Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 54 is an awesome movie
Review: I love disco muic & the whole disco scene. Mike Myers portrayed Steve Rubell so well. I think that Ryan Phillippe is going to be a round for a long time, he is such a great actor & I hope to work with him one day.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A guilty pleasure
Review: 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

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you've done this sort of thing, you'll love the movie.
Review: Clubbing is for certain people. So is this film. My friends and I loved it, because it portrayed the dreams that every good club gives you so well. In the end you always wake up, but the memories of the feelings and the people stay with you forever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Completely Awesome!!
Review: This movie is an awesome movie and a fairly accurate account as to what the club was really like (from what I've heard) I'm 15 but this movie got my loving Disco music, their clothes and everything about the late 70's. (Except for all the social problems, pretty much areas outside of the real world). Ryan Phillipe and Mike Myers were superb as was the rest of the cast. I feel anyone who wants to know what it was like or wants to get their grooves back on again should rent this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not anything great
Review: When I went to the video store i was looking for a ryan phillippe movie, because I tought he did an excellent job in I know what you did last summer. When I watched it I was a little dissapointed, but Ryan did an okay job. This movie is worth seeing for Ryan's performance, and he is not a poor actor who can't anchor a film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A very bad movie
Review: This is a very bad movie the story is stupid and is all the performances except the one that came from Mike Myers I didi not know he was such a good actor I have to say his performance impressed me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent for the Music, and last 10 minutes
Review: As a veteran of the 70's disco party, 54 was a welcome crazy and non-serious look at that period. (I mean how can you take all that fun and dancing till dawn too serious??, it was a time of fun and abandon) At the same time it took on a serious tone about the "true" things that were happening during the late 70's. (Kind of the roaring 20's all over again)..Ya know we all felt that post watergate, post Vietnam, etc...(Things that I and most of us grew up with and were tired of thinking about.) Again a time to have fun, and not worry about all the "down" stuff that had happened the past 15 years or so.

The best part however was the end when "stars on 54" performed "If you could read my mind". Viola Wills did an excellent job with that remake in the early 80's, and I can remember many a night dancing to that song, but the "stars" really go the distance with that song. The best reason to get this video is for the ending, and the credits, when a great remix of "knock on wood" is played.

P.S. i still listen to all my old 70's disco ,music daily, and really don't care about some of the remarks that I shoud join the 90's. After all Cher has really mad a fantastic comeback with some of the best "dance/club" music in over 15 years.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: As empty headed as disco was
Review: The only saving grace 54 has is Meyers suprisingly effective,i'd like to see Meyers do more than his Austin Powers shtick.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: As empty-headed as disco was
Review: This is a good example where a first-time director gets a heap of money (from Miramax) to "document" a particular subculture and fails miserably. From of all its hype, Studio 54 was supposed to be another world entirely, a place where excess and truly eccentric characters thrived. What the viewer gets is a film that completely glosses over all eccenticities and parades a collection of woefully underdeveloped characters across the screen. Ryan Phillipe is a poor actor and cannot hope to anchor the film; Salma Hayek, neve Campbell and the rest of the cast have so little material to work with that they become nothing more than window dressing. The only saving grace 54 has is Mike Meyer's surprisingly effective performance -- I'd like to see Meyers do more than his Austin Powers shtick. For a truly superior look at disco subculture, check out Whit Stillman's The Last Days of Disco, a film that shows disco as a social outlet in the lives of twentysomethings in 1981.
