Be Cool Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Watered-down sequel isn't meant for kids.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
I was really glad when it was over.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
One of the cuddliest, cutest movies you'll ever see about mobsters and murderers.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
You know a sequel isn't working when, ten minutes into the movie, a voice inside your head starts screaming, 'Please make it stop!'
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A messy, overlong film, but it's impossible to take seriously and therefore more than a little entertaining.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's a step down, a big one, on both fronts and neither does the kind of job here that could be construed as anything remotely their best.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
The movie feels more like a cavalcade of personalities than anything resembling a story.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
This bumbling exercise in redundant replication is as disagreeably lukewarm as a heavily trafficked municipal baby pool.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It's kind of -- hmmmm, less than good, a little better than not bad, almost all right, mediocre without being grating, sort of in the C-minus-to-C-minus-minus range.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
It can't decide if it's a comedy or a musical -- rocking ballads by Milian and a duet with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler are sweet interludes but ruinous to any sense of paced humor.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
There's really no need to pay much attention to the plot.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's instantly forgettable, but smooth fun most of the way.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Keeps wandering off on tangents, and after a while its audience does, too.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
The book's various thugs, pistol-waving gangstas and Russian mafia are so cartoonishly portrayed they're about as scary as members of the Wile E. Coyote Fan Club.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Utterly forgettable -- and, yes, utterly uncool.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
The movie lacks anything approaching a rhythm -- which, as everyone knows, is the record business' deadliest sin.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The film's one redeeming quality may be its eventual use as a thesis subject for some would-be Phd ('Be Cool: Deconstructing Hollywood at its Worst'). But that will be little consolation for anyone who wastes nine bucks on a ticket for this movie.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Nothing is more uncool than trying too hard.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
What was keenly ridiculous in print seems clueless and uncouth onscreen now. Gray embraces the inanities Leonard seemed to be lampooning.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
One character after another, one scene after another, one cute line of dialogue after another, refers to another movie, a similar character, a contrasting image, or whatever. The movie is like a bureaucrat who keeps sending you to another office.
