As usual

the sequel stinks in comparison to the original, Get Shorty, but Be Cool did have one redeeming quality... Dwayne Johnson, aka the Rock. He was the only reason I ever went along to the pay per view events that my hubby's friends used to hold. I never appreciated just how amusing wrestling was like they did, but I certainly appreciated a bare-chested Rock ;)

I think you have to have a sense of humor to be a "professional" wrestler, but it's very obvious Dwayne has more than his share, lol. (You only have to watch the Hannah Montana episode where they stick dangling earrings on him and cake on the make up to see that) and of course there's his "music video" from Be Cool.


But aside from Dwayne, the movie stunk. I loved Get Shorty. It's one of my favorite movies. I loved the cast and the plot. Be Cool lost most of that cast and replaced them with other not so fun characters (Vince Vauhgn and Uma Thurman, ick.) and a really thin plot. Blech.
