Cocktail (1988)

Recommended Posts

Tom Cruise is the hottest bartender in New York, becomes friends with Bryan Brown, falls in love with Elisabeth Shue, must endure trouble where Brown's lifestyle is self-destructing and was forced by Shue's rich father to stay away from her before things work out again.

 

Has cool bartending scenes and was filmed beautifully in Jamaica, but was so bad it was unintentionally hilarious. Razzie winner for Worst Picture and has a low score of 5% on Rotten Tomatoes. Thoughts?

wow 5%, I didn't think that movie was all that bad. I mean it's no rain man. but it was ok at best. I know i'll end up watching it if it's on cable, but what ever. cocktails and dreams...

I'm sure the reviews weren't AS bad as the RT score suggests. I'd have to think that any pre-internet movie ratings have to be tainted a bit one way or the other, as a lot of older reviews probably didn't make the jump to the web sites, and I'll bet no one's doing any sort of retro reviews on how perfectly mediocre "Cocktail" was, y'know? Remember, according to internet law, everything is either the BEST ever or the WORST ever.
