Quick Reviews!!

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2004)

The story of the World's Greatest Club, 54 deals more with the lives of the club's employies and fans rather than with the club and the scandal surrounding it. Maybe if Cameron Crowe had directed this it would have been a lot better. The characters are not the most compelling or likable, but the Club itself looks like excellent fun. Myers is probably the best here, hamming his role perfectly, Neve is good but her character is not very appealing, Hayek unfortunately is given little to do, but does it well, and Phillipe's character is annoying, but he proves he isn't just a pretty boy by giving an okay performance. He has done better in other roles, just like the rest of the cast, but that isn't the fault of the actors. The story isn't involving enough, but there are some funny, and touching moments. The film was severely cut before release, maybe the original version would be better. The costumes and the music, and the sex and drugs are what keep this from being boring, but with a little more thought, and less cuts, this could have been very good 6 out of 10
