Summary: It Happened.
Review: One night at McCool's was a pretty good show. I definately expect to see more from Harald Zwart in the future, but on to the movie.Everyone wants to be with Liv Tyler's character, Jewel (subtle, I know). In the beginning of the film three characters, Randy (Matt Dillon), Carl (Paul Reiser), and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), describe basically the same events surrounding how they met Jewel and how it has changed their lives. "It all started one night at McCool's," they all begin, Randy to a hitman (Michael Douglas), Paul to a shrink (Reba McEntire), and Detective Dehling to a priest (Richard Jenkins). These stories will all lead (with some bizarre subplots along the way) to the present where the wacky film concludes. This movie is a little different because it tells the same story from three different perspectives. And they really are different. Each character sees Jewel in a different way. Randy likes her because she sort of reminds him of his mother, Carl likes her because he sees her as this sex kitten, a contrast to his rather dull suberban life, and Detective Dehling sees her as a reincarnation of his deceased wife. Equally funny is each man's perspective on each other. I think this film works. Especially if it is taken for what it is. A light, quirky comedy. The audience is never given the true motivation of the film's catalyst, Jewel. Her character is only presented through the eyes of the other characters until the very end, so it is hard to gain a true sense of her being. This sort of ambiguity was well played by Tyler. The other performances were also fun. Michael Douglas really tripped me out, he does not normally play characters like this. One Night at McCool's, not bad. I would recommend for people looking to laugh at some good actors in some silly roles. Other than that, well...

Summary: Slicker than your average poppa
Review: I remember the previews on T.V. when this movie was released and thinking "Wow, Liv Tyler is hot!". 3 years later I finally get round to watching the movie and discover that Liv Tyler is indeed very hot. However there's much more to this little movie than Liv Tyler's hotness. The movie retells the same story from 3 different points of view, the bartender, the banker and the cop. Each of these stories is slightly different with an enjoyable and entertaining subtlety that really doesn't come across in the preview that concentrates on Liv Tyler washing a car. The subtlety gets kinds lost at the end (losing the movie a star IMHO) but the set up and concept are intelligent enough, and the follow through done well enough that I'd even apply the rarefied term "Coen-esque" to the project. Top marks all around, I'd suggest buying over renting, as one picks up on more details the second time around. And besides, Liv Tyler is really hot!

Summary: what a waste of my time
Review: i have to say that this film was so awful that i simply had to tell someone about it. i was so appalled by this film that i felt confused when it had finished. this is meant to be a comedy? the only stand out joke was the village people sequence, but other than that i thought it was just a nearly-film. it could've been funny, but wasn't. i think it was just an excuse for liv tyler to prance about in short skirts and tight tops. exciting as some may find this, it is certainly not enough to save one of the most dismally awful films i have ever seen.

Summary: Very Funny Night's Viewing with many LOL moments
Review: I found this film a really good night's entertainment and found myself LOL frequently. It was a welcome diversion after a hard day's work. Hands down, Michael Douglas is the funniest person in the film. I have to give him enormous credit for letting himself be made over cosmetically into the most ridiculous looking guy you've ever met with full pompadour hairdo. But there are many other solid performances too. Liv Tyler does a really good job as the beautiful bombshell who comes into men's lives as their dream pick-up only to turn their lives upside down. In fact, contact with her may make you end up dead as she has a way of waltzing into troublesome, dangerous situations. It was great seeing Matt Dillon for a change playing a role where he is the one totally out of control in the hands of the wrong woman. Paul Reiser as Dillon's lawyer cousin who wants Tyler as his dominatrix is very funny too and his solo scene at the end of the movie had me doubled over with laughter. John Goodman, however, is too much over the top as is Andrew Dice Clay. Their roles are almost cartoon-like they are so broad. Tyler is proving herself very well as an actress. I thought she was wonderful in "Onegin" with Ralph Fiennes and she shows real talent here as well.

Summary: An entetaining black comedy.
Review: Mc Cool`s bar was just jumping that night. Randy (Matt Dillon) worked there. His cousin lawyer Carl (Paul Raiser) was there until past closing. Detective Dehling (John Goodman) got there once the bar become a crime scene. Was it the dead body (Andrew Dice Clay) that tied these man together? Not as tightly as the live were who was also there that night. An stunning young woman aptly named Jewel (Liv Tyler). Now Randy wants his life back, by hiring a Hit-Man (Two Time Oscar-Winner:Micheal Douglas). DVD`s has an clear anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer and an fine Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. Included:An running commentary cast by the Director:Harold Zwart and Cast, Deleted Scenes, Different Ending and more. Good comic performances from the cast. An underrated comic gem. Grade:B+.

Summary: Women, you can't LIVE with them and you can't live WITH them
Review: *One Night At McCool's* Liv Tyler is fantastic, in fact, every one is fantastic in this. Matt Dillon, John Goodman, Paul Reiser, Michael Douglas, etc. A great cast indeed.
Now tell me, what guy hasn't been hypnotized or smittened by at least one woman in his life? I mean there's something about a woman that has this power over a man and, if she knows how to use that power, things could get awfully wild. I laughed at the realism in this movie. The chain of events are hauntingly familiar, except for the murder and the breaking & entry scenes, but as for the doing anything she wanted and anything she asks for...God help us all, men, when a women uses their full potential against us.
If you want a great comedy with some harsh realism, pick this one up. It won't disappoint. Women, they're wickedly LOVEABLE!

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: One Night at McCool's explores the different worlds and perspectives of three men attracted to Liv Tyler's character, Jewel. Their different views of her (and each other) are incredibly funny. The end is an unexpected twist that is memorable. Even my niece who hates everything had to have this movie!

Summary: Situation comedy with laughs and there are plenty where ....
Review: Situation comedy with laughs and there are plenty where it came from. Michael Douglas is hilarious at his role here! I've never seen Michael Douglas in such an uproareously, yet sutle, comedic role in his long serious acting career! And John Goodman..O Dear John! You gotta see him in this role... Liz Tyler gives her best comedic performance and it works just fine in this role.
