Summary: Interesting Movie!
Review: This movie is about Steve Rubell (Michael Myers) and his Club 54, the one of a kind Disco from the 70's in New York City. 54 has an interesting story....it is a story filled with sex, drugs and people with a passion to get somewhere in life. Ryan Phillippe, Michael Myers, Salma Hayek and Breckin Meyer are tha main characters and all of them do fantastic job. Its an interesting look at Club that most people would have surely forgotten. This is an entertaining film, it has great music, and it is a non-stop party. Highly Recommended!

Summary: Wait for the Director's Cut
Review: This movie can ride itself on atmosphere alone. It is one of those movies that totally takes you back to an era and leaves you there (which most other disco movies haven't). I gave it 5 stars for the potential that 54 has, but was cut out. There is still over 25 minutes still deleted from the movie...

Summary: Coulda Been, But Wasn't....
Review: Okay, first of all, to Masonx, Ryan Phillippe is not Canadian. Back to the point....This movie had tons of potential. I was really looking foward to seeing it. Having been born in 1978 I did most of my growing in the 90's so there was never a time that sex was safe and drugs were not addictive. I find that period of freedom fascinating and 54 was where the party was. I'm sure this movie was going somewhere very interesting before the studio got a hold of it. Laced with sex, drugs, homosexuality and energy, as that time was, the original cut was probably very good. But, alas, someone got nervous and added these horrible scenes, and cut the heart out of the film. They beefed up Neve's role, which was bad, beefed up Mike Myers role, which he played well but it just didn't work, and just plain messed up the movie. You can tell all the stuff that was reshot by Ryan's afro wig which looks nothing like real hair. Watch the original trailer to see things that look good but never made the final cut. I'm sad to see the DVD has no deleted scenes, and no Director's Cut edition, I would like to see the real film. And until these become available, don't waste your time. Good Idea...Bad Execution.

Summary: DELETED FOOTAGE IN DVD!
Review: Wow I just finally got the "54" DVD and was so surprised that there are tons of extra scenes included in the DVD, and it doesn't say that there are anywhere on the package, it's all stuff that should have been left in the movie too, makes it a lot more complete (tons more Ryan and Salma stuff), it's cool, a must for any DVD fan!

Summary: Should have been the year not the club...
Review: I admit I rented this movie on the expectation that it was not as awful as the critics had said. Sad to say they were right. For all its glam and flash and glitter and pretty bodies alas at the end of it all there isnt much of a story. New Jersey kid makes it big as a bartender in one of NYC's most exclusive clubs and lo and behold does find all his xmas's at once. The drugs the sex the debauchery, the loss of one's self esteem etc, sound all too familiar. Compared to "The Last Days of Disco" released at the same time no clues as to which is the better movie. Canadian actor Ryan Phillipe for all his studly good looks and fake accent makes a worthy effort but sadly still comes up as a weak lead.

The only redeeming feature is Mike Myers portrayal as Steve Rubell, the twisted, manipulative and machiavellian club owner who has no redeeming features whatever. He is the worst of his genre and makes no apologies for it. His boast that "54" is the only place where royalty and commoner can dance without social barriers rings untrue when he pointedly makes it so hard for the common people to get in. Exclusivity is everything. Dorky people need not apply. The legendary Steve has since passed on to that great disco in the sky and for all his reputation will not be missed. And neither will this movie.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I have wanted to see this movie for quite a while. As a New Yorker, I am interested in knowing what went on inside Studio 54, and so I thought I might learn more by watching the film.

Unfortunately the film is mainly focused on the character and narrator (played by Ryan Phillipe) than on the club itself. Yes, it shows the viewer some of the things that went on in the club, but not enough.

The acting is excellent though. Ryan Phillipe is much more than just another Hollywood pretty face; he's a good actor. But the real treat in this film is Mike Myers; his portrayal of the club's ringmaster is quite impressive. Various celebrities appear as themselves, which makes it a bit interesting. But overall, the movie is a big disappointment. I do not recommend it.

Summary: So sad, REALLY sad
Review: I was looking forward to seeing this film ever since i heard of its being made. Studio 54 is a place that i always held interest in. I very well studied up on it and it's characteristics and i was truly dissapointed at the results of the film. It seemed so chopped up and uneven, that it was allowed no chance to speak, which is exactly what a film of such a subject matter should posses. I was so let down with this film and i would assume it would do the same to others that feel the same ay about such an astonishing place as i do.

Summary: The Bad, the Beautful, and the Unbelievable
Review: Yeah this movie was a real touchdown. Lots of T&A, and plenty of glitz and glamour. There's even some drug scenes, though I do not approve of these--under any circumstances. If you want a flick that will make you crazy, check out 54--you WON'T be disappointed.
