my girlfriend and I saw this movie last night... and we both thought it completely SUCKED ASS. 
the plot was so thin and unengaging, I LITERALLY fell asleep several times during the movie! I have NEVER fallen asleep in the movie theatre before! the plot was truly absurd, but not even in an amusing or exciting way. 
really, "Be Cool" was little more than a vehicle to advertise the NUMEROUS corporate sponsors and to capitalize on the big name star power of the various famous people who had cameos in the flick.
how many times in one movie does John Travolta have to have numerous guns pointed at him by oh-so-seethingly angry people, and by using his "coolness" he is able to talk and charm his way out? well apparently atleast 3 or 4 times, just so the audience can get the single (albeit absurd) message of the movie, which you can learn just by reading the title on the movie poster... to "be cool" no matter what.
be smart and go see any other movie but this one. it will only insult your intelligence, and after you leave the theatre you'll feel like a sucker for making a small donation to the numerous already wealthy people who did cameos in this flick, and all of whom lent only their faces but little of their talent, and simply were there to capitalize on their fame... oh, and to shill what the numerous corporate sponsors where advertising.

I wouldn't go so far as to completely trash it.
Yes, it's nowhere near as good as "Get Shorty," but Travolta obviously loves the Chili Palmer character, and it was fun to see him reunited with Uma.
And Vince Vaughan was hilarious as the wannabe hip-hop gangsta..classic stuff.
But it wasn't worth paying full price...wait for this one to come out on video.
