Saturday Night Fever

Summary: Up your nose with a rubber hose!
Review: For anyone old enough to remember the TV show "Welcome Back, Kotter", you may recall that John Travolta's acting career sprouted from very humble beginnings by playing the part of sweathog Vinnie Barbarino. Saturday Night Fever represents a giant leap for this young actor's popularity in the cinematic world. Of the two available video versions of this film, the R rated version may have situations and language unsuitable for juveniles; but it's better because of its more realistic depiction of life in the discos and streets of the mid-seventies.

Summary: The best one yet
Review: Fever is one of my favorite and best movies I've seen. Although the movie is a year older than me, I still enjoy it. You really get to see what the whole disco and new york scene was like. This is a must for a video collection. If you're a bee gees fan like I am then you need to see this to hear all the great gibb brother music.

Summary: Saturday Night Fever is a disco phenomenon movie!
Review: John Travolta is wonderful in his performance as a dancing Brooklyn instructor Tony Manero and the films soundtrack with the Bee Gees are highlights of what makes a great movie so entertaining to enjoy. And also of what the seventies were all about back then in a era to remember!

Summary: GREAT WHEN RELEASED IN 77 - EVEN BETTER NOW!
Review: Johnny Fontaine to Vito Corleone in the movie "The Godfather" on an acting role he covets- "I wouldn't even have to act, just be myself".

That describes Travolta's performance in "Saturday Night Fever". Full of piss and vinegar, fresh of his successful run on "Welcome Back Kotter", and at the age where the whole world is his oyster, Travolta uses every edge he's accumulated at his young age and catapults himself to stardom. When this movie was released, I was as anti-disco as they came. But years later after I discovered the dance club scene, I couldn't resist watching the movie that defined the disco era of the late 70s. But this movie is about much more than that, and that's why I enjoyed it, much less totally related to it. It's about that gang of guys we all know from whereever we come from- some 3-5 guys that work aimless jobs and spend their money at their local hot spot on the weekends. Their standing in their neighborhood and their prominence at their favorite hot spot is their identity, and that makes their mundane lives all worthwhile. That is until Tony Manero (Travolta) through his many mistakes, realizes the error of his ways and that he needs something more in his life. While the styles of the time - the music, the fashion, the jargon- is entertaining in itself, this story translates into any era. And Manero and his gang could be from any town in any decade. They're cliches on the way to nowhere until one of them realizes that there's so much more to grab for. Franz Dreschler utters the best line of her acting career in a bit role, and all the suporting cast members play great roles - though one wonders what the hell ever became of them. A thoroughly entertaining movie in every sense. Gen Xers and nearly aged types will get a real kick out of some of the cliched characters, as will those who actually knew people like that when they frequented such dance clubs. Can you say, cheesy?

Summary: Quite simply, a movie that perfectly captured the 1970's
Review: There is no superlative that could do this movie justice. I'm not sure that I have ever seen a movie that achieved it's desired effect the way that this one did. Perfectly cast, directed and costumed, this movie lauched the career of the incomparable John Travolta. The music, the dancing and the zeitgeist of the 1970's in two hours. Pick up the movie, the soundtrack and the wardrobe. This is one movie you will not only want to see but you'll want to live.

Summary: This is real disco(the kind with soul)The Bee Gees rock!
Review: I can't believe only one other person reviewed this!This is one of the coolest movies I've ever seen there is something in this movie for everyone.The soundtrack is even better because it never you never get tired of it,no matter how many times you put it on.I don't think I can say the same for this movie though,it's still a brilliant tribute to that music and most importantly,gave it massive popularity.
