Summary: Words Just Can't Describe This One
Review: Language fails as a medium for conveying observations about this film -- it is simply beyond intelligent description. I guess it could be called the movie which attempted to make its mark on society by establishing repeated pelvic thrusts as the core of a good aerobics workout but, despite the cast's best efforts, failed completely.

Summary: The Aerobics Pied-Piper
Review: Major popcorn movie. No, not Oscar-caliber by any means, but a fun way to kill a couple of hours. Very much a product of its era (the 1980's), which is part of its appeal these days, a major flashback. If you're looking to relive the days of the Jane Fonda workout backed by the music of the Pointer Sisters, Dan Hartman, Berlin and a young (then yet unknown) Whitney Houston duetting with Jermaine Jackson, this is what you've been looking for. The plot is somewhat laughable (John Travolta as an ethically questionable Rolling Stone reporter in lust/love with aerobics instructor Jamie Lee Curtis, who is trying to hide a bit of a dicey past), but it's still a good time, what with the workout scenes and all the talk of promiscuous sex. Ignore the story for the most part and concentrate on the silliness that was the 1980's and you're in for a treat. Jamie Lee Curtis shines as always (and was in the best physical shape of her life). Good flick, goofy and mostly light fare.

Summary: The song is over (but the malady lingers on)
Review: Now that John Travolta is back on Hollywood's A-list (unless "Battlefield Earth" sunk his career again), it is worth remembering why he was considered such a has-been during the 80's and early 90's.This movie is just plain BAAAAAAAAAAAD. I mean, it's not even amusing bad (like "A Night at the Roxbury", for example)--it's boring bad. Travolta plays a journalist for "Rolling Stone" magazine who joins a health spa to determine whether or not these establishments are "the singles bars of the 80's". Are you hooked yet?! ............. Didn't think so. Jamie Lee Curtis plays the obligatory love interest--a sexy, dedicated aerobics intructor and unfortunately there's little-to-no screen chemistry between her and Travolta. It probably looked good on paper at the time, but given the weak script and putrid direction, it didn't pan out. Personally, I thought Ah-NULD made a more believable on-screen lover with Ms. Curtis in "True Lies". If all this isn't bad enough, there's a completely pointless unrelated subplot on ethics in journalism and how Travolta's character becomes a champion for the First Amendment. On the edge of your seat, right?! ....................... Didn't think so. The only thing worth noting is an appearance by Laraine Newman (portraying an insecure fitness geek) to see what she did with her life after leaving "Saturday Night Live's" Not Ready for Prime-Time Players. I guess she was behind on her mortgage payments when they were casting this movie. My advice? Buy "Perfect" if the sleeping pills you're taking or the NyQuil you're gargling still won't cure your insomnia. Otherwise, fuggedaboutit.

Summary: THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL!
Review: Screw Siskel & Ebert and their thumbs(down). This movie is PERFECT because it has my two of my favorite people,star John Travolta and supporter Laraine Newman. Newman,Jamie Lee Curtis and Marilu Henner are three beautiful women who show their PERFECT bodies in this film. However,many say that this film is the worst of Travolta's career. Carly Simon didn't have to throw her bloody Mary in Travolta's face. This film is a must for Rolling Stone subscribers,health club members and of course,John Travolta fans.

Summary: Only because Jamie Lee looks so gorgeous....
Review: The movie is really pretty silly -- but frankly I like to watch the aerobics parts of this whenever I need inspiration to work out! I know I could never look like Jamie Lee, but still, she looks incredible (not just her bod but everything). And I like it that her character is fairly independent and gutsy and doesn't take a lot of crap from Travolta. And I think the movie DOES capture the aerobics culture of the '70s. It's funny, also, that Travolta's laptop is a novelty to Jamie Lee ("Is that a computer?") - when they're so commonplace now.

Summary: Anything but...
Review: Wow! Here it is. Very likely the worst movie I have ever seen. I had read about this film ages ago but never seen it. What was going on (if anything) in the minds of the people involved? This must be the movie which inspired "Showgirls". I thought that was the worst piece of doodoo until I watched this. No wonder so many actors' careers seemed to end with this one. I finally understand he meaning of "bad taste". Phew - quel stinko
