Cruising Bar is a 1989 Canadian comedy film, directed by Robert Ménard.[2] The film stars Michel Côté as four separate characters – Serge, a shy nerd; Patrice, a drug-addicted film and television stuntman; Jean-Jacques, a pompous yuppie; and Gérard, an unhappily married man – who are each out on Saturday night hoping to hook up with a woman.[3]
The film's cast also includes Louise Marleau, Geneviève Rioux, Véronique Le Flaguais, Pauline Lapointe, Marthe Turgeon, Linda Sorgini and Tony Nardi.
The film was highly successful in
C$3.36 million in Canada.[1] It was not Quebec's most successful film of the year overall; although its box office in Quebec exceeded that of Denys Arcand's Jesus of Montreal, the Arcand film was more successful in English Canada and internationally.[6]
The film received three
Best Costume Design (Louise Labrecque).[7] It did not win any of those awards, but Jacques Lafleur and Pierre Saindon were presented with a Special Achievement Genie for Make-Up.[8]
A sequel film, Cruising Bar 2, was released in 2008.[9]
