Tom Cruise fans.
Thoughts
I do not know what to make of this movie. Was it a guys movie? A chick flick? It was not bad, but it was not great either.
I admit that I have never been to New York nor met bartenders such as these. My favorite part was the great chemistry between Cruise and Bryan Brown. Their bar scene when they do fancy tricks like synchronized-bar tending were very fun to watch. I just do not know how realistic that was.
Other than that, everything else was pretty average. The screenplay tried, as it explored issues of love, money and priorities in the 1980's. But I just didn't care.
What I would change
Not sure.
