United States |
|
"54 is an entertaining and surprisingly serious look at the infamous New York discotheque, with a genuine nostalgia for the late '70s and early '80s, tempered by a healthy dose of jaundice" | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Decadence has rarely looked so pathetic, lethargic and dispiriting as it does in this listless film." | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"The strongest element of '54' is its star Ryan Phillippe (...) The movie might have worked had it decided which story it wanted to tell" | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"Amusing and holds interest largely thanks to its re-creation of a glitzy, flamboyant era, not to mention its soundtrack of disco songs that sound a lot better today than 20 years ago" | POS |
|
United States |
|
"Too often, the film is more like a soundtrack with visuals than a well constructed, fully developed motion picture." | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"It's a noble effort, but aficionados and the mildly interested are recommended to seek out VH-1's excellent Studio 54 documentary in lieu of this shallow morality play." | NEU |
United Kingdom |
|
"It looks attractive, and is enlivened somewhat by the soundtrack's obligatory disco dinosaurs, but those expecting any real insight into the 70s club scene will come away hugely disappointed" | NEG |
|
United States |
|
"Director Mark Christopher gives the picture a brisk pace and a colorful, party-like mood that makes the experience painless and sporadically even enjoyable" | NEU |
|
United States |
|
"Simultaneously repulsive and charming, hedonistic and oddly paternal, Myers steals every scene he's in. It's a great performance that deserves to be in a much better film." | NEG |
