54

As I'm not old enough and even if I had of been I doubt I would have ended up in Studio 54. According to those who WERE there 54 is rife with many errors. Who the hell cares, it's one entertaining little film and SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER it is not. Another thing it is not is too the taste of all but if you ever spent any time in the gay clubs in the early Eighties you'll recognise many of the elements 54 deals with. By no means a great film it does have one outstanding performance from Mike Myers who is absolutely perfect as 54 owner Steve Rubell. I'm serious, it may the best non-comedic role he'll ever do! Worth a look for the curious or those who survived that dreadful era otherwise take a pass.
