action

Leon Phelps is the host of a radio show in which he gives dubious love and erotic tips. He is a macho himself and absolutely convinced of his attraction. However, one day he goes too far and is fired. Fortunately, he receives a letter in which a former flame writes that he would continue to fully support and finance his lifestyle if only he would come back to her. Unfortunately the letter is unsigned so he doesn't know who it is from. Rather, he must now seek out all of his past conquests to find out. He not only discovers what he really looked like to all the women, but is also persecuted by all the horned husbands who want to kill him.

criticism

"Anemic attempt to breathe life into the popular Hank Ketcham comic strip in a television adaptation; in the youthful lead wrongly cast and neither funny nor exciting. "

- Lexicon of international film

“ With this film , ' Saturday Night Live ' maker Tim Meadows adapted one of his TV skits for the big screen. But the story directed by Reginald Hudlin ("Boomerang") does not last as long as a feature film. So many lengths, duplications and gossip gags creep in. It's a shame, because the basic idea has something. "

- prism

“ Ladies Man is also a cinematic zero number, an unimaginative verbal erotic farce in which Leon is constantly babbling about his 'dick' and lisping piggies at the level of giggling elementary school children. The whole thing looks like a dreary sitcom from the late-night program - only that no laughs from the tape draw your attention to the fact that you have missed a punch line again. "
