	Grade: C+ | Genre: Comedy Summary: If you want laugh out loud gags, "Be Cool" is a good choice. If you're looking for something with a little more substance and dept, skip it and rent "Get Shorty."

Starring: John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Vince Vaughn, Cedric The Enterainer, Christina Milian, Andre 3000, and The Rock
Director: F. Gary Gray

Chili Palmer (Travolta) is back, cool as usual, still getting things done his way. Since "Get Shorty," the former shylock's been a movie producer who is now looking to get in the music business, but deep inside, he is still and always will be a shylock. He's smooth and very capable of getting what he wants, but if necessary, he is able to revert back to the Brooklyn street smarts that got him this far.

"Be Cool" is very aware of itself. It's a sequel that knows where it came from and doesn't shy away from referencing the original.
