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

 It all happened one night at McCool's July 29, 2006
It's a shame that not too many people seem to have heard of One Night at McCool's because it is just such a great, dark movie with a little romance and comedy woven in. Even more surprisingly, I found this fabulous film in my local Wal-Mart's $5.50 bin. Their low, low prices were my big, big DVD collection gain, as this is one movie I will never part with. The story revolves around 3 men's recounting of one night at McCool's, the local bar, where they each become smitten with a beautiful young woman named Jewel (Liv Tyler). But she's not as sweet and innocent as she looks. She knows how to play each of them to get exactly what she wants. Matt Dillon as the bartender, Paul Reiser as the lawyer and John Goodman as the cop all get in over their heads with Jewel. It's fun to watch this whole thing unfold before your eyes and the end includes a very interesting scene you definitely don't expect which makes this movie all the more fun. Great for those of us who hate sappy romantic flicks, this is perfect for those of us who can see right through that supposed love at first sight hooey. Absolutely recommended!
It's seems like all she wanted was just a silly DVD player. February 8, 2006

This film ended up being much more entertaining than I thought. The cast is great. Paul Reiser, John Goodman, Michael Douglas, Reba McEntire, and others. I've never cared much for Matt Dillon but this role for him worked pretty good here.
But, who really makes the film great was the gorgeous femme fatale, Liv Tyler. I've loved her in many films. She's got this natural trashy demeanor that is just so sexy. The kind of girl you'd hope to meet if you had to walk through some delapitated trailer park, and she happens to be sitting on her porch looking for any guy who just happens to walk by.
She's got such a convincing innocent look on her face while her intentions are devious as ever. That's the magic of this film's appeal. No one else could have played this part better than her. Well, maybe Marisa Tomei.
She ended up entering into the lives of three unsuspecting guys, and tears their heart's apart. Well, actually about six guys, but the main focus is on just the three. And all she wanted in the end was just a roof over her head, and a DVD player.
My new sharper imaging 32" LCD HDTV really helps add to the detailed appearance of how ugly and run-down Matt Dillon's old house looks on the outside. This contributes to putting some art into this film. Plus, Liv Tyler's trashy dresses throughout the film.
God, I wonder want she would do for a guy who would give her two DVD players.
 Great Cast-Mediocre Movie November 13, 2005

One Night at McCool's was a bit of a disappointment, considering the makeup of the cast: Matt Dillon, Liv Tyler (who is GORGEOUS!), and John Goodman among others; though by no means is it a terrible movie.
The acting is very good, the humor is good, and there's the originality of the script/story.
So it's an interesting plot, a good setting and a wonderful cast, and yet it fails to take off.
The potential for a great movie was definitely there.
In a nutshell, it's an ok movie and it will provide for an evening's entertainment, though that's about it; it lacks that extra something to put it over the top. No masterpiece here... 3 Stars
Good comedy! July 15, 2005

One Night at Mcool's is a movie that I really enjoyed and laughed throughout. Although it has been 1 year since I have seen it, I do remember really enjoying it and frankly, laughing my head off. The movie has a great cast with Liv Tyler, the awesome John Goodman, Michael Douglas and Matt Dillon. So, as you can see, it's got quite a cast. The movie's about a bombshell played by Liv Tyler that 3 men have fallen in love with. The bartender. The lawyer. The cop. But, she may be more than she seems and a dangerous lady that just screws over these 3 guys. And then comes the hitman hired to kill her. And then comes a crazy dude who seeks revenge. All comes into place, and this ends out being one hilarious and memorable movie that will have you begging for more. I'm a big John Goodman fan also so you know... I just loved.
Great cast. Great everything. This is a no brainer buy and will provide you with laughs forever and ever.
