John Travolta continues his wearisome trek through America's fleeting enthusiasms, though this time he arrives a day late (wasn't aerobics over a couple of years before this?) and a few dollars short. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
A DOA romantic drama whose lone cultural legacy is that well-memed GIF of John Travolta thrusting his pelvis in a precariously perched pair of junk-hugging jockeys. Go to Full Review

The movie is devoid of laughs, thanks to James Bridges' characteristically humorless direction. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Apr 27 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme mesmo com o john Travolta, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom. See more Horror fan 4 Jan 18 What an underrated movie. Absolutely enjoyed this movie with Travolta and Curtis. I could watch JLC workout all day. Tim Treakle See more Helen H Jan 14 Pretty interesting movie. Different time of course, so different views. Well acted and quite believable especially as how reporters are in such short supply these days due to the issues that are shown here. Jan Wenner really was an ass, if he went along with this story line and Rolling Stone really did any of these things, it would reflect really poorly on the magazine. Worth watching for sure. I need to go do aerobics now! See more Dakota C Jan 10 This is a refreshing movie, especially nowadays when everything you watch is a remake. I love how there’s constant conflict throughout the movie and you don’t know what’s going to happen even in the last few minutes of the movie. See more Jennifer H @Jenny8675309 Jan 4 So bad, truly embarrassing. Travolta is just all wrong in this movie, although Jamie Lee Curtis does a decent job. They have zero chemistry. Flat writing, uninspired performances. And the infamous hip-thrusting scene goes on painfully long. Only good thing for me was Berlin's fantastic track Masquerade. 🔥 See more Albert W 12/04/2024 Not as bad as ratings say... but not great either. It was a decent blast from the past... makes me feel old though, seeing the young actors who are now much older like I am. See more Read all reviews
