Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Ted (David DeLuise) is a television executive who finds and promotes offbeat programs. Away from his job, he is such a confirmed "unmarried" gentleman that he has developed a super-hero type persona among his circle of friends. That is, he is "Bachelor Man", one who conquers any available woman with his pick-up lines, charm, good looks, and psychological assessments. As of late, nevertheless, the beautiful woman who resides in the apartment next door, Heather (Missy Pyle) has been putting a crimp in his style. It seems she has as many romantic encounters as he does and her exclamations of ecstasy reverberate through the walls, chasing Ted's dates away, due to lack of privacy. But, no matter what Ted does, Heather doesn't seem to give him the time of day. Naturally, Ted sees this as the ultimate challenge and he becomes obsessed with taking Heather out on a date, so much so that even his work begins to suffer. Lo and behold, Ted starts to make some progress in his pursuit and a few secrets come to light as well. First, Heather may not be getting all of the "action" it seems she is and, more importantly, she may have been recently jilted, accounting for her cold attitude toward love. Then, too, Ted is surprised to actually find himself "falling" for her beauty and personality. Are his bachelor man days about to end? This is quite a funny film but very adult in nature, making it unsuitable for the under 18 crowd. The cast is wonderful, with DeLuise a total delight. Why hasn't he surfaced in other films and television shows? He is one good looking and comical performer. Pyle, too, is great as the woman with brains and beauty and the lesser cast members, especially the couple playing Ted's parents, are also very entertaining. Although the production was probably one with a lesser budget, the costumes, sets and camera work are quite acceptable while the direction is lively and the script is extremely inventive and humorous. As such, betcha Bachelor Man will make you laugh. Why not give it whirl next time you visit the usual DVD providers?

At first I thought this was going to be a romantic comedy, or maybe a sexy kind of chasing around film. Instead, there were moms with vibrators, old ladies in diapers being stripped down, a moose that shits aphrodisiac candy, a baby that tries to crawl INTO it's mom, tons of blow jobs, a giant penis and tons of guys and girls getting laid.It's about time. I laughed for 90 minutes. David DeLuise is the perfect BachelorMan. There is no downtime in this movie, except for the three or four scenes where he comes up from under the covers to take a breath.Viva BachelorMan

...but can I have some?I scored a screener from a friend, and watched it one night when I had nothing better to do. I guess the movie's not actually awful, but it's about as funny as a sprained ankle. It starts out promisingly enough, with some easy (but still funny) sex jokes, but quickly loses its spirit and just gets dumb.Deluise is likable enough, and tries his best to work the hammy script, but the troll who played his friend just drags the movie down. (I see here he's a writer/producer on the film, so I guess that explains the casting.) The actress who plays Heather (recognized her from Galaxy Quest) is sexy and intriguing, but isn't given much of a character to develop. Which, I suppose, is typical of the way this movie sees women. The casting of the network suits was decent though, and I appreciated the attempts to mix up the usual romantic comedy standards with effects and animation, but the movie just falls too flat.I have to wonder, having seen this with my own eyes: Were the other people reviewing this movie just really lacking in critical skills, or do they have some sort of vested interest in stirring up interest in this movie?Either way, I give this a thumbs down. 1 and a half stars out of five. I recommend the Tao of Steve for people looking for a funny indie comedy about relationships.

Great movie! Extremely entertaining! The use of the "Bachelor Dating Tips" is hysterical and very effective. This is THE movie to see for anyone who has been a bachelor, yet this is not a "guy" movie. Ironically, this is a great date movie which points out the flaws and devices used in modern dating technique (but it is also really entertaining!) The humor lies in the truthful observations of "Ted", played by David DeLuise. Overall a really fun movie!
