Product Description

Amazon.ca

This 1988 effort at creating a milestone coming-of-age story with the impact of The Graduate is commendable, but the results are mostly shaky and garish. Tom Cruise plays an ambitious young man who arrives in New York City and becomes known as a flashy bartender in a hot club. After falling for Elisabeth Shue's girl-next-door character, however, his desire for success causes him to travel down a more selfish path with an older woman. The film, directed by Roger Donaldson (Bounty), is built on entirely on appearances (Cruise's star charisma) and flash (the way Cruise and his character's bartending mentor, played by Bryan Brown, toss bottles of booze around). The more interesting and underlying themes, however, particularly the hero's obvious Oedipal dilemmas, are lost beneath this window dressing, as if everyone involved was afraid to commit to the story's intrinsic value. Cruise fans might want to take a look at this, but otherwise there isn't much to recommend it. --Tom Keogh

Good acting and an interesting story of a young man who learns what's important in life. Great soundtrack. Good mixture of comedy and drama.

Great story about a flaky guy getting his crap together and realizing that there are no get rich quick schemes. Great film about a guy living in a dream who does come to settle into reality.

1.0 out of 5 stars good gawd!
this 'movie' is the most excerable lesson in bad marketing, mass production over art and a super egotistical 'star' whose hang ups about his height have overwhelmed to the degree... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I could SOOOOO identify with Tom's character at one point
This began as a so-so film for me, sort of light and easy to watch, until it reached the part where Tom Cruise takes up with the wealthy woman in New York and becomes a kept man. Read more
