Little Tom Cruise at his 80s best!

All time classic, with Elizabeth Shue cast as the perfect girl-next-door rich chick, who you can like without feeling jealous of. Tom Cruise has just enough arrogance mixed with sex appeal to make the ladies swoon.
Makes me want to rent out a cocktail bar on Negril beach so I can get a bit of the action.- Was this review helpful to you?

(41)Worth it just for Cruise's Jamaican accent (Slappin the bass mon)
By Bassman71 (618 reviews) from Didsbury, England , 13 Aug 2012Man comes out of the Army, has big ideas, gets bar job, man and bar owner get poached by bigger bar, fall out, goes to Jamaica, meets girl.
Usual formulaic Tom Cruise vehicle which sees him acting more wooden than a table and not helped by a cast that doesn’t do much better.
You could pretty much write out the plot in five minutes at the beginning and it doesn’t disappoint although standout moments are Cruise’s Irish and especially Jamaican accents.
The opening song is by Kenny Loggins so you can sort of expect what the rest is going to be like.- Was this review helpful to you?

Above average - has its moments.
By a customer , 04 Dec 2011Yeah above average 80s film and just a vehicle for Tom Cruise. I personally watched it for Elizabeth Shue:O). Why oh why couldn't they have shown a frontal shot of her when she removes her swim suit in the waterfall scene?:O(. Ah well, at least we got to see Kelly Lynch's behind - 5 stars for that.- Was this review helpful to you?

Shake it up & have some Fun Fun Fun!!
By laneyb (256 reviews) from Rochester, Kent , 11 Apr 2011I enjoyed watching this after all the years since it was first made back in 1988. Great cast in 'Bryan Brown' of the FX films, 'Elizabeth Shue' of 'Adventures in Babysitting' and of course a young 25 year old 'Tom Cruise' of Top Gun and many other films!!
All the cocktail shaking, along with the dancing behind the bar just adds to the fun of the film.
One I would watch again...- Was this review helpful to you?
