Unique, Interesting, and Excellent

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 1999)

My oh my! I loved "54" very much! The film was very unique, very interesting, and different than most films! I loved the set of the night club itself and I loved the attitude and nature of the characters in this film. What I was a little disappointed about was the fact that they didn't really have a lot of the celebrities that went to Studio 54 back then such as Bianca Jagger, Liza Minnelli, Halston, Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, Grace Jones, Cher, just to name a few. And where is the other owner of Studio 54, Ian Schweggar (or however you spell his name)? The movie I guess you could say highlighted the lives of the more common people rather than the big stars and icons who were at 54 every night during the late 1970's. My cousin, Jimmy, went to Studio 54 back in the late 1970's when he was a teenager. I think he was the same age as Shane during that period.
Yet I give this film a lot of credit. It was very glamorous, very exciting to watch, and above all, it was so much fun to watch! Ryan Phillepe is a great actor, very talented, and he is soooo cute! Reese Witherspoon is a lucky girl! Mike Meyers wasn't the best Steve Ruebell, but I can't really imagine anyone else to play the part of the famous S.R.!
This movie is a must see!
