“Cruise” (**1/2 out of four) was a stylish but empty melodrama set in 1980’s Queens in which a young Italian-American (Spencer Boldman) falls in love with a Jewish girl (Emily Ratajkowski) from Long Island which leads to an unexpected series of cultural and community clashes because of their different backgrounds and lifestyles. Authentic Queens locale and photography (around which this NYC critic grew up) and Boldman’s charismatic lead performance are plusses but story never coalesces or builds to much. Film buffs will note the casting of Katherine Narducci who played the mother in “A Bronx Tale” of which this film aspires to in some ways but is pale in comparison.
