Be Cool - be warned

Having very much enjoyed Get Shorty, my son and I saw its Be Cool "sequel" this past weekend. Don't make the same mistake we did. It is nothing like Get Shorty, which had a consistently witty tone, a delicate touch and a sure sense of what is "cool." Be Cool is painfully unamusing and a clueless insult to the original. The film is so preposterous that the actor known as the Rock is the only character who escapes with any dignity. Travolta, Keitel, Thurman et al should be praying that no one else sees this "Alan Smithee" special. Be afraid.
