Trivia

The scene with Michael and the dominatrix pays a homage to the classic story of "Little Red Riding Hood" For Example: Jill The dominatrix lives in a house with her grandma in a house with a picket fence. In the story of "Little Red Riding Hood", the big bad wolf locks up or eats the real grandma, then disguises himself as the grandmother to lure Little Red Riding Hood into his trap. Tomcats does it in the opposite, The dominatrix disguises herself as a shy librarian to lure men into her trap. Also at the end of the movie Michael's friend Kyle comments Jill about her being a 'Big bad dominatrix'.

User Reviews

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)
