A relic of long ago when pretty boy jocks ruled the Earth. This near plotless romp limps cliche montage to cliche montage and just screams eighties. Tom Cruise has never been this smugly vacant.

Tom Cruise douche bags his way around New York and Jamaica until something happens that makes him reevaluate his life. There are some very unintentionally funny moments which make the film easy to watch, but this is in no way a good film.

Wow, I had no idea this was going to be so...retarded. That's...that's your ending?!? That's how all of this gets resolved? Seriously? Well, pour me a big glass of low-proof sugar-water with pretty food coloring and crushed ice and by all means, let's ride this shit-chute straight into the fucking dumpster! Woooo hoooo motherfucker!!!

Not as good as I had originally remembered.

But Cruise is still brilliant, doing what he does best. Pure charisma, a la Top Gun and Colour of Money.

Without him this film would be nothing.

All hail The Cruiser.

Like Scarface but with martinis instead of blow, and actually good.

Tom Cruise is a living legend.

Début prometteur mais un peu long sur la fin (un peu décevante).

Parfois trop clichés années 80-90.

Dommage qu'on en voit pas un peu plus sur les cocktails, Couglhin et ses lois, ...

Tom Cruise is a living legend.

This is a film I had not seen in over 20 years and caught it late on tv. What an absolute mess of a film, nonsensical and idiotic. Cruise has matured into a decent actor but in this he is horrifyingly bad, straining to act without exertion. He is so bad the performance feels like a Scary Movie style spoof of a Cruise performance.

Only the great Bryan Brown manfully struggling through one of the worst scripts ever filmed gives it the half star.

If "Days of Thunder" is "Top Gun" with race cars, "Cocktail" is "Jerry Maguire" with bartenders. And punching. And Elisabeth Shue.

'You see, there are two kinds of people in this world: the workers and the hustlers. The hustlers never work and the workers never hustle...'

This film boasts the charm and charisma of a young Tom Cruise, showing off some great acting skill and the ability to throw bottles around the place like no tomorrow.

Whilst the film has an overwhelmingly cheesy amount of charm, it suffers from a plot that simmers down after about half-an-hour, but luckily it maintains a constant sense of character development and, as already stated, cheesy charm.

Thanks to Tom Cruise and Bryan Brown, Cocktail is able to sway its audience with its cool and confident style. Deeply lacking in substance or any real emotion, the picture draws you in with beautiful scenery and sets. Accompanied by a great licensed soundtrack and an impressive original score, Cocktail is a fine mix but falls short of greatness due to some shoddy writing and rushed plot points.

Tom Cruise is somehow able to make the most socially crippling and backbreaking job look cool. In his prime, was there anything he couldn't do?

more cocks than tale...

I really can't pinpoint what I love about this movie. The message is pretty forced and pointless, but after watching it, I tell ya, I really wanna be a bartender.
