Chicago Sun-Times "Be Cool" is a movie that knows it is a movie. It knows it is a sequel and contains disparaging references to sequels. All very cute at the screenplay stage, where everybody can sit around at story conferences and assume that a scene will work because the scene it refers to worked. Roger Ebert

Reelviews Be Cool, the belated sequel to 1995's Get Shorty, has moments when we think it's going to work. It occasionally tantalizes with witty dialogue and sharp supporting performances. Alas, those are only teases - the film is priming us for something that never happens. James Berardinelli

The Boston Globe Dated 'Be Cool' comes up short-y. Despite its title, there's nothing cool about F. Gary Gray's adaptation of novelist Elmore Leonard's punch-drunk music-biz satire, ''Be Cool." Wesley Morris

USA Today Elmore Leonard fans will want to shoot Be Cool a few icy stares, despite the fleeting surface appeal (which is all this movie has) of watching a noisy cast backdrop Chili Palmer's return to the screen. Mike Clark

San Francisco Chronicle "Be Cool," the sequel to "Get Shorty," is almost two hours of appealing nonsense, about competing gangs and factions warring to control the destiny of a promising young singer. Mick LaSalle
