Be Cool
"Be Cool" is the sequel to "Get Shorty". It pokes fun at itself, its actors, and everything L.A. John Travolta is back as the very cool Chili Palmer, a shyster who is giving up the movie business for the music industry. Uma Thurman reunites with Travolta on the dance floor. Vince Vaughn is hysterical as a white guy who thinks he is black (think Michael Jackson in reverse). The Rock (the former WWF wrestler) does a terrific send up of himself and his performing talents. Add to the mix, the Russian Mafia, some gangstas, a rock concert with Aerosmith, a music video shoot, the Staple Center, a few murders, and lots of cameos. If you liked "Get Shorty", you'll love "Be Cool". However, Alien didn't care for "Get Shorty" all that much, but thought "Be Cool" does have it moments.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "raised eyebrow" stars out of 4.
