So we're never watching another John Travolta movie at Bad Movie Night. After "Urban Cowboy," it was unlikely anyway, but now we know to avoid. The only reason we watched this today anyway was because we didn't realize "Mommie Dearest" was almost three hours long. The regret is strong but at least now every time we see this on a bad movie list, we can check it off and tell you it's not worth it.
Did this movie have a plot? Hard to say since most of the time we couldn't tell where we were in a narrative arc. John Travolta is not a good person, sleeps with some lead dancer chick in spite of his girlfriend, gets the lead in a ballet/play/thing called Satan's Alley and the last fourth of the movie or so is just the performance. There are a LOT of montages and terrible 80s costumes and a whole lot of nothing for nearly two hours. You don't need to see "Saturday Night Fever" for this to make sense. Just don't watch it. Problem solved.
