Movie review - "The Coca Cola Kid" (1985) **

 This film was so annoying. Why did it exist? What was it's point? I didn't get it as a kid. I don't get it now. Greta Scacchi is spectacularly beautiful and looks splendid naked. So much of it is unfunny - a waiter who thinks Eric Roberts is a secret agent, Eric Roberts, the confusing battle.

Bill Kerr does everything he's asked for . Pretty pictures. Nicely shot. Interesting people turn up in the cast like David Argue and Tim Finn.

Can Dusan Makavejev direct? Maybe this would've worked in the 70s.

This movie is dumb. An offensive waste of money.
