia on account of a big-breasted babe, he needs that kitty cash desperately. Michael attempts to con his competitor, Kyle Brenner (Jake Busey), into marrying the wildly attractive policewoman Natalie (Shannon Elizabeth), who holds a personal vendetta against Kyle. But the best laid plans begin to run afoul when Natalie and Michael fall for each other instead. Filled with totally gross sex gags, pot shots at other films, and slapstick humor, TOMCATS is a humorous take on adult men who have not outgrown their adolescent mentalities about love, sex, and relationships.

A group of buddies make a bet that could save Michael Delaney’s (Jerry O’Connell) life. He owes a Vegas casino from a gambling spree and he needs the cash.
There is only one person standing in his way… Kyle (Jake Busey), a notorious womanizer and Michael’s competition to win the bet, the money and his life back. It seems hopeless, but Michael has a secret weapon… Natalie (Shannon Elizabeth).
Meet the Tomcats, a group of freewheeling, sex-fueled single buddies as they go up against each other in a betting pool that will leave the "last man standing" unmarried with the jackpot. The first victim, Steve (Horatio Sanz), succumbs to holy matrimony with the luscious Tricia (Jaime Pressly) in Las Vegas. Fast-forward seven years to today, when all of the Tomcats are now married and starting families with the exception of two confirmed bachelors…
First, Michael, a talented yet struggling cartoonist who hides the soul of a nice guy somewhere below his philandering exterior. During a night of Las Vegas debauchery (where he gets himself in trouble with yet another buxom and brazen redhead), he drums up a $51,000 casino tab (plus the mini-bar) that he can’t pay. Michael is faced with a deadly ultimatum to either cough up the dough in a month or suffer a painful death at the hands of casino boss Carlos. Michael realizes that his only option is to win the old bet and pocket the bachelor money (which has been shrewdly invested over the years and is now worth nearly a half million bucks). So in 30 days, he has to marry off…
Kyle, whose idea of a romantic date is golfing while his girlfriend caddies. Kyle does reveal, however, that he came close to true love once, when he wooed a beautiful young girl named…
Natalie, who met Kyle when she was one of the bridesmaids at the wedding where the infamous bachelor pact was sealed. Michael tracks her down in Hollywood, where Natalie agrees to the scheme—provided she gets half of the money.
But when Michael begins to fall for Natalie as they stake out Kyle, her groom-to-be, this dedicated Tomcat who dreads commitment realizes he may win the bet… but lose the woman he loves.

One might reasonably expect Tomcats to be the Porky's of 2001: after all, it concerns a group of young, sexist morons and their fears and fantasies about young women. But Tomcats isn't quite as brain-dead as that, though it is phenomenally more neurotic. Jerry O'Connell plays one of two remaining bachelors within a group of wealthy pals who set aside a cash reward, years before, earmarked for the last among them to get married. O'Connell needs the money to pay off a gambling debt, but his problem is that the other bachelor is a horrendous pig (Jake Busey) unlikely ever to land a gal. A general mean-spiritedness flows through this wearying comedy, manifest in such ugly moments as watching someone's girlfriend run over by a golf cart and an excised, cancerous testicle kicked around hospital hallways. If you're looking for female flesh, however, forget it: Tomcats is far more driven to explore male nudity, while making equally naked today's masculine fears of impotence, mothers, and lesbians. --Tom Keogh
