The Filthy Critic reviews Be Cool
Filthy is by far my favorite movie reviewer, and he’s in fine form for this 2-finger review of Be Cool.
Ocean’s Twelve sucked because all the assholes in it thought they were cool and didn’t give a fuck what we thought. They just wanted to watch themselves strut around like fey peacocks. Be Cool sucks worse and in a sadder way. It’s populated by assholes who don’t even have a clue what’s cool, suspect as much, and still try really hard to convince us they are. This is the Hollywood equivalent of a group of seventh grade honor students who perform an abstinence rap during pep rally in the gym. Only the teachers who bob their head and pretend they like it will think this shit is cool. And they’ll say, “Normally, I don’t like rap, but those kids had a positive message.”
Old Man Brachman is just a pale shadow of Filthy. I bow before the master.
