Be Cool

Not a bad movie, nothing spectacular, though. Enjoyable at parts but overall kind of dull.

Travolta's character wants out of the movie industry to get into the music biz. When his buddy is killed in a hit, Travolta takes over. Somehow some Russians, Cedric the Entertainer and Vince Vaughn all end up wanting him dead but all are killing each other.

This movie has some very funny parts. Vince Vaughn is always good though he gets a bit annoying. The Rock is awesome here. He's just so funny playing a gay bodygaurd/singer/actor. Uma is nothing in particular. Her part is just kind of blase. Travolta will probably go down like Shatner as another over-actor. While decent, at parts he's a bit melodramatic. The story has a few clever parts but it gets repetitive and drags on. Probably could have been shorter and been more enjoyable.

2.75 shrubs of 5. Slightly better than average. The funny saves it from being dreadful.
