A Rolling Stone reporter (John Travolta) seduces an aerobics instructor (Jamie Lee Curtis) while doing a story on health clubs for singles.

John Travolta continues his wearisome trek through America's fleeting enthusiasms, though this time he arrives a day late (wasn't aerobics over a couple of years before this?) and a few dollars short.

Pic is guilty of the sins it condemns - superficiality, manipulation and smugness.

1.5/5

A DOA romantic drama whose lone cultural legacy is that well-memed GIF of John Travolta thrusting his pelvis in a precariously perched pair of junk-hugging jockeys.

I'm not going to say this is a good movie, but it's not quite as bad as a lot of the ratings would indicate. What makes this mediocre film appear to be even less than mediocre is the fact that the 80's just didn't age well. If the flick comes off as cheesy and shallow, well... the 80's were largely cheesy and shallow. Just my opinion as one cat who survived them.

One of the most underappreciated films of the 80's and of Travolta's career. The plot is based on the real life Rolling Stone articles of the late 70's and the film is a good representation of the times.

An unrecognized film, destroyed by the critics, and yet it is a very good movie : a cult film.

Between a 3/10 and 4/10, Pic is guilty of the sins it condemns - superficiality, manipulation and smugness.
