Review of Cocktail

This is a pretty decent flick, if you don't go into it expecting it to be something it's not. This is not high art. But it doesn't pretend to be. It's like a lot of films, where the premise is better than the story. A film about showoff bartenders in Manhattan. OK, but then you've got to build a movie around that. Their antics are photogenic, but it takes them about four minutes to make two drinks. What Midtown alcoholics are going to put up with that? Anyway, hey, a film with both Elizabeth Shue AND Kelly Lynch, two of the cutest actresses of the late '80's. AND, Gina Gershon. What's not to like? This was an obvious star vehicle for Tom Cruise, and he did OK here, but Bryan Brown stole the show.
