The film is one of the great black comedy classics. I thought it went from funny to hilarious throughout, following a most mixed up bunch of interlinked characters that are connected to Jewel through One Night at McCools bar. Its a good buy in my eyes!!
The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's. Actually, they don't so much meet her as fall under her spell when they first lay eyes on her. In her clinging red dress she looks like a cross between a beautiful damsel in distress and the Lady In Red looking for John Dillinger. The story begins with Randy, desperate to be rid of Jewel, hiring a sleazy hitman, played by Michael Douglas in an outre toupee. His story of how Jewel lead him to ruin, filmed in a stylized flashback bathed in blue, is mirrored by Carl talking to his therapist--played with a delicious verve by Reba McEntire, and Detective Dehling talking with a priest; each telling their own stories of obsession with Jewel.Read full review
A film about the power of sexual desire, not too many belly laughs but Liv Tyler is great as the femme fatal.The rest of the cast are well cast too. A movie that amused both my wife and I, keeping our attention throughout.
Excellent film well worth the money ....................................................................
