This is a fun 80's flick that any Tom Cruise fan must own. I've been a fan of this movie for over 30 years and recommend it to anyone longing for 80's nostalgia.

There has aways been a divide between critics and audiences. Sometimes this divide is small and almost unnoticeable, then others it's a chasm, in which no one can cross. However, on rare occasions time can close this gap. I wonder if that would be the case with Cocktail? When this movie came out Critics called it bland and vapid, and why wouldn't they? It came out hot on the heels of Wall Street. It seemed to be covering many of the same ideas, and yet in retrospect I think Cocktail is trying to cover a lot of those ideas from a much different place. Where Wall Street was about the corrupting nature of greed and lust for money and power, which causes Charlie Sheen's character to sell out his own father to obtain it. Cocktail seems to be more interested in the idea of money, power, and in some ways male friendship, as being shallow and unfulfilling. It creates these things as ideas that Tom Cruise character must over come in order to achieve a greater success as father and husband. It isn't so much the idea that money and power are the corrupting factors, at least not a lone. It's a vain pursuit of their shallowest aspects that can prove to ultimately be hollow. When Cruise's character begins to chase after love and family, he uncovers a greater wealth he had never even considered. There is something intreging about this film, even if I can't quite put my finger on it. There is also something wildly enjoyable about it too.
