Product Description
Starring an unbelievably hip all-star cast, including John Travolta, Uma Thurman, André 3000, Steven Tyler and The Rock, and bursting with the hottest music in the biz, Be Cool is the wildly hilarious tale about a gangster turned music mogul and what it takes to be number one with a bullet. When Chili Palmer (Travolta) decides to try his hand in the music industry, he romances thesultry widow (Thurman) of a recently whacked music exec, poaches a hot young singer (Christina Milian) from a rival label and discovers that the record industry is packin' a whole lot more than a tune!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2025This was a Good Movie. I LIKE the Actors/Acting. I only LIKE John Travolta as an Actor Though. I Don’t LIKE That He Believes in That Scientology Crud!!!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2024Packed as new, disk is intact. Already watched the movie, so happy :)
- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2024A star studded cast that made me laugh throughout the movie. Check it out, it is well worth it.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2022It's more of a soap opera than a movie at this point.
We got tons of cameos and follow up scenes from much deeper movies that all arrive in this movie like a leftover bottle of champagne found by the kids after all the parents went to sleep it off.
Try to not compare it to its predecessors and enjoy each scene for what it brings.
Seeing Dwayne Johnson's performance was glitter on cheesecake. You can't look away but also afraid to take a bite.
Never thought I'd see Uma and John T. together again yet they're like two peas in a pod floating down the rapids of age laughing as they go.
It's not a movie that will blow your socks off and yet I'm glad they made it b/c I imagine how much fun they had making it and it shows the way their characters play off each other. Their wardrobe(s), their cars (and Johns again), and even the over generalizations that might be cliche in some movies work well in this one.
I'm only giving it 4 stars b/c imo they ruined the f-word scene up.... imo Johns line should've just said it and omitted the politely edited part b/c his character (Chili Palmer) doesn't pull punches or enjoy small talk.
Overall it's a nice addition, a good movie that probably cost more money than it made and hopefully is a stepping stone for the unsung heroes and those who aren't stars yet and are on their way.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2023This was such a fun movie, jam packed with all kinds of entertainers. Actors, comedians, singers etc. Don't pay attention to the nay sayers and negativity. You'll enjoy it! And a chance to hear and see Aerosmith.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2021I'd never seen Get Shorty before, and this movie was the sequel, so I rented Get Shorty - liked it a lot! - then watched this one and it's a very pale imitation of the first movie with some very irritating additions. Vince Vaughan has a running gag where he's supposed to be a white guy trying to be hip to da 'hood, and yeah, I get the gag but it would've worked better if he was a bit more over the top AND if they gave him a LOT fewer lines - he seemed to just go on forever and I wanted to fast-forward through his irritating monologues. The singer girl that everybody was gushing over - c'mon, that was so Disney Channel. I liked the other "characters" in the movie, which was what made the first movie enjoyable, and I'd probably watch this again since I liked the first movie, but without that, this would be very forgettable.

- Mel-loves a good deal 😊Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars we find this one of the funniest movies andwatch it at least half a dozen times a year
Ok, so this is an old film and on the web, gets mixed reviews and we cannot understand why, we find this one of the funniest movies and watch it at least half a dozen times a year, this really is hilarious, something light, slapstick and entertaining, I can't help but be biased as Mr Travolta is just wonderful.
- Anthony Kirby,Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars A really great comedic look at the film industry
As Chilly Palmer John Travolta is at his comedic best . He's aided and abetted by Gene Hackman and Rene Russo . In a recent Guardian Newspaper article Danny de Vito spoke about the making of the film which he also produced. It's in fact the most successful of Elmore Leonard adopted novels to date . A modern satiric classic .

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo
Sequel anche più carino del primo film in cui Travolta interpreta il ruolo di un ex intrallazzatore in affari poco puliti, con l'amore per la musica e Uma Thurman, davvero spassoso!
