- "One Night at McCool's"
(Reviewed February 7, 2001)
- Okay, maybe this qualifies as a guilty pleasure, but what can I say -- I likes what I likes.
This is a kind-of cheap, kind-of dumb comedy about a slutty-dumb knockout (Liv Tyler, who never has looked better) who manages to frustrate and fascinate Paul Reiser, Matt Dillon and John Goodman -- each of whom has his own version of events that end up affecting all of them. It's no cinematic masterpiece, and it takes a while to get going, but it ends up being so darn likable that you can't help smiling.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that Liv Tyler has scenes involving washing a car in a diaphanous purple dress, simulating a lesbian seduction, and getting lots of (fully clothed, unfortunately) mattress action. No nudity, but hey, you can't have everything.
