Tony is an uneducated Brooklyn teenager. The highlight of his week is going to the local disco, where he is the king of the dancefloor. Tony meets Stephanie at the disco and they agree to dance together in a competition. Stephanie resists Tony's attempts to romance her, as she aspires to greater things; she is moving across the river to Manhattan. Gradually, Tony also becomes disillusioned with the life he is leading and he and Stephanie decide to help one another to start afresh. (Paramount Home Entertainment)

An exceedingly superficial film lacking a cohesive plot and notable acting performances. However, the dance sequences, costumes, and notably the music and editing contribute significantly to my overall impression of 30%...

When I first saw the film and thought it would just be another Grease, I was pleasantly surprised. The Bee Gees' songs evoke a slightly different vibe, but this is a proper drama that also boasts beautiful songs and excellent dance numbers. But the story takes the lead, and that's good because it's excellent and wonderfully directed.
