Every now and then, a movie comes along, and makes an indelible, profound statement which lasts...in our minds...in our souls. Believe it or not, this is one of them. All the reviews written seem to say the same thing...great music, great dancing, great acting. I'd have given it five stars if not for the profanity, which would have been better if kept to a minimum so all age groups could appreciate it. Disco was short lived compared to crap stuff of these times, which doesn't want to die out yet. It had rythym and rhyme, and was understood. If you watch the movie thoroughly, like I had the opportunity to, you will pick up on a pretty scary message. I won't reveal that message, but I'll bet that funtrivia.com may have something about it under their movies section. If you are bright enough to pick up on that message, then that separates you from the rest of the people who have a short memory and can be duped all the time. I found that message shockingly profound! Enjoy it!Read full review
There are those who love disco. There are those who hate it. Those who hate disco may not be interested in this film at first. However, underneath the disco clothes and looks, this film contains an explicit deconstruction of the disco lifestyle as there was a dark side to the disco. Plus, Tony Manero and his friends have no thoughts for the future and indulge in drinking, drugs and sex on a daily basis, causing many problems in this film. Not to mention, this film does not make Tony's actions amazing but views them as bad choices that cause him to be miserable. That said, the writing is indeed top-notch, the acting is choice and it is joyful realistic as well as unsentimental and depressing in regards to the disco lifestyle. Makes disco seem even deader than it already is.

Although the music and dancing were very good, I didn't like the movie content. Too much profanity and the acting was subpar. Definitely not one of Travolta's better movies. If you like a good soundtrack and dancing sequences, buy this movie, otherwise, just purchase the soundtrack.

As the party planner for my office, I pick a movie theme each year; and, build a party around it. This year, Saturday Night Fever was the easy choice. With the movie playing on the screen, the soundtrack playing on CD, movie poster, lava lamp and disco ball, everyone could relate to the excitement of the '70s. (I still purchase VHS every chance I get.) Needless to say, a good time was had by all. Watching Saturday Night Fever is like visiting an old friend. So comfortable; just like your favorite pair of jeans.
Awesome timing! Came in really fast and looks in great shape.
