Don't be cool.

After years of hearing good things about the movie Get Shorty, I noticed that a sequel was coming out, called Be Cool. As we had done for Resident Evil before, Cheryl and I got a copy of the original (Get Shorty) and watched that in preparation for seeing the sequel this weekend. Get Shorty was delightful. We chuckled all the way through it. Great writing, nice direction, funny stuff, great characters, good acting. So we much looked forward to seeing Be Cool the same afternoon.

An hour and a half into Be Cool, we left. Don't ask us how it ends. It was terrible. The only lines that weren't awful were stolen from Get Shorty, and that happened a lot. Cheryl said she wanted to see them dance, which was thankfully shortly after I asked her if she wanted to leave. The audience was strangely quiet through most of the movie, although the people to our left still seemed surprised when we departed.

I still like Get Shorty, and highly recommend it. Stay away from Be Cool.
