I saw Be Cool last night. I’d call it a Cable Movie (3 out of 5).
From the Uma and Tavolta pair up to Cedric’s russian-killing monologue, so many parts of this movie were a blatant rip-off of Pulp Fiction that just didn’t work that well.
It had its good parts though, the Rock was pretty funny making fun of himself (probably the best part of the movie). It takes a good sense of humor to laugh at yourself like that. Cedric the Entertainer was okay, as was Vince Vaughn. The biggest disappointment was Travolta. His character seemed to only exist to glue together parts of the plot, not a good thing for the main character.

That looks like a suckfest to me. I hate all those movies with 100+ plus cast memebers and there is like 50 different plots going on.
Plus, the title of the film is telling me to do something, “Be cool”. Stop with your demands already movie, I am cool.

Yea, and they use the title way too many times throughout the movie. Like I said, it wasn’t good. Just cable status.
I agree with the big casts. Too many big actors just leaves a movie with people trying to overwhelm each other.
