Also This Week: A 'Night' to Forget

One Night At McCool’s tells the story of three men whose paths cross when they share stories of their ideal women at McCool’s Bar one night. Randy the barman (Matt Dillon), Carl (Paul Reiser), his lawyer cousin and Dehling (John Goodman), a cop, all find themselves in love with the same woman, Jewel (Liv Tyler). Jewel is a beautiful, money-seeking femme fatale who manipulates each man until she begins to lose control. She eventually meets her match when Mr. Burmeister (Michael Douglas), who may or may not be a hit man, arrives on the scene. This black comedy is directed by Harald Zwart who made his directorial debut with the 1998 Swedish film, Hamilton, but is best known for his comedic commercials for Lynx deodorant. —Yan Fang
