IMDB

After finishing up some military service, Tom Cruise wants to become a millionaire in the go-go 80s. He heads to Wallstreet and fails to land a job, until he walks into a bar. The Australian bartender hires him and they proceed to dance and make drinks. When they start making bets with eachother things go sour. Cruise quits the bar.
Tom Cruise heads to some tropical island to make drinks. Then his old friend shows up. They hang out for a little. Tom Cruise is dating Elizabeth Shue. His Australian friend bets him he can't land a rich old woman, he takes the bet and does. Elizabeth Shue sees him and leaves. He goes back to New York to try to reconcile with her, especially after he finds out she is pregnant. Then his friend kills himself and he gets the girl somehow. A very stupid movie.
This movie is terrible, with bad acting and a dreadful script where basically nothing happens. This is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. I tried to think of something nice to say about it and all I could come up with is that the cameras were in focus the whole film. The music in this movie is bottom-of-the-barrel 80s pop rock.

2/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
