From some the US' most reknowned comic minds comes this
very unsound but very, very funny film about attaining the
unattainable.
Part comic book, part romantic comedy and part Ferris
Buller's Day Off, this off kilter nugget looks at the
world of Ted Davis - self confessed scoring machine and king
of the little black book. Gifted with womanising powers not
available to mortal men, he looks on himself very much as
super-hero incarnate, Bachelorman
Along with his group of likable but sleazy chums Ted is as
"a slut of the worst kind" as described by his only true
female friend. That is until he meets Heather, a phone sex
worker who moves in next door. From that moment on, Ted's life
takes a decided turn for the romantic but not without his own
internal struggles.
The gags come thick and fast in this number as Ted
continually lets us in on his favourite bachelor tips by
addressing the audience directly. In fact
Bachelorman is constantly jolting us out of our
passive viewing experience as Ted let's us in to every dirty,
sleazy and low-down trick in the book - the sad thing is that
it's all so true!
Bachelorman does not pretend to be anything
it's not. It is however a really, really funny movie.
