...Ladies Man is the kind of movie I've come to describe as "stupid funny." The humor ranges from tongue-in-cheek (the V.S.A.'s musical numbers-which, by the way, are a riot) to downright crude (most of the jokes involving Leon's "wang" fall under this category), and some of the plot turns are painfully predictable.

...pretty good guess, but we also thought the Israelis would never agree to sit face to face with Arafat. Imagine our astonishment when we saw Arafat on the lawn of the White House! Clinton now calls him "my friend"! Madeleine Albright kisses him on the cheek! That's the work of fiction...
