"One Night at McCool's" debuted this week in 11th place nationwide. Andrew Dice Clay plays dual roles as twin brothers in this film, one an apparently non-practicing Latter-day Saint named "Utah," the other his more devout Mormon brother. At least that's the impression we get from reading the casting information and the reviews. Critical reaction to the film was generally harsh. The movie also stars Liv Tyler, Matt Dillon, John Goodman, Paul Reiser, and Michael Douglas.
