Ever go to a movie all full of hope and come home with your mouth tasting like it was washed out with soap?
Well this one this "Be Cool" is one of those.
I call these movies "need the work and the money" movies because I can't imagine how John Trivolta and Uma Thurman would be caught within fifty miles of this "turkey" unless they just needed the work .Surly they don't need the cash? Well,.... big jets cost a lot to operate I suppose?
But anyway this sequel to a pretty good flick of over 10 years ago, "Get Shorty",.... should have been called "Way Shorty" because that is what it is way short of the mark. It isn't funny it isn't interesting it is trite, it is covered in every known stereo-type known to modern film and it is too long.
Other that that I liked it!!!!
Vince Vaughn while over the top in the too often repeated bits, was actually funny in a few areas.
Cedric "the entertainer" had a few moments and made a very on the mark statement about how the use of racial epithets just don't cut it any more any where!!! but I think the guy actually has some talent and clearly a brain I'd like some one to use it in a real movie some time!
Christine Milian is pretty and talented. More of her and less of a tired looking Uma Thurman well I like Uma but she must have needed the work.
Now to John Trivolta. Wow .he tries to pull off the Get Shorty thing but Chile Palmer was more like "Chilie Pie". He is not tough he is not smooth he is not anything he is a caricature of his previous performances and that only spells one of about three things to me. One he needed the cash the big jet and all and that is OK but have some real style and just say "hey it was an "el stinko" but it was an airplane note! Or two .He is delusional and thinks this really is good work or three the producers have a picture of him and a donkey and .well .you get the point. I am not telling anyone I saw this pile of goo but I'll do you all a favor and allow you to save $20 bucks and go eat a pizza instead. You'll like it a whole lot better.
