[edit] Leon Phelps

Leon Phelps (the "Ladies Man") was a Saturday Night Live character played by Tim Meadows during the 1990s. The sketch was that of a broadcast program in which Phelps, a young, suave black man, would give dubious romantic advice and lovemaking tips.^[1] The Ladies Man openly proclaimed that he would court any woman at all, including skanks, providing the woman weighs no more than 250 pounds. A night of romance would generally center around a bottle of Courvoisier.

[edit] Critical reception

The film was heavily panned by critics, with only 11% of reviews being positive on the internet review website Rotten Tomatoes.^[2] Based on a sample of 65 reviews, the average score the film achieved was 3.1 out of a possible 10 by critics. The film achieved a slightly higher rating within the Rotten Tomatoes community, with 30% of reviews being positive.^[3]
