No one emerges from One Night at McCools unscathed, but I only hope that Liv Tyler doesnt allow herself to be converted from promising ingenue to walk ..
EW
3.1
It is so busy with its crosscut structure and its interlocking stories that it never really gives us anyone to identify with.
Rogerebert
4.0
But on its own terms, One Night at McCools is fun, if youre inclined toward cynicism, contempt, nihilism and cool stuff like that.
2.5
But, clearly, hes having a load of fun here and when hes around, so do we.
1.0
No matter how bad a movie with A list actors involved is, it will still be released somewhere, sometime, to someone.
E Film Critic

In this blunt, hard edged comedy from writer director Andrew Dominik, hes equal parts monster, buffoon, wounded child and cunning, tattooed sociopath.
San Francisco Chronicle
4.0
A very cool, sly comedy thriller of one femme fatale and three chumps.
2.5
I didnt laugh much, I didnt smile much and I certainly didnt care much for any of its characters.
JoBlo
2.5
A picture whose wildly different components never really coalesce into a satisfying whole.
One Guys Opinion
2.0
Maybe all those bloody corpses curdle the laughs...in this neo noir comedy of murders.
Tv Guide
1.9
Eventually, this device wears thin when we realize how dull the material actually is, and we can analyze why the structure doesnt work.
Mark Reviews Movies
1.5
Even when the film makes no sense, its still an enjoyably off beat exercise.

1.3
But no matter how good the actors may be, it doesnt make up for the incredible lameness of the script.
Reel Film Reviews
2.2
The film dutifully plugs away at telling its stories, apparently forgetting as it goes that it should have been funny, too.
Eric Ds Nider
1.5
Yet, its execution, despite the effort and calculated setup, isnt quite as polished or hilarious as intended and one might expect or hope.
Screen It
1.5
Counting on the star of Brain Smasher: A Love Story for laughs is a sign of true desperation.

Instead, its a full on, mean spirited bore thats neither as sexy nor as smart as it thinks it is.

3.1
An uneven and fairly forgettable comedy that produces only sporadic laughter.
Internet Reviews
1.5
McCools isnt quite as relentlessly juvenile as the recent spate of sex comedies, but its hard not to get cheesed off by the fear of sex, fear of women ..
1.9
has energy, but as a farce it falls flat because it has no tone and no center
Q Network

Neither Zwart nor Seidel can really enter into the lubricious, dirty minded spirit the movie should have.

What Randy doesnt know is that married man Carl spied Jewel that night in the parking lot, and he cant stop fantasizing about her.
Cnn
3.1
It isnt long before shes moved in, redecorated his ramshackle house and made him an unwitting accessory to the boyfriends murder.
Spliced Wire
3.8
Randy (Dillon) works in a bar, doesnt own a car, and lives in his Moms old dilapidated house.
Movie Habit
4.5
A brisk and sometimes bizarre comedy; funny, yet able to accommodate several sudden deaths comfortably.
Oregon Live
4.5
An offbeat, dark comedy filled with plenty of sight gags that work.
E Online
3.8
...burns like the sun through magnifying glasses and sets smoldering a hot, spicy, funny story full of unexpected twists. ** INTERVIEWS **
Ross Anthony
2.5
Shes a reprehensible character, but theres the strained effort to make this manipulative monster into someone sympathetic, cute n cuddly.
Flip Side Archive
4.2
I remember watching the opening scenes with an air of indifference, and I remember watching the climax very nearly in hysterics.
Film Blather
2.0
The characters are repellant, and not even in an entertaining or over the top way.
Filmcritic.com
2.5
Specific bits of humor sometimes seem forced, and the film never balances its array of sex, laughs and violence.
Rochester Goes Out
0.5
Throws jokes at the audience like alms for the poor; unfortunately, theyre all pennies.
Vulture
1.5
The script is tired and airless, desperate to make you laugh, and failing at that.
I Film
4.5
A well constructed farce with more than its share of belly laughs.
Citysearch
1.5
It eventually loses its concentration and ultimately falls apart.
Sacramento Bee
1.5
The actors make the most of a predictable story line, and almost without exception the jokes are funny.
Seattle Times
3.1
An odd fish, this, although theres no denying the conviction the ruby lipped temptress Liv Tyler brings to washing a car.
Imdb
1.5
The bulk of the humor is, like Andrew Dice Clay with black rimmed glasses, dweeby and cheap.
1.5
The scripts interlocking stories are dull, and the actors respond with variations on their most predictable themes.
1.5
This is the shadow of a dark farce just as Tyler doesnt really embody an irresistible sex object as much as stand for one.
1.5
One Night at McCools is too high brow to be low rent and too low brow to be considered worthy.
