Summary: FOXY LADY IS ON THE JOB !
Review: It was one of the cutest flicks I've seen lately.They should shoot a sequel to this.
Our big-time seductive lady(Liv Tyler) has all the ability to turn on any man she wants.But at the same time she's a coldblooded killer beauty queen-floozy indeed-a real murderer and can be ruthless on many occasions.And the rest is damn jolly good-and odd !
Her charm makes The Detective (John Goodmann) don bikers cop uniform in which he looks enormously funny.And no need the mention that Liv's waayyy tooo hot in this movie-beware! she can also seduce the male viewers!

Summary: Delightful
Review: Ralph Fiennes was tormented by his love for her in Onegin.Italian men were completely captivated by her in Stealing Beauty, even Kate Hudson walked out on her husband to be on her wedding day for her in Dr T and The Women, Liv Tyler is one of the most beautiful women ever.
In One Night At McCools, she plays the most charming femme fatale to grace the silver screen for a long while, in a delightful first English language feature by Norwegian director Harald Zwart.
No man can resist her heavenly beauty and her devilish charms..Not the gullible Matt Dillon,the chivalrous and religious John Goodman, the kinky and pretentious Paul Reiser, nor the cold and professional killer Michael Douglas..They are all consumed by this beauty and pay dearly for it, in what in my opinion is one the freshest and funniest film I have seen in a while.
The script is witty and the acting top class: John Goodman for once not going over the top,Matt Dillon showing great comic potential again after There is Something About Mary, and Richard Jenkins playing the priest and Goodmans's confessor is a great surprise and his scenes though short are great
There are very funny moments in this film, especially the very last scene, which although I will not spoil it, comes unexpected and is hilarious.
I highly recommend this film !!

Summary: Hilarious Black Comedy
Review: A tour-de-force performance by Paul Reiser, John Goodman, Matt Dillon, Michael Douglas, & last but not least, Liv Tyler (for her versatility). What happened when there was this vixen woman that came to your life and literally turning it upside down? This was what happened to all the guys mentioned. One was a lawyer, another a bartender, another a policeman, and last but not least, an assassin. Viewers were given flashbacks of how the male characters' lives were manipulated by the vixen so as to serve her purpose, & somehow or rather, their lives crossed path. Along the way, people were murdered, possessions got stolen, the guilty was out on the loose, people dressed in "Village People" outfits running around, etc. Naturally, there was this climatic showdown where there was going to be a resolve. A very satisfying ending. An intelligent comedy with a tight script. Highly recommended.

Summary: A night to remember
Review: What happens when you mix together a con man, a con man's twin brother, a bartender,a shrink, a hit-man, a priest, a cop, 2 lawyers and a sultry siren? Well, the result will be something like ONE NIGHT AT McCOOL's. As with any mixed drink of this sort, you may not get what you expect, but you'll leave the bar happy.If ever there were such a thing as a dark romantic comedy, this would be it. If you think you're getting another couples-friendly run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, you're wrong. Whether that is good or bad depends on the viewer. The movie features an all-star cast that includes Matt Dillon, Michael Douglas, Paul Reiser and John Goodman. However, the performance that carries the film is that of Liv Tyler as the gorgeous femme fatal who is bad news for everyone. Not only does she possess the physical assets to pull off the part, but she is a bona-fide good actress on top of that. The car wash scene by itself is worth the modest price of the DVD. The best reason to buy this flick is that it is utterly hilarious. The way it hits on every man's fantasy will be appealing to male viewers, while the fact that it at the same time mocks these fantasies will be something women will find amusing. The film finds humor in rather bizarre situations, but it will nonetheless leave you in stitches. So, with this in mind, go out and spend a night at McCool's. Stick around awhile and enjoy your drink - it all goes down smooth. Then at the end of the night, click your feet three times and say "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home." And, by the way, home is where the DVD is...

Summary: Profoundly funny, sexy and exciting ! whacky but very funny
Review: Ok, for anyone who has watched this film and didnt find it funny, clever or sexy, well then you DO need some kind of therapy. Tyler plays the best role of her career, the film is shot wonderfully, great lighting, camera angles and direction. Some wonderfull performance by all the cast, the film is profoundly funny, similar to Coen films, like the big lebowski, there are no 'silly' scenes, its all black adult humour. I wasn't expecting a great movie, but it was, I can say it was one of the funniest and entertaining movies Ive ever seen. I'm actually very concerned that there are people out there that didnt 'get' the humour of this film ! IT just makes you wonder at what kind of people are out there. I'm sorry but when you watch one of the cleverest, funniest, sexiest, provokative films ever, and then write a review saying 'bad movie' then something is very very wrong. and it aint the film. watch it and enjoy it.

Summary: McCool's is one very UNcool movie
Review: Three men (one of whom is a cop) each have an encounter with a sexy woman named Jewel (Tyler) in a bar named McCools, and then recount their experiences to each other- not knowing that it is the same girl, who also has a knack for theft and sets about ripping them off with the aid of her hairy, tattooed, mulleted partner in crime. Jewel's second favourite thing in the world is water. Numero Uno is, not surprisingly; doing the WILD THANG!! The motives of the men (played by John Goodman, Matt Dillon and Paul Reiser) for pursuing Jewel are varied. See if you can match up the reason with the actor. 1 guy is a cop and knows she's a thief, another is in it for the nookie and the last guy worships the ground Jewel walks on, sad fool that he is. You don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure it out. Despite a good cast ONE NIGHT AT McCOOLS is very repetitive and tiresome, which is sad, because Michael Douglas is excellent as usual and also co-produced the movie. As for Liv Tyler, she has never been hotter, but she keeps her bra on during the sex scenes. I hate that. It's totally unrealistic. Her dress is so tight it's amazing that her boobs don't pop out. And this movie is so predictable and obvious that it's unbelievable that the viewer's brain doesn't start leaking out of his/her ears. But unlike Liv, we don't all have access to prosthetic LOTR elf ears to keep the fluid inside our heads. Oh well...

Summary: another comedy falls flat
Review: This is another comedy that just doesn't seem to work. It could have been good. Good idea, great group of actors. It's the writing where it fell short. The jokes are juvenile and they fall short. The plot holes are huge. It just isn't funny. I finished watching it, just out of curiousity, but it really isn't worth the time.

Summary: Don't have excessive expectations and you'll be fine
Review: It is difficult to agree with irate comments by some reviewrs who seemed to have expected a dramatic revelation. Come on, you see a poster of DVD sleeve displaying Liv Tyler washing a car in a tight-fitting dress, foam and all that - what do you think you are going to see? It is a comedy, for goodness sake! Cut them some slack, be a bit more realistic in what you hope to be watching and I promise you'll have a good time. NOTE: If drooling at unspeakable beauty of Liv Tyler is your thing, then you will have an absolutely turbo-charged fantastic time and don't bother renting because you're going to buy this anyway. The makers of this film could have done much, much worse. When you have Liv Tyler, you could just show her for 90 minutes reading newspaper, ironing clothes or walking around and hundreds of thousands of males would watch this happily time after time. Well, they have done much more than that. The plot is good, dialogue is strong (although comedy charge is at times flagging), and actors are really pulling their weight. Michael Douglas, who has a tiny role in this film, is exceptionally good and frankly this is his best appearance since Wall Street. I liked this movie. It is no cinematic ground-breaker and perhaps too humble a vehicle for obviously maturing talent of Liv Tyler, but nevertheless very, very enjoyable.

Summary: This ... A Comedy?
Review: MCCOOL'S establishes that not only is Ms. Liv Tyler a talented actress but also she's appealingly shapely. Beyond that, this highly-contrived noir-like comedy fails at every expectation it sets. John Goodman and Paul Reiser -- largely likeable and funny actors -- are wasted in physical comedy situations where lesser actors might've achieved. The long-mediocre Matt Dillon is, again, long on mediocrity. Michael Douglas (also showing producer duties here) makes the most on his small role, but even that isn't enough to rescue MCCOOL'S from sheer duldrums. Also, the film's relatively bloody climax doesn't fit with the established mood of the picture ... namely, a comedy ... and not a dark one, at that.
