Thank God It's Friday

Every late 70's disco stereotype is well represented, including a brief shot of a working 8-Track tape player. Want a funny flashback? Grab this one. (Want an Oscar-caliber movie? Get something else.) But then, where else can you get Donna Summer, The Commodores AND Jeff Goldblum all in the same film?

Thank God It's Friday

Donna Summer re-launching her career back then and becoming the undisputed "Disco Queen" of the 70's. Seeing some young faces of some actors of today is also a good reason to get it out, like Geoff (Jeff?) Goldblum from Jurrassic Park 1 and 2. Standout has to be Donna Summer as Nicole when she sings Last dance and gets everyone rocking.

If you like multi character movies, this will not disapoint. The mainly unknown cast are all rather likeable folks. and Paul Jabara is very good in his only screen role. YOu will be touched by the scene of him and a lovley young girl who are locked in a stairway but end up boogooing anyway. I especially love the plot about the fat guy and the tall thin schoolteacher who are mismatched by a dating service. Except for a few drug scenes, this is a terrific family picture, too. And the best you will ever see Debra Winger on screen. She looks soft and pretty. The music is very good, strong voices and tunes, much better than the dance music of the last 20 years. Check out this movie for some good light entertainment.

Debra winger, Jeff Goldblum,the disco queens herself Donna Summer?? That's right! You bet your sweet !!! LOL The new DVD has been digitally transferred to High Defenition!! It looks and Sounds GREAT !! Let's go back to Los Angeles 1978 ! Great soundtrack, Diana Ross, The Commodores, The Village People, Oscar winner songwriter for Last Dance Paul Jabara, Pattie Brooks, basically the entire Casablance label was featured in this film! This movie was rated PG, even tho it includes graphic drug use in many scenes, but back then I guess it was normal. I recommend this fun movie for a rainy Friday night!

It's Friday L.A. Tony Di Marco (Jeff Goldblum) runs the popular disco Zoo. Frannie and Jeannie are underage girls desperate to get in. Sue drags her stiff husband Dave into the club after their anniversary dinner. Gus and Shirley are a bad match on a blind computer date. Carl and Ken are hopeless in getting girls. The Commodores are performing for a dance contest but they don't have their instruments. Floyd is bringing their gear but he's hopelessly delayed. Nicole Sims (Donna Summer) sneaks into the club and becomes a star performer. Jennifer (Debra Winger) is a reluctant patron who keeps getting hit on. This is a bad disco movie although there aren't that many good disco movies. While it's not a good movie, it has a great song. It's an iconic song that defined a genre and an era. Otherwise, this is the Love Boat in a disco with less fun. The acting and the writing are inferior. Even interesting actors get lost in this muck.

.....DONNA SUMMER. All Donna Summers scenes are great and funny. If you get a chance take a look at her FEET, she has the biggest feet I have seen on a woman. Maybe her shoes were to small or something but it's hilarious. Donna steals the show when she sings the CLASSIC song "Last Dance" and leaves the Commadores looking a little flat. One other moment in the movie is when Donna breaks into the DJ box and trys to sing on the microphone over the track playing. The song is another classic of hers "Love To Love You Baby". Jeff Goldblum, Debra Winger and "Doris" from Fame are also thrown in the mix. Definitive Disco Nostalgia
