This is probably closer to what people expect Saturday Night Fever to be, only with less dancing and some degree of actual sexual/racial diversity. Perfectly dumb and with a very 70s comedic sensibility, though -- and I don't think I'm alone here -- I wish it had more Donna…

I feel like they could have done more with the film than just have it be in a club. I wanted to see some big things happen; I would have liked to see more of Nicole Sims on the screen than other people's characters, as some of them got super annoying.

The Black and queer cores of disco were relegated to the sidelines of the trend by the time it became popular enough to make movies about in 1978. Here the queers are the butt of the sight gags and Black people are only allowed to serve and entertain. It might as well be…

thought this was a ~vibes~ movie but even the vibes were harshed. everyone disrespects donna summer (by charging her cover and kicking her out of the dj booth smdh) and then even her "last dance" performance was kinda anti-climactic...

Enjoyed Floyd having to keep playing instruments for the cops, Leatherman’s energy and Last Dance. Comedy didn’t work for me at all. Maybe disco fans would get more out of this. Quietest disco ever, I probably would have been down playing the pinball machine all night if I…

Thank God It's Friday

This is a very plain average movie. It isn’t trying to be anything it’s not and it’s getting the message straight across. My biggest issue with this movie is just how slow and uneventful it is. The redeeming quality is the characters and some of the actors. 5/10
