ONE NIGHT AT McCOOL'S

2001

Matt Dillon, Liv Tyler, Paul Reiser, John Goodman and Michael Douglas make up the talented cast of this black comedy about the havoc one unstable, materialistic, beautiful woman can bring on a group of men's lives. Only one problem- its just not funny. The story putts along almost putting you to sleep and then explodes into this completely absurd Tarantino-esque shootout. Anything even remotely funny about this movie you've probably already seen in the trailer. The film relies on the eccentricities of its characters to get laughs, but it doesn't really work. With the exception of Douglas' hair, they're just annoying. I got one big laugh from this entire film. No kidding, one big laugh. Don't waste your time or money.
