>"Days get shorter and shorter, nights longer and longer, before you know it, your life is just one long night with a few comatose daylight hours."

This has a good soundtrack and is very cheesy and silly movie, but Tom Cruise does a good job as a flair bartender and Elisabeth Shue is always charming.

Watched this solely through being a fan of both Tom Cruise & Elizabeth Shue.. although I found it better than it received entitle credit for, it felt a bit rushed for me at times, there could of been a bigger part for “jordan” (Elizabeth Shue).. it just went through two years in the space of a scene, and there shared romance it what felt like a quick ten minute spell. Some great quotations throughout and a good soundtrack though. I did actually enjoy it.
