    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • 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
      Even if we allow for a suspension of disbelief to move the story along, it must be noted that Nevada strictly regulates its casinos. In short, Michael would not have been allowed to lose so heavily, and Carlos's solution is completely illegal. In real life, Michael should have immediately gone to the police or to the Nevada State Gaming Control Board.
    • Quotes

      Carlos: I'm curious, Mr. Delaney. How did you get the money?

      Michael: I guess you could say I sold my soul.

      Carlos: Yeah, I see a lot of that.

    Funnier than I expected
    I went to see this movie in a fairly downcast mood and was looking for something to cheer me up. Tomcats certainly seemed to hit the spot.

    There are days when I'm looking for some serious moviegoing or a great spectacle to watch & there are days when I just want to lean back & be entertained.

    Tomcats fell into the latter category & left me with a smile on my face for the weekend.

    It would be easy to criticise the film (as a lot of people have done) but much of this criticism seems unfair to me.

    I'd say give it a try with a few friends - you might just be surprised!
