Disco: The Movie!

Rating: 7/10 (16 August 2015)

There is surprisingly more to "Saturday Night Fever" than just John Travolta in the white suit rocking out to the Bee Gees (you see some iconic images over time, they sort of symbolize the movie, what can I say?). We can all identify with these youthful fears of a dead-end job, a go-nowhere life, and that came through extremely well. And I love his meathead line delivery. But the scenes with Travolta and his friends, their woman hating (it's ugly), that all lost me. And it makes up a substantial part of the running time.
So, "Saturday Night Fever" . . . well, it kinda is all about the dancing. That's what it does best. The energetic dancefloor scenes, awesome soundtrack - it's flashy, calculated fun.
A star-making movie if ever there was one. And talk about that opening credits strut; he owned those streets.
7/10
