Cocktail...now, that's what I call a bad movie.
But it's a good thing Tom Cruise had done many impressive films during the 80's and early 90's to wipe it away from memory.
Doug Coughlin is so full of crap that the best he can do is suicide. I mean, how is it possible for him to
marry a rich chick? All of a sudden, Doug has money like he's the Wolf of Wall Street.
Brian Flanagan is an annoying jerk who serves no purpose except to reveal how much of a snake he is. The inside of his head
must be full of rocks. I won't be surprised if he suffers brain damage from smelling alcohol all the time at work. On top
of it, he sure drinks a lot and is on his way to alcoholism in a record time.
At least, Gina Gershon's character did the right thing by being a cold-hearted bitch and proceeding to make out with his
friend, backstabbing Brian before dumping him. Elizabeth Shue...Elizabeth Shue...Elizabeth Shue...jeez, she's terrible.
The movie is only watchable because of the bottle-throwing crap which is called flair bartending, a top ten pointless skill.
All in all, Cheesytail is more like it.
