Back of the Box:
    Tomcats is the outrageously hilarious and sexy comedy about hooking up, hanging out and trying to stay single.
    Vowing never to get married, six buddies contribute $1,000 each into a mutual fund with the agreement that the last single man gets it all. Seven years later, there are only two bachelors left - Michael (Jerry O'Connell) and Kyle (Jake Busey) and the kitty has grown to a half a million dollars. Desperate to pay off a huge gambling debt, Michael plots to get Kyle married by tracking down super-sexy Natalie (American Pie's Shannon Elizabeth), "the lost love of Kyle's life". Through a little creative intervention involving a dominatrix librarian, a Las Vegas mobster, and a quick trip to a sperm bank, Michael and Natalie scheme to trick Kyle into unholy matrimony and split the money. But when Michael finds himself falling for Natalie, the dash for the cash takes a wild turn in this raucous laugh-fest!

Notes:

• This film can be seen in the movie Anger Management, it is the movie that Jack Nicholson watches on the plane in the opening scene.
• The writer/director of this film, Gregory Poirier, came up with the idea for this movie when he overheard some college guys talking about putting money in a kitty every year until everyone got married, the last person single gets all of the money. He used that as a base and sort of built the movie around that idea.
• Look for an uncredited appearance from Bill Maher as Carlos the Las Vegas gangster.
• Also look for a very young Dakota Fanning in her debut performance as a little girl in the park, she was only 7 years old at the time.
• Look for Joseph Reitman, Shannon Elizabeth's recently announced ex-husband having a small role as the man with a carrot fetish. He can also be seen in 2 other of Shannon's movies: American Pie 2 and Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back.
• While this is not the first or last movie to be written by Gregory Poirier, it remains the only movie he has directed, at least through 2005.
