Cocktail is about a cocky and talented New York bartender who takes a job at a bar in Jamaica and falls in love. I'm not so sure why I really enjoyed this movie, maybe because it was just so hokey that I forgot about the qualities of a great film and just enjoyed it. A young Tom Cruise plays the cocky bartender, but I didn't think that he was that bad in this film, concerning his character was a little goofy. The soundtrack was really good and the atmosphere in Jamaica made the film a lot better. Elisabeth Shue is sizzling in the film and I thought her performance was the best of any actors, even though Bryan Brown did really well. Overall, this is a pretty good 80's flick which Tom Cruise later went on to starring in the Oscar winner, Rain Man. I recommend Cocktail.
