Movie Reviews of Staying Alive (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: WOW!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
First off, John Travolta looks stunning in this movie. He is very fit and trim. Finola Hughes is gorgeous and very elegant. Cynthia Rhodes is a knockout and portrays her character, Jackie, with so much emotion. I think this is a fantastic movie. Since I was too young to see Sat Night Fever when it first came out, I didn't really understand all the ins/outs of Tony Manero. Having seen SNF as an adult, I really didn't like it and I thought that Staying Alive could have stood on its own. The plot was good, the dancing was fantastic, as was the music, and the actors were all really good. I think this is an all around excellent movie and it is absolutely one of my favorites. I actually watch this one quite a bit.
Summary of Staying Alive (Widescreen Edition)
Highly recommended--for Saturday Night Fever completists and connoisseurs of bad movies. This notable dud updates the story of Tony Manero (John Travolta), the disco prince from Fever, as he heads across the river to Manhattan and tries to make it as a dancer on Broadway. Someone had the bright idea of handing Staying Alive to Sylvester Stallone, who directed and cowrote the screenplay (and pops up in a shameless two-second cameo). Stallone gives the picture the pumped-up Rocky treatment, and completely misses the dance-floor excitement of Saturday Night Fever. Travolta tries to recapture his signature role, but this is one of the movies that put his career into its pre-Pulp Fiction deep freeze. The action culminates in a laughable Broadway opening night that really should be seen to be disbelieved. --Robert HortonA continuation of the story of Tony Manero from \""Saturday night fever,\"" focuses on his attempt to make it as a professional dancer on the Broadway stage.
