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 Quebec, setting the province's then-record gross box office for its first week in theatres,[4] and later reaching the highest box office ever received in the province by a homegrown film[5] with a gross of C$3.36 million in Canada.
[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.
