90The smartest, funniest, most cleverly structured comedy of the year.
-
80I took it as a pretty piece of ephemera, and I must confess that I laughed a lot.
-
80Fun, if you're inclined toward cynicism, contempt, nihilism and cool stuff like that.
-
80First-time feature director Harald Zwart has a real flair for farce, and he keeps the outrageous high jinks of the script lively yet grounded in reality.
-
75Suggests a raunchier, cruder version of a Coen brothers comedy, but it's also a kind of honky-tonk "Rashomon."
-
It is a brisk and sometimes bizarre comedy; funny, yet able to accommodate several sudden deaths comfortably.
-
75A spirited, screwball crime-thriller with a sly heart.
-
63One Night at McCool's does not quite work, but it has a lot of fun being a near-miss.
-
63You may enjoy One Night -- but you may feel guilty about it in the morning.
-
63Neither as rollicking nor as wild as one had hoped, but Tyler's tongue-in-cheek noir goddess transcends cliche and the screenplay's other shortcomings terrifically.
-
60While this production from Michael Douglas is being touted as a sexy romantic comedy, it's more precise to think of it as big loud fun for when you're feelin' dumb.
-
50All so fast and frenetic.
-
50It might have all seemed hip and edgy 10 years ago, but today, it just feels tired.
-
50Zwart never gets the tone right in this very American comedy.
-
50A curious screwball "noir," doesn't so much bend established genres as blend them into an unappetizing cocktail, where they curdle before pouring.
-
50Goodman exudes doltish kindness, Dillon a hapless gentleness, Reiser a vulgar buoyancy. Douglas turns in the best performance.
-
50Never fully rises to the occasion, maintaining a goofily even keel throughout but rarely tipping over into all-out froth and nuttiness.
-
50Should have been a quick and dirty pulp tall tale. But it pokes along instead of accelerating, and though it isn't exactly smug it's rather too pleased with its own manufactured outrageousness.
-
50The drawback is Tyler, who lacks the vigor and energy her part requires in order to transcend charges of misogyny.
-
50Packs a lot into one night, but it's wearying. It's like a kid determined to show you every toy in his room, and there's nowhere to escape.
-
40As its plot is entirely negligible, whether or not you enjoy One Night at McCool's probably depends on how funny you think the performances are.
-
40Maybe such cloddish sight gags as dipsomaniac priest chug-a-lugging from the communion chalice or an apparently straight-laced yuppie in full S&M drag just aren't very funny.
-
40Tyler, a true beauty, gives the role a valiant try, but her range is too limited to play this amalgam of female perfection.
-
30Oblivious to its own towering obsolescence.
-
30One Night at McCool's is one night too much.
-
30Feels like a film from several years ago, one of the many made in the wake of "Pulp Fiction" that tried and failed to be as clever as its progenitor.
-
30The story, which is even dumber than it sounds, is told in flashback.
-
25Too bad you can see this sort of thing done more amusingly every week on ABC-TV and Comedy Central.
-
More than just dumb, the picture is embarrassingly dorky.
-
20Has its - very - occasionally funny moments, so does a car crash.
-
12A strong, early candidate for the worst movie of the year.
-
0A shamelessly dumb movie.
