The Ladies Man (R, 2000)
common sense media says
Dumb -- SNL skits don't work as movies.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this movie gets a well-deserved R rating for frequent and explicit sexual references. Though intended to be comic, Leon's behavior is foolish, risky, hurtful, and exploitive. It may be an odd sign of progress in race relations that a movie like this can include a comic scene of a potential lynching, but it still may strike some viewers as uncomfortably insensitive to the tragic evidence of past racism.
Violence:
Comic peril.
Sex:
Many sexual references and situations.
Language:
Strong language.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
A lot of drinking, scenes in bar.

austin powers-like humor, but more explicit language
The joke is that the ladies' man is so tasteless, and such a womanizer that he is ridiculous. It certainly doesn't glamorize random sex and trashy talk, instead, the protagnist becomes more successful when he finds true love himself and helps others. There was no nudity that I recall, just a lot of bad language to generate the R rating.
