Summary of The Coca-Cola Kid
Starring Academy AwardÂ(r) nominee* Eric Roberts (Runaway Train) and Emmy winner** Greta Scacchi (The Red Violin), this "wacky comedy" (Leonard Maltin) is full of clever fun, lighthearted romance, and an enchanting Aussie-American charm! "Abundantly rewarding" (Los Angeles Times) and "filled with moments of inspiration" (Roger Ebert), The Coca-Cola Kid celebrates both the Outback way of life and American pride! Ex-marine turned Coca-Cola marketing guru Becker (Roberts) is on a mission to boost sales in Australia when he discovers a dry spot in the Outback, where everyone is guzzling a homegrown brewand not a drop of his company's cola! Determined to pop the top off his competitor, Becker tries to reason with the crafty soda maker but ends upfalling for his free-spirited daughter (Scacchi) who really shakes things up. Will everything fizzle or end up in perfect harmony? The answer is a delightful blend of romance and comedy that's sure to refresh you! *Supporting Actor, Runaway Train (1985) **Supporting Actressin a Miniseries, "Rasputin" (1996)Eric Roberts, young, charming, and handsome, does a rare comic turn as an American Coca-Cola executive with a honeyed Georgia drawl sent Down Under in this congenial little Australian comedy. As the zealous, unfailingly polite eccentric declares economic war on a veritable back-country feudal lord who runs his own steam-powered soda plant (Bill Kerr), Roberts?s enchantingly goofy secretary (Greta Scacchi) plots a campaign of seduction that includes a Santa suit that explodes in an orgiastic blizzard of feathers. Yugoslavian director Dusan Makavejev (Montenegro), hardly known for romantic comedy, brings a surprisingly light touch to the comedy and a sweet sexiness to the offbeat love story. The script veers into scenes that make no sense and gets bogged down in the cola wars, but Makavejev buoys the film with unexpected turns, delightful moments of beauty and joy, and a genial, generous sense of humor. --Sean Axmaker
