"Cocktail" isn't the first movie to feature a love triangle and it likely won't be the last. However, this movie presents two characters who are extreme versions of real-life personalities, which kept things somewhat interesting. The story does move as a messy pace at times and hits a few predictable notes, but I liked the characters in the movie enough to say this movie is fine for a one time watch. I think the movie has some interesting ideas about what people's expectations are for relationship partners and wished the movie focused more on exploring that. The ending of the movie felt a bit safe and I thought the whole last act was very dragged out and longer than it needed to be. Overall, it isn't a perfect romance movie and it also isn't the best, but I think it is a solid one with that hits occasional realistic notes that keep it unique enough.

This is a movie that is exactly what it is advertised to be. It is a very hilarious and dramatic story about three strangers that end up living together. There is a great ending that all rom-com fans will enjoy.

Cocktail starts off headily enough, and bubbles along till half time; post that, the sips get diluted, and the swallows take much longer.

Okay, so this film might have its flaws, I hear you. However, the film has a lot which makes it just right for when you need a break: the breezy, first half; the early 2010s, Bollywood pop; and fantastic performance from debutante Diana Penty...

A heady blend of terse dialogue, slick cinematography, an electric soundtrack and engaging characters, Cocktail will appeal in particular to the margarita-swilling members of the audience.
