Ky W 08/07/2022 Beyond amazing campy cheesy family fun. Great music. See more Grant H @RT95929188 2d Almost indescribably bad! In the roller disco world where brown is the predominant colour and one is treated to a tightrope walker’s attempted self-emasculation, not even the radiant beauty of Olivia Newton John can save this woeful milieu of kitsch, pathetic script and incongruous set dances. One of the worst!

I find it to be an amazingly good and uplifting escapist flick. From watching the making of Xanadu, it was fascinating how the people producing it all of a sudden got settled with Gene Kelly. What a great choice that was. And then they got settled with ELO. And then they decided they better do roller disco. It is almost like they’re making this thing on the fly and sometimes it feels like it. But it’s a feel good movie in a way because it’s about you know believing in yourself and believing in the power of true love. In a way, it has a little bit of a princess bride vibe to it for me, although I’m sure others would disagree. But Jeff Lynn’s music? Just spectacular. So to summarize, Gene Kelly, Jeff Lynne, an old Ford Woody station wagon with a surfboard, and maybe the greatest treat of all. The pan Pacific auditorium in Los Angeles, which has since burned down. There’s just so many little pieces in this movie to love, I can look past the unusual choice for lead actor. And I can look past the somewhat clunky storyline.

This to me is a guilty pleasure. The music is fantastic and the animation sequence by Don Bluth is very cute. Where are the movie falls apart is one the preposterous storyline and two the screenplay is ridiculously camping over the top. Olivia Newton-John is charming as the muse who inspires a young man to live his dream. Still if you're feeling kind of blue this movie is a great pick me up. The finale basically makes the whole movie worthwhile. The middle kind of drags a little bit unfortunately but the spirit of the movie is fun. See more Read all reviews
