Audience Member A fun movie that is filled with classic homages to two icons of an era, with the music that fueled the dreams of a generation. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A Singaporean re-imagining of Saturday Night Fever, with a little Bruce Lee & "Play it Again, Sam" thrown in for good measure. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A movie that struck a chord with many, especially those of us growing up in South East Asia. Hilariously scripted and brilliantly excuted. Check this moviw out, folks..a timeless dramedy. FULL STARS Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member really enjoyed the whole movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely enjoyble if featherweight film basically transposing Woody Alllen's "Play It Again Sam" to the disco era and using Tony Manero as our hero's spiritual guide. Adrian Pang makes a great comic hero. Worth a look for fans of disco, Bruce Lee, and unconventional foreign movies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I LOVEEE this film! Simple story, but the characters are unforgetable. Funny with a big heart. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
