...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. But you know what? Who cares? This movie was made purely for laughs.

With U.S. sailors dead in a likely terrorist attack on a Navy ship in the Persian Gulf and Israel bombing Palestinian headquarters in retaliation for a Palestinian lynching of Israeli soldiers (and with Iraq threatening to suspend crude production in some wacky euro-support blackmail scheme and Venezuela mired in oil-labor troubles) there was only one commodity scarcer than confidence Thursday, and that was black gold...

He kept talking back to his teachers, again and again, and landed in the "boma," a crude, isolated group of tents surrounded by thornbushes that Baraka used for punishment. For smaller matters like swearing or sleeping in class, discipline worked on a point system. Staying out of trouble earned students safaris, video nights and trips to the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, three hours south of the school...
