I googled Kelly McGillis to see if she can pass for 35 or not. She can’t. I sympathize with her, but the fact is even women want to see good-looking actresses on the screen in movies like TOP GUN. Pairing Cruise with my next door neighbor just wouldn’t fly (pardon the pun). It’s a rare movie when I don’t care what the actors & actresses look like. Some of those old British films had truly average looking people – I’m thinking of the 1961 TASTE OF HONEY -- and the casting worked.
Btw… Jon Hamm would be handsome if he wasn’t such an ass The best thing I saw him in was this commercial:
I think they could have included McGillis' character in some way, though. She didn't need to be the hot romantic partner, but they could have, you know, acknolwedged her existence. Especially in a story so focused on Mitchel's past.

Maybe include clips of the 1st movie? I guess I'll just have to see the movie now.
DON'T DO IT
Tom Cruise is that hot, huh?
