Tomcats: A funny movie about sex!
By Dave Renderman Staff Writer
O’Connell plays a struggling cartoonist who makes a bet with his friends - whoever was the last guy to be single would win the money in the pot . Things get complicated as O’Connell loses over $50,000 dollars gambling. He must pay the owner of the casino, in one month, or he is a dead man. Jake Busey, who plays O’Connel’s best friend, is one of the last two single men in the group. James, after losing all that money becomes very desperate. He goes out, and attempts to find a hooker who could seduce Busey into marriage. He goes strolling for hookers, and gets busted by a lady cop, dressed as one, Shannon Elizabeth. Elizabeth arrests O’Connell, but he is able to talk Shannon into helping him seduce his friend into marrying her. She agrees because Busey talked her into sleeping with him at their friends wedding 4 years earlier. Shannon was a bridesmaid for that wedding, and never heard from Busey since that night. She decides to get revenge on Busey for what he did to her all those years ago. Along the way, Shannon and James tried to pull some outrageous things to get Gary. While all of this is going on, James starts to have feelings for Shannon, but decides not to act on them. Shannon seems to have feelings for him as well, but she hides her feelings too. Things get complicated when Gary starts acting all nice and caring around Shannon. He feels that they are soul mates, and he begins to fall in love with her. James start to feel worried when Shannon tells him that she is beginning to fall for Gary as well. James feels angry and depressed, and starts having sex with any girl he meets. He even gets involved with a cute little librarian girl, who turns about to be a sex freak, and they have a very interesting little scene together. He starts to feel strongly about Shannon, and the race is on to try and stop the wedding between her and Busey. It is less than 12 hours before he owes the money for his gambling debts, but decides that being with Shannon is more important. The day after Gary’s bachelor party, O’Connell finds that Gary has left for the wedding and he rushes to try and stop it. When he arrives, he sees that the wedding has come and gone, and walks away and never looks back. He receives the money for the debt, and is able to pay it off in time. A couple of months later, he sees Busey kissing another girl, and gets into a fight with him. Gary tells him that the marriage never happened, and James rushes to find Shannon. He eventually finds her, proposes to her, and they eventually get married. This movie has a nice mix of comedy, sex, and love. The movie is good and is geared toward the young audience. It is definitely worth seeing. The Columbia Chronicle would like to hear your opinion on this topic. Note: If your browser does not support multiple windows, click here.
