1.5/4  Saturday Night Fever
I know that this movie came before Grease, but John Travolta and his friends play the exact same roles on both movies, and it was really predictable. Also I found that there was no one significant problem to be solved, but manyh smaller on... (read full)

0.5/4  Saturday Night Fever Quick Review
John Travolta gives a solid peformance. The story is just not there. I know a lot of movie fans call this a classic and I respect there opionion, but I 100% disagree. This is far from a classic. Skip It.

5/5 Great twoforone

You can't beat the soundtracks in these movies. John Travolta was a great dancer and these movies, especially Staying Alive, did not get the credit it deserved. Finola Hughes and Cynthia Rhodes were amazing and their dancing was the best. I'm a fan...always will be...

5/5 disco dvd

The Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive DVD's were really enjoyable to watch. I threw a 70's theme party for my husbands 50th birthday and I played the DVD's while I played other Disco music during the party. We watched Staying Alive later that night and got a kick out of the styles.

3/5 one good and one bad

Saturday Night Fever was filled with dancing and energy. It is a video time capsule to the Diaco scene. Filled with the music of the Bee Gees, this film made you dance and still does.

John Travolta made his starring debut as Tony, far away from his Barbarino character from Welcome Back Kotter (season one of Kotter is on DVD). Tony lived for his club dancing, until he made a girl and fell in love. In Travolta's first starring vehicle, you can see the star power coming through

In the sequal to Fever, Staying Alive, Tony is now a dancer auditioning like a gypsy for Broadway dancing roles. The film starts with song "Far from Over" over the credits, foreshadowing the overlong and overdrawn sequel.

Travolta, whose dance was a marvel in Fever, seem to prance around like a deer lost in the headlights. The script written by Sylvester Stallone (who also directed) tries to do a dancing Rocky, but this vehicle tanks on the ropes. The dancing seem uninspiring and over rehearsed.Tony does take the lead on Broadway, but loses the films audience. We tend not to care in the long run

The highlight of Alive is Steve Inwood, in the role of Broadway director. He has a flair with his intensive to the play. His role is in a few scenes of the movie, but he steals everything when he is on the film.

I give this double feature three stars for fever and None for Alive
