This is one of my favourite 80`s films. It`s a bit under-rated in my opinion. It`s got plenty to keep you interested, and great performances, from the co-stars Bryan Brown and especially Elisabeth Shue, playing Cruise`s girlfriend. It`s got some fanatastic scenes where Cruise and Brown, are doing tricks with the bottles behind the bar - if you ever wanted to be a barman watch this! A good soundtrack, and definitely worth buying.

A great film a timeless classic that is still as good now as it was then when it first came out made all the better with the blu ray treatment. That said the picture could have done with a bit more tweaking but with a film this age it really don't matter. I watched it and some of the detail that shines through makes it seem like a new movie. I highly recommend this to anyone especially those of you who love a bit of nostalgia and are now In there mid 30s it'll take you right back

The ultimate Tom Cruise film. This has everything you expect from a Tom Cruise film and more. A young Cruise in a familiar role as a character who struggles to acheive a dream and surpasses insurmountable odds to make it. A dramatic surprise twist at the end to a great and inspriring ending. His character in Cocktail is a great follow up to his previous success at that time in Top Gun. Although more grounded in the real world and making it on the streets, a 1988 classic. 5 stars.

Tom Cruise stars as Brian Flanagan, who is fresh out the army and finding that landing an executive job in the big city isn't as easy as he thought. Taking on a course for a business degree, he winds up working part time at a cocktail bar under the tutelage of bar tending philosopher Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown). A new world is about to open up for both of them.
Right, I have the softest of soft spots for this movie. That doesn't mean I'm not aware of its many failings, most notably the heavy weight of predictability that pounds down on the head from the very first frame. But as simple as it may be (oh this is plot line simplicity decorated in flashy booze bottle twiddling), and the obvious cash in on Cruise's box office appeal that it was (note that his next film was the considerable shift to Rain Man), it's fun (thanks to Bryan Brown's mugging) and sweetly romantic (thanks to Elisabeth Shue being sweetly romantic). Yeah it's a hard sell I know! But Cruise charms in a way that has his haters swigging the Alabama Slammers by the dozen, and guys! Kelly Lynch pops up wearing a thong. Yeah I'm pretty shallow where Cocktail is concerned, sue me...
All together now, "This magic moment" 6.5/10

As its got Tom Cruise in it, its bound to be good! I bought this as I have been reliving my youth a bit. Tom doesn't disappoint... well recommended, story line a little predictable toward the end but it does keep you watching. If you're a romantic you will enjoy this film.

May be nearly 22 years since it came out in the cinema but still a good Tom Cruise for those of us of a certain age! Great film to relive your youth.
