It\'s disco fever time and the hottest club in LA manages to be one of the lamest clubs in LA at the same time. It\'s Jeff Goldblum, Donna Summer, Debra Winger and the Commodores giving us a 90 minute infomercial about disco life.

While Sam manages to be correct that this film doesn\'t have a plot, he\'s wrong in that it isn\'t any fun. Sure, it\'s not going to be for everyone - pretty much if you won\'t even admit that there was any decent songs during the disco era (I say screw you) you\'re not going to like any of this. Not because it\'s chock full of disco (it\'s mostly funk music) but because disco was so content-free and so is this film.

With that in mind, if you are a fan of American Graffiti, you aren\'t at least adverse to this type of project.

We\'ll be honest with ourselves though. We think that this could be right on the fence of a do or don\'t, until Marv Gomez, "The Leatherman" has his big scene. Once he proclaims that everything besides dancing is "bullshit" the film gets a much needed injection of nonsense. From there on out, you\'re in for a good time and it becomes a definite do.

So put on your all-cotton shirt and your leather pants and enjoy some disco bologna. We certainly did.
