Travolta Lights Up the Screen.

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2003)

The intelligence of SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER is probably due to John Travolta's hunk appeal and wild strut. It's amazing that Travolta can go from the rowdy but clean-cut Vinnie Barbarino to the foul-mouthed disco king Tony Manero and still be successful. The music really defines the era of disco and makes the film a big hit that is still popular even if disco is dead and gone. The street language is acceptable, but it also prevents the movie from being perfect. Altogether, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER is a very watchable movie highlighted by Travolta's dance solo. Very impressive.
4 out of 5
