Tom Cruise fans around the globe are rejoicing at the launch of his latest blockbuster, “Admission Possible”. In it, Cruise plays a washed up actor trying to sleep with co-eds by getting into college. The only problem is that his character has no education, work experience or skills at all.
Of course this minor impediment proves predictably insufficient if the title is to be believed. The role also has Tom filling in as a drama teacher and preaching scientology to stray dogs when he isn’t peddling face products in the cafeteria for tuition money. Katie Holmes also shines in a sideline role as the girl who holds his bag. During the course of the film, he eventually finds an additional use for her as a bookmark.
Cruise hasn’t been taken seriously in the industry since Mission Impossible 3 was dubbed less a movie and more his modeling catalogue. Injuries sustained from a tumble from Oprah’s couch still plague the film star on cold nights. This led to his recent movie “Knight and Day” being lopsidedly filmed mostly during the day.
Despite his many idiosyncrasies, Cruise is still a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. He may oddly believe his son is a prophet but the fact remains that he is a fine looking man for his age that has made some notable movies on occasion. It remains to be seen whether he will make any more before either old age or dementia have claimed him.
