Movie Reviews of 54
Movie Review: Interesting but by no means engrossing
Summary: 3 Stars
It veers into melodrama more than a few times. Mike Meyers is cast against type and pulls it off wonderfully. He is perhaps the lone cast member who emerges with his acting reputation intact.
I find the story of Studio 54 a fascinating one. It was the right club in the right city at the right time, and co-run by just the kind of guy (Rubell) who would never have been permitted in had he not owned the place.
I wasn't expecting "54" to be a documentary, but it somehow disappoints on many levels. Phillippe and Campbell are pretty enough, but not particularly solid actors. They look and sound the same in every movie I've seen them in. The time spent on his pursuit of her and their brief relationship could have come out of any of a hundred movies, so it kind of bogs this one down.
This movie seems to have been painted by the numbers. Perhaps it was a better film on paper (or before Miramax reportedly meddled with it), but the end result was more bland than glam.
Movie Review: better than last days but no boogie nights!
Summary: 3 Stars
NOT As bad a film as most critics made it out to be... Phillippe is believable at playing the innocence and Mike Meyers excels...the only gripe is that although this is a far more involving film then The Last Days Of Disco.. the soundtrack just plain ... ...it seems LDODisco got all the essential Disco tunes (check out the awesome soundtrack)& this film got the sloppy seconds..that said the recreation of the club (ive read) is spot on. one other gripe is that it makes out that if you lived in "jersey" at that time Manhattan is this hallowed place that you would never venture too..(check out the 1ST 20mins with Phillippe & his mates to see what i mean)Movie Review: It could be much better.
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie has NO PLOT. It's boring, Salma Hayek is horrible in it, where is all the decadence and excess??? I swear to God the E TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORY was way more shocking than this movie. They should have filmed it from Steve Rubell's perspective. How did Ryan Philipe's character get accepted into NYU if he can't even talk properly? Neve Cambell is pitiful.
I gave this 3 stars because of meyers's perfomance and it does has a great soundtrack. Aside that it is a BIG disapointment.
Movie Review: Studio 54
Summary: 3 Stars
54 is a movie starring Ryan Phillippe, Selma Hayak, Neve Campbell, and Mike Myers. The movie is obviously about Studio 54. While the movie was enjoyable, it could have been so much better. Like the review above states, where were the drugs, the sex, and the good music? Why didn't they focus more on the celebrities and beautiful people going to Studio 54? Instead they focus on the people who work there. It's still an interesting plot but it could have been better.Movie Review: A guilty pleasure
Summary: 3 Stars
Though the acting is not Oscar material, the people are pretty to look at and the music is fun to listen to. This is the type of movie that is a guilty pleasure to people that won't admitt it. So if you have nothing to do on Friday nite, this will help pass two hours of your time
