Be Cool
5.5

Overview

Chili Palmer has seen enough of Hollywood to know the game is rigged, so he pivots to the music business, where the scams are louder and the egos are bigger. Latching onto a recently widowed record executive, he spots a raw talent worth betting on and decides to play kingmaker. What follows is a send-up of the pop industry stuffed with hustlers, gangsters, and wannabes, all convinced they are one deal away from the top.
