A really bizarre blend of comedy and brutal killing. I was truly not expecting the turn of events in the movie. However, it falls short of actually having any purpose besides showing off Liv Tyler. It has it's moments, but in the end it is just a forgettable comedy.

Despite the pretty good cast and acting, this movie about a love-and-murder story told from different points-of-view is only average at best. I expected more and was seriously disappointed.

A dark version of There's Something ABout Mary, where all the guys fancy the same girl. Except Liv uses this to her advantage to get what see wants. Good cast.

Liv Tyler doing her best Jessica Rabbit impersonation stars as a vampy femme fatale who beguiles every man she meets by spontaneously turning into a photo shoot from FHM magazine, and wackiness ensues. A promising cast fail to save what is essentially a film noir spoof that unfor... read more

This movie has some really great actors and some really funny scenes. There is no denying that Liv Tyler looks extremely hot in this movie. I liked this movie because its not much like the other movies I'm used to watch and I'm also a huge fan of both Liv Tyler and Matt Dillon, b... read more

It gets three stars only because of how hot Liv Tyler is, not because it's a good comedy.

A little disjointed but smart and funny. Douglas is brilliant but disturbing. Tyler is outstanding. A weird and black comedy.
Critic Reviews
Feels like a needless, thankless, charmless shout-out to the '80s rock video. Full Review
It eventually loses its concentration and ultimately falls apart. Full Review
There isn't much to McCool's that couldn't be found in an adult magazine.
Straining for a sense that a good time was had by all. Full Review
Sourly unsexy and vulgar.
Proceeds from a premise that's as simplistic as a seventh-grade gym class joke.
[The filmmakers are] more concerned with marketing strategies and with seeming hip than in making a comedy with integrity. Full Review
Moviedom needs Zwart about as much as the world needs another phallic gag about hot dogs.
What few laughs it does manage to eke out hardly seem worth all the effort.
