Critics Consensus: Be Cool is tepid, square, and lukewarm; as a parody of the music business, it has two left feet.

I was really glad when it was over.
One of the cuddliest, cutest movies you'll ever see about mobsters and murderers.
You know a sequel isn't working when, ten minutes into the movie, a voice inside your head starts screaming, 'Please make it stop!'
Be Cool lacks both a focus and an edge, making it an amorphous mess.
The movie feels more like a cavalcade of personalities than anything resembling a story.
It's kind of -- hmmmm, less than good, a little better than not bad, almost all right, mediocre without being grating, sort of in the C-minus-to-C-minus-minus range.
Be Cool isn't the biting satire that Get Shorty was. It's lighter, hipper, and, yes, more fun.
Be Cool sounds like it should be good, or at least entertaining, but it's neither. It does have some genuinely fun moments, but lacks a strong narrative to hang them off of. The result is empty, full of contrivances, and ultimately unsatisfying.
Watered-down sequel isn't meant for kids.
Self-mocking jokes prevail in F. Gary Gray's feisty cinematic version of Elmore Leonard's irreverent Los Angeles based novel.

The characters are still engaging, but the story is a mess this time around.
It has a dynamic cast of actors, musicians and entertainers, but Be Cool can't deliver from the amount of starpower it possessed. The film is bland and has a giggle every now and then, but otherwise, just flat. 2/5

I dont remember a whole lot but I remember thinking, "What the hell is the movie even about?" The commercials boasted an all-star cast but that is all that it delivered. One forgettable, dry, and pretentious movie.
Loved the songs and it was funny (most of the time). And I must say, Rock was hilarious.
