despite john travolta statement in interview that this be his favorite role of his career and be cool prof to be a disappointing sequel to 1995 witty and clever get shorty . travolta deliver a pleasant enough performance in this mildly entertaining film and but ultimately the movie fall flat due to an underdeveloped plot and unlikeable character and and a surprising lack of chemistry between lead travolta and uma thurman . although there be some laugh and this unfunny dialog example ( which appear frequently in the trailer ) kind of say it all represent thurman represent do you dance . travolta represent hey and i be from brooklyn . the film suggest that everyone in the entertainment business be a gangster or aspires to be one and liken it to organize crime . in get shorty and the premise of a gangster go legitimate by get into movie be a clever fish out of water idea and but in be cool and it seem the biz have entirely go crook since then . the film be interestingly cast and the absolute highlight be a monolgue deliver by the rock and whose character be an aspire actor as well a a goon and where he reenact a scene between gabrielle union and kirsten dunst from bring it on . vince vaughan character think he black and he often see dress a a pimp this be quite funny in the first scene that introduce him and get tire and embarrass almost immediately afterward . overall and be cool may be worth a rental for john travolta die hards ( of which i be one ) and but you may want to keep your finger close to the fast forward button to get through it without feel that you waste too much time . fan of get shorty may actually wish to avoid this and a the sequel be devoid of most thing that make that one a winner . i rate this movie an admittedly harsh 4/10 .
