This movie doesn’t really need to exist… but I’m not mad that it does! Tom Cruise was a real busy guy in the mid to late '80s, so I don’t blame him for taking this muffin of a movie and making a vacation out of it, letting his cheeky grin do the heavy lifting. Well worth a watch just because it might be the epitome of melodramatic cheese.

Watched on 35mm at the Revue. Part of their Destination Love programming, which I now understand is actually a series of films that focus on romance AND travel, not just romance. But this is the kind of movie best experienced with a crowd, where the weirdness becomes a communal thing. The "Kokomo" needle drop went over quite well.
