get shorty be an excellent film . it be funny and have the perfect balance of highly comical acting and a serious plot . be cool be like some cheap knock off try to pass for a sequel . john travolta a chili palmer seem to have forget that he be ever in the mob . he play it like he a bored movie exec and rather than a bored movie exec who use to be a shylock . uma thurman and great in nearly every role she ever play and come off a strained and confusing . be she suppose to be ditzy or clever . the chemistry between her and travolta be strain and uncomfortable . other than that and just add every movie cliché you can think of . a well educate rap producer by cedric the entertainer and an inept gangster wannabe in andre 3000 and the girl with heart and soul and and a good set of pipe in christina milian and a gimmicky black dude wannabe in vince vaughn and and a stupid celebrity cameo by stephen tyler . the only funny part be the rock and who invent his own new cliché a a gay samoan bodyguard actor wannabe . probably the big crime be the plot represent it make no sense . get shorty be clever with chili play one group against another and come out on top . but this film try that with about a million different character . and even chili doesn not seem to know what go on . fan of get shorty be warn represent this be a very different and very bad movie .
