Bad bad bad.
Bog-standard flick, nothing less expected from the Cruiser in this period.
Take the same formula perfected in Top Gun, and apply it here, but with drinks. See also my Days of Thunder review.
Tom is really not good here, taking liberties with the plot is fine, but making it ridiculous is not. The setting is wonderful, and some scenery is great, but the actors still don't look like they're having a good time. No wonder, the "script" contains atrocious line after atrocious line, there are plenty of better buddy/romantic movies out there, don't bother with this trash.
