before i take a job a a reviewer and i never go to film like this and and thus remain blissfully unaware that at the soul of the hollywood film lie a deeply woman hat spirit that thrive on put it knocking little knee on the silver screen for all to either empathize with or revile . or be this just a particularly bad year . an ugly trend . here we have yet another seemingly sweet and innocent and beautiful woman turn lethal weapon . the kind that caution u that beneath every pair of bat eye and nest instinct lie a wild eyed beast guarantee to make everyone life within 50 mile a living hell . this month specimen be jewel valentine ( liv tyler ) and whose simple dream include have her own little house and a backyard fountain and and a mondo home entertainment system . unfortunately and randy ( matt dillon and in his first film in 3 year ) and the dim bulb bartender she pick up at mccool one night intend to rob and be less materially orient . the kind of guy who drink beer out of a toilet plunger and he prefer to hunker down in his dead mother house with few creature comfort save his snowglobe collection . in that same low rent bar and the devil in the red dress also bump into randy cousin and carl ( the highly amusing paul reiser ) and a lawyer with an ego the size of st. louis . when thing go south within hour and enter the widowed detective with a heart of gold ( john goodman ) . the result . three men sustain big and bad crush on the leopard clad progeny of steven tyler and bebe buell crush that make them do thing that common sense would normally contraindicate . like get involve in the first place . multiple point of view and flashback patch together the front page news about how easy it be to fall victim to one libido and especially if youre male . a each of these men relate his perspective to a confidant and his desire to possess the jewel color the ` truth of the situation . about 70 minute later and thing come together in a reasonably amusing way . but it amusement from the same source that tell you that the stuff on the popcorn actually taste like butter . mccools be the first film by norwegian commercial and music video director harald zwart and and his pedigree be clear during some of the fantasy segment and include one about a car wash and soap and a hose that you can probably extrapolate . it also the debut project from the production company own by michael douglas and who find his niche a a toupeed sleezeball in a bingo parlor . dillon and tyler be unlikely to win any gold statue for this one and though give the one dimensionality of their overdone film noir type character and you can not really fault them . several minor role drag out unexpected guest reba mcentire play carl psychiatrist and and andrew dice clay double a both the hoodlum utah and his even scary brother . ( finally and an outlet for all that aggression . ) this film unwittingly speak volume about the dynamic between men and woman or men and their mommy . but ultimately you would probably find more lasting psychological truth in a bug bunny episode . i will say that it good and funny and more sophisticated than other recent gem like tomcat and but should we really have to choose what to see base on what rank low on the misogynism scale .
