Product Description

 
William H. Macy adds another quirky, offbeat, and original character to his resume in the form of Bernie Lootz, a sad-sack loser who has the worst luck in town. Unfortunately for him, that town happens to be Las Vegas. He gets hired by his old friend Shelly Kaplowitz (the excellent Alec Baldwin, hitting his stride) to work at the Shangri-La Hotel and Casino, where his bad luck rubs off on the gamblers previously doing well at the tables. But Lootz isn't actually getting paid; he owes money to Shelly, so he is merely working off his debt. Things go haywire when he meets Natalie (Maria Bello) and falls instantly in love--threatening to change his luck. Meanwhile, Shelly is trying to keep the old-school feel of the casino, battling Larry Sokolov (Ron Livingston), who wants to update the place into a glitzy multimedia entertainment center. This struggle of old versus new is also seen in Sokolov's plans to replace aging lounge singer Buddy (Paul Sorvino) with hot newcomer Johnny Capella (Joey Fatone of *NSYNC...

William H. Macy is The Cooler (2003)

Date of Review:  May 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: The Cooler is a dark, slow-moving film with some truly weird scenes, but a strange magic brews underneath it all.
Review: Ever get that feeling like you bring bad luck to all the people around you? Has it ever gotten so extreme that you actually believe if you weren't there, this stuff wouldn't be happening to them? I know that's so irrational of a thing to think, but...

What?s Cooler Than Being Cool? Getting Lucky

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: Was it really necessary to show William H. Macy's bottom line?
Review: When I was in Las Vegas, the only games I played were Count the Mullets, That Waitress s Boobs: Real or Fake?, and Find the Ugliest Winner on the Wall of Fame. These I spy style contests, while fun, don t exactly make money for the casinos. Places...

Running Out Of Luck

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2004

Review: Bernie Lootz has made a living changing the good luck of any gambler who comes to the Las Vegas casino where he works. Bernie (William H. Macy) is the cooler at the Shangri-La hotel casino. When hotel manager Shelly Kaplow (Alec Baldwin) calls on...

  (12/05/2003, p.12E, Mike Clark): "Director/co-writer Wayne Kramer generally finesses an unusual tone....Grabber subplots further boost a story that is basically made by its three leads."

Format: DVD, Cooler
The Cooler stars William H. Macy in perhaps his finest lovable loser role, Maria Bello (Auto Focus) in a breakout performance as a struggling cocktail waitress and Alec Baldwin, who hasn t been this vicious (or quotable) since he played Blake in Glengarry Glen Ross.The Cooler is Bernie Lootz, and The Cooler is a love story about the changing fortunes of this real loser who has made a career out of his contagious bad luck. The Cooler plies his trade on the floor of Las Vegas aging Shangri-La casino, an old-school gambler s casino, a dinosaur in the shadow of the new Strip and its theme-park attractions. In this purgatory of bright lights and chirping slots, The Cooler drifts from table to table, his bad karma cooling one gambler s lucky streak after another. Like an inmate serving time, The Cooler s been here for years, paying off a nasty gambling debt he owes to the Shangri-La s slippery Director of Operations, Shelly Kaplow (Baldwin). Bernie is just days away from fulfilling his debt when he meets Natalie (B
