Member Movie Reviews Jefferson N. from BLAIRSVILLE, GA Reviewed on 11/30/2011... One Night At McCool's is a dark comedy starring Liv Tyler as a sexy woman who comes into the life of a bartender played by Matt Dillon. She drags him into a life of crime and murder and before you know it, he's a wanted man. He hires a hitman played by Kirk Douglas to help him try to take her out before she takes him out. Because she is also playing a lawyer (Paul Reiser) and a cop (John Goodman). Can Matt get out with his life, or will he be just another victim in Liv's quest for a good DVD player? This is a crazy movie full of laughs and psychotic humor (and some very sexy scenes with Liv Tyler). While it's not the best comedy/thriller you'll ever see, it's sure not the worst, either. It's definently good for a watch. If you're a fan of Striptease or Wild Things, you'll probably like it. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful. William G. (longslide10) from CALHOUN, GA Reviewed on 5/23/2008... This isn't exactly my kind of movie but the ending will blow you away! You'll back up and watch it over and over. It's worth a watch just to see the ending. 3 of 3 member(s) found this review helpful.
Movie ReviewsYou like water? C. CRADDOCK | Bakersfield | 01/28/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "One Night at McCool's is a dark comedy that is pretty darn entertaining. Maybe it is just one long set up for a Village People gag, but it's fun to stay at the YMCA. They have assembled a very interesting cast, and everyone contributes, making the whole equal to more than the sum of its parts. The story is told like a Faulkner novel, from multiple viewpoints. It's Rashamon Time, as Randy the bartender (Matt Dillon); his cousin, the lawyer Carl Harding (Paul Reiser); and grieving widower Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all tell different versions of the events that happened One Night at McCool's. Each of the men have someone to tell their story to: Carl tells Dr. Green (Reba McEntire), Dehling tells Father Jimmy (Richard Jenkins), and Randy tells Mr. Burmeister (Michael Douglas), the hitman he has hired to take care of his "problem."
Randy's problem is Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler), the woman he encountered One Night at McCool's. She has driven him, along with Carl and Detective Dehling, stark raving crazy. All she really wants is to have a nice house full of nice furniture and things, but what won't she do to get them? Or, what won't she make the men do? Liv Tyler is well cast as a woman with the the power to drive men wild. She has a certain charisma, but at the same time she's kind of a dork. See Stealing Beauty for further evidence of her beautiful brand of dorkiness. Paul Reiser was best known for the sit com, "Mad About You," but One Night at McCool's gives him the opportunity to stretch his comedic envelope. Richard Jenkins, as Father Jimmy, turns in yet another brilliant character actor turn. He has finally gotten some recognition with an Oscar nomination for "The Visitor." As the lead, not supporting, Jack. John Goodman is a good man, Matt Dillon is always willin' to go that extra mile, and Michael Douglas is a hit as the hitman. And did I mention Andrew 'Dice' Clay in not one but two roles? Fugedaboutit! Four cast members have appeared in films with Kevin Bacon. All this, and the best use of a snowglobe as metaphor since Citizen Kane? Death Sentence (Unrated Edition) (2007) .... John Goodman was Bones Darley (with Kevin Bacon) The Visitor (2007/I) .... Richard Jenkins was Prof. Walter Vale Loverboy (2005) .... Matt Dillon was Mark (with Kevin Bacon) Wild Things (Unrated Edition) (1998) .... Matt Dillon was Sam Lombardo (with Kevin Bacon) The Big Lebowski - 10th Anniversary Edition (1998) .... John Goodman was Walter Sobchak Stealing Beauty (1996) .... Liv Tyler was Lucy Harmon Falling Down (1993) .... Michael Douglas was William 'D-Fens' Foster Tremors (1990) .... Reba McEntire was Heather Gummer (with Kevin Bacon) Pretty in Pink (1986) .... Andrew 'Dice' Clay was Bouncer at CATS Diner (1982) .... Paul Reiser was Modell (with Kevin Bacon)" |
