Brown advises Cruise to keep his eyes open for a "rich chick," because that's his ticket to someday opening his own bar. This isn't bartending, it's a music video, and real drinkers wouldn't applaud, they'd shout: "Shut up and pour!" The bartenders in the film are played by Tom Cruise, as a young ex-serviceman who dreams of becoming a millionaire, and Bryan Brown, as a hard-bitten veteran who has lots of cynical advice. They get a roaring ovation from the customers in their crowded bar, which is a tip-off to the movie's glossy phoniness. All of this is done to rock 'n' roll music, and it takes them about four minutes to make two drinks. They juggle bottles in unison, one spins ice cubes into the air and the other one catches them, and then they flip bottles at each other like a couple of circus jugglers. What is remarkable, given the subject, is how little the movie knows about bars or drinking.Įarly in the film, there's a scene where the two bartenders stage an elaborately choreographed act behind the bar. Et des Amiches."Cocktail" tells the story of two bartenders and their adventures in six bars and several bedrooms. Avec la morale et la bénédiction du parti républicain. Du coup, je suis aussi ennuyé qu'énervé de voir ma blonde préférée signer la mise en bière de ce film pas piqué des verres et de le voir se vider en une niaiserie incommensurable. Puis, Elizabeth Shue arrive, la lumineuse, la fabuleuse Elisabeth Shue et le film vire au neuneu complet et simplet entre les deux tourtereaux dont la relation énumère une liste de clichés longue comme le bras. … ExpandĬ'est dommage, grosso merdo la première moitié du film -à moins que ce ne soit plutôt le tiers ?- est bien menée dans le genre de la comédie légère et gentiment ironique malgré ou grâce à cette andouille de Tom Bouse, jeune bellâtre aux dents longues qui jongle avec les bouteilles entre les C'est dommage, grosso merdo la première moitié du film -à moins que ce ne soit plutôt le tiers ?- est bien menée dans le genre de la comédie légère et gentiment ironique malgré ou grâce à cette andouille de Tom Bouse, jeune bellâtre aux dents longues qui jongle avec les bouteilles entre les cours. Good enough film in my opinion and Kelly Lynch looked hot. Later on Tom Cruise starts a bartender business in Jamaica and gets a girl pregnant then cheats on her and gets back with her and then becomes a father at the end. Tom Cruise basically plays a bartender and gets taught by Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown) how to be a bartender. The romance aspects are good even if some bits cheesy and there's obviously sex scenes even if you don't see much nudity. The bar scenes with Tom Cruise are great and learning how to flip bottles and the soundtrack is good except from a Jamaican song or something in the film. The acting isn't great but Tom Cruise carries the film in my opinion with help from Bryan Brown and I didn't find any of the characters annoying except the odd one or two. I like how Tom Cruise jumps from one woman to another and is the desire of every woman which is totally unrealistic and unbelievable. The short fight scenes involving Tom Cruise and Bryan Brown are great and a few others later. Cocktail is an old film that I remember growing up and I can certainly say it's not the best film I'll be honest but it's fun and there are much worser movies.
