Story :

A giddy attempt to combine a standard film noir plot and a contemporary sex farce about men who (to quote John Hiatt's song) let their little heads do the thinking; One Night at McCool's is a promising comedy that never hits full speed; coasting along amiably enough before spiraling into violence that clashes with its trashy sensibility. It's not as polished as Grosse Pointe Blank; but it's fun enough to recommend; especially for those who drool at the sight of Liv Tyler. The movie begins by suggesting that Liv is sexy; then proceeds to prove it; and then continually insists upon it until you're left with no choice but to wholeheartedly agree. It's an easy choice; but pity the movie's wretched guys for making it.
As bombshell Jewell Valentine; Tyler lures three guys into her criminal scheme of happy homemaking. Bartender Matt Dillon's the first to take the bait; as Dillon's lawyer cousin; Paul Reiser can't resist; and when murder complicates everything; detective John Goodman employs his own love-struck brand of chivalry. Sporting a tacky pompadour; Michael Douglas steals the show as a hit man hired to whack the scheming sexpot--and Andrew Dice Clay is surprisingly funny in a dangerous dual role--but of course Liv can hold her own. It's all quite amusing; but rarely is McCool's as funny as you hope it will be; the dialogue by Stan Seidel (who sadly died before filming completed) is zesty enough but lacks the Coenesque punch that would kick it over the top. It hardly matters; though; with a femme fatale like Liv in control; the movie's faults will be easily forgiven. --Jeff Shannon
