When I first saw this movie, I thought this movie was excellent. It gave me the same sense of an exciting dance movie that Saturday Night Fever delivered.
I do not understand all the negative reviews, some people are hard to please out there or they would probably like something that I would probably think mediocre or uninteresting.
This movie was interesting. It had a good storyline and I could relate to the character of Chili. Similar to Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever.
This movie was as good as Saturday Night Fever if not better. It deserved more popularity worldwide given how big a global smash hit Saturday Night Fever was. Lorenzo Lamas' character was as interesting as John Travolta's. Both playing young charismatic artistically very talented but down and out men struggling in New York trying to use their considerable talent to get the big break in life that will open a door to a better life. I think we all can relate to those aspirations. Like in Saturday Night Fever we get a glimpse of New York life and the party night life of the late 1970s and Body Rock in early to mid 1980s of these affable and good hearted young people trying to make it in life despite their challenges. This movie had a wonderful 80s dance music soundtrack and great dancing as good as if not at times better than Saturday Night Fever which was released 7 years earlier. I really like the young characters in this movie. They were good people who refused to be screwed by the music business. There were good acting performances all round. I since learned that the attractive partner of Chilli played by Michelle Nicastro passed away in November 2010 at the middle age of 50. May she rest in peace she was a fine actress in 1980s TV and Film drama. Sadly many talented young actors, actresses and Music stars of that era have passed away in the 21st century as that decade recedes further and further into the mists of history. However the music and movies of the 1980s will long into the future. I am talking hundreds of years into the future, yes the 1980s were that good, as future generations discover what an exciting decade in history in music, fashion, culture, drama, tv, movies and art the 1980s were. There will never be another decade like it it was unique.
I give this fine movie from the 1980s 10/10
