Former [[TheMafia Mafia]] LoanShark Chili Palmer (Travolta) is a Hollywood producer who has grown jaded with the movie industry, and now wants to try his hand at the music business. He finds his chance when he meets Linda Moon (Christina Milian), a gifted young singer whose talents are going to waste under her current manager. Certain that she can become a superstar, Chili takes Linda under his wing and introduces her to Edie Athens (Thurman), the widow of an old friend--who Chili saw murdered just the day before--who now has full control of her former husband's record company.

''Be Cool'' is a 2005 comedy film directed by Creator/FGaryGray. It stars Creator/JohnTravolta, Creator/UmaThurman, and a [[EnsembleCast host of other well known actors, singers, and celebrities]]. ''Be Cool'' is a sequel to the 1995 film ''Film/GetShorty'', with Travolta reprising his role as Chili Palmer. Both films are [[FilmOfTheBook based on a series of novels]] by author Creator/ElmoreLeonard.
Former [[TheMafia Mafia]] LoanShark Chili Palmer is a Hollywood producer who has grown jaded with the movie industry, and who wants to try his hand at the music business.

Certain that she can become a superstar, Chili takes Linda under his wing and introduces her to Edie Athens, the widow of an old friend (who Chili saw murdered just the day before) who now has full control of her former husband's record company.
In short order Chili learns that his new career path might not have been the safest choice. Seemingly everyone in the industry suddenly wants a piece of him: from Linda's former manager, to the Russian mafia, wannabe gangstas, actual gangstas under the employ of a celebrity producer, a flamboyantly gay bodyguard, and a pair of cops that have had their eye on Chili for quite some time. However, Chili has a shady past of his own, and those gunning for him quickly discover that he knows how to [[TheChessmaster play the game]] better than anyone in the business.

* ActorAllusion: These are peppered throughout, as the film has fun with its EnsembleCast.
** A prime example is Wrestling/DwayneJohnson, who plays gay bodyguard and wannabe-movie star Elliot Wilhelm, and who's perhaps best known as "The Rock" from his former pro-wrestling career.
---> '''Linda Moon''': "He can raise just one eyebrow at a time... and that's all he thinks it takes to be an actor."
** There's also the dance scene with Chili and Edie, a clear nod to Vince and Mia's dance in ''Film/PulpFiction''.

* ExactWords: Just like [[Film/GetShorty in the previous film]], Chili explicitly requests a Cadillac from the car rental service and he is given a hybrid, a Honda Insight, which is most definitely '''not''' a Cadillac-brand vehicle but the rental service man explains as "the Cadillac (as in has a similar good reputation) of hybrids" when Chili protests.
