Look Mr. Kotter, I Can Dance!

Rating: 5/10 (20 September 2007)

It would be almost impossible to believe that John Travolta received an Academy Award nomination for this movie if the Academy didn't have a long history of nominating films and performances that left us scratching our heads at what they were thinking.
Actually, Travolta's not bad in this movie; if anything, he's absolutely the only reason to watch it now, because the movie itself just isn't very good. It's got groovy music, coiffed hair and 1970s disco atmosphere dripping from every frame, but it's primarily an excuse for a bunch of flashy dance numbers without the burden of stringing them together with anything resembling a real plot. It's hokey and harmless, but I can think of a thousand other movies off of the top of my head that would be more worth your time than this.
Grade: C+
