A young man returns from the military and is looking to get rich. Turned down by corporate employers, he finds a job and a friend at a small bar. They have trouble with women together, separate, and the friend finds him again in Jamaica. The main character has just met a new woman and the friend is married. On a bet, the main character flirts with a woman at the bar, ruining his relationship with the other woman he met. Everyone goes back to New York to continue their problems.
This was just one cliche after another. It is on a list of worst films and has won a Golden Raspberry award. I don't think it's that bad, but it is definitely not good. The production was all to my liking in sight and sound, except for the friend's letter being read too quietly. The writing and dialogue were not very good, but not the worst I've seen. What bothered me most was the bartender being inundated with drink orders to the point that he can't keep up when he is learning. Once he knows his job, the drink orders suddenly seem to have time to wait for him to spin bottles and dance. I rate this tolerable because it was. You might not want to watch it.
