The first half of this movie is so great. Just two guys vibing out, making drinks, dancing, having fun. But the second half is a sloppy, melodramatic, overly romantic mess. Clichés just abound here. There are still great moments, and Cruise gives an amazingly rizztastic performance, but that can’t save it from how sappy the movie gets at the end. It’s still a net positive but just a little disappointing.
