Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Mar 21 As a kid I'd go to the video store often. Unlike most, I didn’t usually follow a plan and would have to look at every video in the place before I chose one (and now people know how I know so much about movies and excel at movie trivia.) One title I often came across but never rented was The Coca Cola Kid, I'd never seen this until now. In the end, I felt this was kinda disappointing. The originality was good, and a movie about Coca Cola marketing was interesting for a bit, but there came a point where it lost direction and made me realize it never really had good direction. The ending was just... what was this about? Coke satisfies, so I might turn it on again. For some reason I always though this was about a teenage kid but.. the ‘Coca Cola Kid’ wasn’t even a kid, he was a grown ass man who was an ex-Marine in Australia on an assignment for Coca Cola. The 80's were weird, man, but I can see why younger self never grabbed this off the shelf at the video store. See more Larry H @Larry907 04/28/2023 An endearing comedy that still holds up. The time period is well preserved in Australia mid 80s. See more bill t @Spuzz 03/24/2018 A bit of a cultish-wanna-be movie, too in love at how smart it is. A coca cola rep decides to fight for the last Australian Territory that doesn't have the wonder drink. From there, it really just goes everywhere. A mess.

Eric Roberts is great. This is a funny and excellent movie. See more 08/24/2013 Was an okay flick, about a cocky American trying to get more sales from Coke in Australia. Roberts kind of grows on you after awhile and Scacchi is just flat out adorable, and the girl playing her little daughter steals every scene she is in by being even more adorable. It was interesting to see how Coke tries to go in and push it's product to every single place, but the movie didn't offer up much more in plot and was kind of a slow film to watch. And usually I wouldn't complain about seeing the Lovely Greta Scacchi naked a ton, but her two scenes are really all that made this film R rated. And they didn't move the story on, so just from a rantings stand point, they could have cut that stuff and got a lesser rating. See more Read all reviews
