Trivia
The idea for Tomcats came to writer/director Gregory Poirier when he overheard a couple of college buddies discussing their own bachelor bet.

Goofs
The tape recorder Michael is holding is run by batteries. Therefore, he would not get shocked, even in the sauna he was in.

6/10

Vulgar but spirited and energetic comedy.

By some lucky (?) chance, I watched this movie a few days after watching "Flesh Gordon 2", so I was able to easily tell the difference between a likable moronic and tasteless sex comedy and a painful moronic and tasteless sex comedy. Granted, "Tomcats" has more energy than laughs, and the story is predictable in the extreme; however, it works by mixing in some sweetness along with the vulgarity, and it certainly helps that Jerry O'Connell and Shannon Elizabeth have a nice chemistry together - you get the feeling they would make a likable pair. Now, if only they had given a larger role to Jaime Pressly....(**1/2)
