"A hapless comedy that already seems about ten years out of date" | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"'Be Cool' is not really cool as 'Get Shorty' was, but it's entertaining, a frivolous cocktail rather than a vintage wine." | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Like the characters, the scenes pile up but go nowhere; the story seems fragmented, the actors unmotivated" | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"A forced and wholly unnecessary sequel" | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"Despite a cast and production that seem to promise one of the year's first movies of any note, Cool never translates its promo-photo flashiness into authenticity on screen. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" | NEU |

United States |
|
"Considered as a sequel, 'Be Cool' is not an insult, but it’s a lazy, rhythmless, and redundant piece of moviemaking" | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"'Be Cool' more often evokes the image of a screenwriter furiously trying draft after draft to accommodate all the stars." | NEU |
United Kingdom |
|
"A poorly written, directed and acted imitation of the first. Not funny, not clever and, crucially, not cool" | NEG |
