Saturday Night Fever this movie isn't, but it's not supposed to be: It's a funny homage, a nod to the way that some movies are universal in their appeal. Go to Full Review Cary Wong Out Magazine 05/26/2022

This sweet film . . . shows in some cases a little disco and a whole lot of Brooklyn isn't such a bad thing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/16/2018 A fun movie that is filled with classic homages to two icons of an era, with the music that fueled the dreams of a generation. See more 02/11/2016 A Singaporean re-imagining of Saturday Night Fever, with a little Bruce Lee & "Play it Again, Sam" thrown in for good measure. See more 12/10/2012 A movie that struck a chord with many, especially those of us growing up in South East Asia. Hilariously scripted and brilliantly excuted. Check this moviw out, folks..a timeless dramedy. FULL STARS See more 03/10/2012 really enjoyed the whole movie. See more 08/07/2010 Extremely enjoyble if featherweight film basically transposing Woody Alllen's "Play It Again Sam" to the disco era and using Tony Manero as our hero's spiritual guide. Adrian Pang makes a great comic hero. Worth a look for fans of disco, Bruce Lee, and unconventional foreign movies. See more 09/02/2009 I LOVEEE this film! Simple story, but the characters are unforgetable. Funny with a big heart. See more Read all reviews
