The making of Cocktail was mainly the inspiration behind the creation of TGI Fridays. It all started when Alan Stillman opened the first TGI Fridays restaurant in 1965, in New York. He lived in a neighborhood with many airline stewardesses, fashion models, secretaries, and other young, single people on the East Side of Manhattan near the Queensboro Bridge and hoped that opening a bar would help him meet women. At the time, Stillman's choices for socializing were non-public cocktail parties or beer-drinking taverns that women usually did not visit. He said that "There was no public place for people between, say, 23 to 37 years old, to meet." He sought to recreate the comfortable cocktail party atmosphere in public despite having no experience in the restaurant business. Sounds a bit like Tom Cruise's character learning the bartending business.

My boss was a dumb high-school dropout who really thought he'd arrived in life because he was in charge of 2 other people. I remember him talking about how he loved Bobcat Goldthwaite.

The director of this film would later go on to direct one of the best sci-fi horror films of the '90s "Species". And also others such as "Dante's Peak" and "The Recruit".

In a state that bans self-service. Otherwise it will be a short sad movie.

Fun (personal) fact: I actually saw Mac and Me before I saw E.T. Let me explain. E.T. was in theaters the year I was born and I am guessing my family had seen it because I was flat out forbidden from watching it. My grandma thought the movie was too violent if memory serves so Mac and Me was something I watched instead. Despite the fact that I am very well aware that it is a crappy movie, I still have fond memories of watching it (remember I like Hudson Hawk and Howard the Duck so... I am very familiar with cinematic excrement). My grandma didn't like it... but enjoyed watching it with me. Another fun fact: I was forbidden from watching E.T. but I used to watch Alien Nation the television series with my grandma (yes, the same one). She had... weird rules. Some things I wasn't allowed to watch and yet other things was perfectly fine. Wasn't allowed to watch Nightmare on Elm Street nor Friday the 13th... but watched the sequels with her full knowledge (Also watched Tales from the Crypt and Tales From The Otherside). Wasn't allowed to watch Heavy Metal (I doubt I need to explain why) by my DAD, my grandma said it would be fine. :D Her logic with that one was: "It's a cartoon... she loves cartoons!" Enjoyed listening to my dad try to tell my grandma why I couldn't... while they were actively watching it and she was in the same room. My family is weird.

I liked this movie as a kid, Elizabeth shue taking off the swimsuit was an early sexual awakening for me. Fight me

I don't care if Caddyshack 2 was horrible, I want the the family picture where all the faces are Chevy Chase's.

For me personally I agree with you Hot to Trot is not only bad it's not even so bad it's good while Mac and Me would be a close second one of the upsides is that it gave Paul Rudd his favorite prank to pull on Conan. I feel like Bobcat is a better director while just ok as a supporting actor provided he's given a good script two good examples are his roles in Hercules as Pain and the guy who goes crazy in Scrooged.

Good research!

If you guys want a prime example of why Bobcat Goldthwait is sidekick material, he was the voice of Pain in Disney's Hercules.

"Cocktail" is a typical 80's movie. Far from being the worst movie of that year.

"Keep Your Eye on the fruit!" Well done Broski :)

If it's any comfort, Goldtwaith hated 'Hot to Trot' too, he freely admits he did it for the money.

Similar to how Cruise was nominated for both & worst actor at the same time, Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing” was nominated for both best & worst original song at the same time as well.

I guess Sean's gotta pull out the Kirk costume again for next time. Can't wait!

I've been a barman. I have had this exact experience of having EVERYONE at the bar shouting at me. It got so bad I had to get a bouncer to stand by the bar to stop customers from threatening to kill me because I took too long to serve them. Also had a sixpack stolen from behind the counter. Bartending is a horror.

Me: wait, it took 10 minutes to read Cocktail to filth? What’s happening with the second half? *mentions the other Razzie nominees* Me: oh, okay. Never mind.

“Fuck that movie in all of its’ holes!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now I want a full review of Hot to Trot.

Here's who else was considered for the roles of Brian, Coughlin, and Jordan: Brian: 1.Jeff Bridges 2.Jim Carrey 3.Steve Guttenberg 4.Tom Hanks (couldn't accept the role due to scheduling conflicts with Big) 5.Rob Lowe 6.Bill Murray (was busy with Scrooged) 7.Keanu Reeves (was busy with Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) 8.Charlie Sheen 9.John Travolta 10.Robin Williams 11.Ted McGinley 12.Michael Keaton 13.Matthew Broderick Coughlin: 1.Jack Nicholson 2.Dustin Hoffman 3.Michael Caine 4.Dudley Moore 5.Paul Newman Jordan: 1.Jodie Foster 2.Heather Graham (was busy with License to Drive) 3.Jennifer Grey 4.Daryl Hannah 5.Jennifer Jason Leigh 6.Demi Moore 7.Sarah Jessica Parker 8.Molly Ringwald 9.Ally Sheedy

My theory is Caddyshack 2, Knock off Mr. Ed and Knock off ET were seen as entertainingly terrible where making fun of them would be enjoyable whereas Cocktail is just mediocre.

What makes "cocktail" worse than "hot to trot" is that it takes itself seriously.

As someone who lives in New York City, there are certainly some assholes around (especially when it comes to driving in the city, you have to be very careful when driving around here), but that doesn’t speak for everyone. Not everyone here are assholes and there is certainly so much to do around here. Also, no. Bars that are in the city do not function like that and don’t have that many people crowding around the table shouting out demands simultaneously. Then again, I personally don’t go to bars all the time cause I drink occasionally, but that’s my consensus.

And despite all said here…. I always have and always will enjoy Cocktail and can’t justify why really.
