Absolutely brilliant

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

John Travolta tries his best as writer for Rolling Stone magazine hoping to finish an unflattering piece on the faddish California health club scene, but complications arise after he falls in love with a sexy, sensitive aerobics instructor. Perfect-ly awful drama, shallow and dated, is surprisingly cynical about Rolling Stone and its ethics (this despite the fact the producers had the magazine's input and even cast its editor, Jann Wenner, in a supporting role!). Film does get a tiny bit of class from Jamie Lee Curtis, and supporting players Anne De Salvo as a photographer and Laraine Newman as a wallflower are more than respectable in clichéd roles. * from ****

I think this movie was great, Jamie Lee and John couldn't have been better! Especially the soundtrack, the songs really suited the movie. I have been looking for the soundtrack for ages, but no luck... I reckon it has a entertaining storyline, It's not the best film of JLC and JT but I'ts still worth watching. I've seen it quite a few times and It doesn't get old. I'm one of Jamie Lee Curtis' biggest fans, she has never looked better in this movie, her figure Is just to die for... And yes, she wears leotards for most the movie. Jamie has said herself "Jee, I was HOT", when she was watching the movie with her daughter Annie and one of her friends.

OK, I know this is a bad, bad movie. It's not like I have any "diamond in the rough" illusions about this actually being a good movie that's merely misunderstood. So why is it that I watch it every time it's on? I honestly love watching this film!Maybe it's the dated 80s setting and the "studly" guys that look utterly homosexual now. Perhaps it's the great lines, like Anne De Salvo looking directly into the camera and saying, "C'mon, guys, make me suffer," or Matthew Reed (in his one and only screen role) saying, "It was love at first sight. I took one look at those tits and my whole body got hard!" It could be John Travolta going through his aerobics routine with a sock in his jock, or Larraine Newman straddling the leg-spreader, proving that not every woman looks sexy in a leotard.Of course there's Jamie Lee Curtis calling Travolta a "sphincter muscle" three different times. There's also Jann Wenner gyrating his fat gut during the closing credits. How about the pointless scene where hundreds of Boy George fans storm the hotel, or Curtis "deleting" Travolta's article by merely backspacing (What kind of word processor is that)? There's even the premise that Rolling Stone is a serious news magazine - HAW HAW HAW!I seriously can't recommend paying money for this, but it's worth a watch if it comes on a local channel just for the sheer badness of it all. This is the definitive nadir of Travolta's career (check that...it is better than Battlefield Earth, but what isn't?) After this, even Look Who's Talking Now looks brilliant.

I too have seen this movie, many times. I agree it is not Travolta or Curtis' best work but it was not meant to be Academy Award caliber. It is what it is, a fluff movie that fit the time it was made. I was an aerobics instructor at the time and enjoyed the movie. It is still fun now to look back at the hair and clothes and hear the music. What generation can look back and not say to themselves "what was I thinking wearing that?!" Curtis has never looked better-well maybe in the movie with Arnold when she did her little dance and who does not mind looking at Travolta for 90 minutes or so?Travolta, for all intensive purposes, plays the same character in each movie so why are we ever surprised. Curtis was trying to shed her 'flat chested, school girl in jeopardy' image and did a good job of it.
