Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FUN FUN FUN!!!!
Review: This movie is s must see for couples. It's not too sappy but it's very romantic and extremely funny and witty. The characters singaporian accents add to the humor in a positive way. If you're a "Saturday night fever" or John Travolta fan,or just dig the 70's this movie is a nostalgic trip.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sweet and Funny
Review: This movie made me laugh out loud. I watched it once on a Friday night, and then a second time the following night (to relieve the tension and stress of watching the movie Seven alone, late at night). The characters are likeable, and the dancing and music lively and entertaining.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Light-hearted, feel good movie
Review: This movie made me smile, laugh and watch it over and over again. The acting does need a little polishing, but the actors do seem very sincere and seem to really enjoy what they're doing. The main character charms you with his quirkiness and aspirations. The female leads are beautiful and both very likeable as characters. Though the movie has some minor flaws, you almost feel guilty for noticing them because the movie is so sweet and charming in nature. It's a sincere, fun movie that almost makes me wish I was able to grow up and experience life in that funky era known as Disco.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A must see for disco fans out there!
Review: This movie was hilarious! Great music (though not original artists)! Filmed in Singapore. Well acted. A must see for disco fans! Relive Saturday Night Fever!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Disco Inferno
Review: This movie was hilarious. With the silliness of disco, and some over done real life issues, it was very entertaining. The acting is pretty decent. It was very fresh to see the effects of disco in 70's Singapore. An entertaining film for the family(not to young).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favorites
Review: This movie will be thoroughly enjoyable if it is not taken seriously. One gets the feeling watching it that sometimes the actors are making up their own dialogue, but it is entertaining. The dance sequences are very good, and there is a Adrian Pang and Medaline Tan and Annabelle Francis all have believable relationships with each other, be it attraction, or commpetition. The actors all fit the parts, and it doesn't feel like it was tailored to any actor's whims. As it was produced by Singaporeans, if that is a word, it doesn't present stereotypes. There are places where the props break the period, such as some of the 90's packages in the supermarket, but that is unavoidable in a place like Singapore where everything is torn down every few years...there are no '70s places left.
This movie is definitely worth a look.

Summary: "Saturday Night Fever" Done Asian Style...
Review: When Hock's friends drag him to see some funky dance movie, it's kicking and screaming. Yet one glimpse into disco's glitzy nightlife and he ditches his Bruce Lee obsession for a pair of bell-bottoms and permed hair. It's "Saturday Night Fever" all over again, from the butterfly collars to the sweaty dance-offs, but put a little Asian spin on, add a touch of spoof, sprinkle it with some dry humor and top it off with an advice-giving John Travolta look alike... well, could it get more fun than that?

Frankly, it wasn't as campy as it might sound. They didn't take it over the top, but kept it within the genre of "very good film," instead of making it slapstick. They dealt with some serious issues in relationships that seemed more real than devised for cinema. The acting wasn't always perfect, but the athleticism of the dancing was incredible, and the storyline was entertaining and actually refreshingly unique.

If you're a fan of the independent comedy, this is a great one.
