This 2001 flick starring Liv Tyler, Michael Douglas, Matt Dillon, John Goodman, Reba McEntire and Paul Reiser wasn’t a script written far out of the ordinary; but the acting, entertainment and laughter was something I didn’t automatically expect. Written by Stan Seidel and directed by Harald Zwart this comedy/action I would say kept me chuckling and excited throughout. Incredibly sexy ladies seducing men to get what they want as I mentioned before is pretty average but heavy action sequences and crime investigations quite an odd mix; still ‘One Night at McCools’ had the recipe for success!
From bartender, to lawyer to detective, Jewel played by Liv Tyler, played them all; she knew what they wanted and they were under her thrilling spell. She was anything but a jewel; and was out to get a house with a DVD and a Fountain; she didn’t care who or what she had to do or dispose of to get it!
A light, yet absurdly enjoyable story it shows the audience the dangers of becoming duped in love and also the lengths other’s would do to achieve the material things they want. The series of events I wouldn’t wish on anyone; but it was all quite funny to see it play out. It’s interesting also to see how one story could be told in so many different ways; reminding us that there is always 2 sides to a story and things are never as they appear to be.
