Ambitious but out-of-work stockbroker
Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise) is forced to take a job as a New York bartender.
Soon, with the help of seasoned pro Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown), Brian finds
his niche as a "star" on the club circuit pouring (and juggling)
drinks and putting on his 150-proof killer smile for the prettiest women on
Manhattan's Upper East Side.
REVIEWS
"Totally entertaining! A glitzy,
flashy, tour-de-force for Tom Cruise."
