Best Feature - Palm Beach International Film Festival

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.
