I don't know what people are expecting from this movie but it is what it is. It is not the fluffy disco movie that people think it is.
This movie leaves many issues unresolved and is actually the snapshot of a period of time in the lives of the characters. They are dysfunctional - they have loads of problems. That's what makes it real.
Saturday Night Fever is a great movie from a great period of time. The music serves as a backdrop to a time in the lives of the people in the movie.
If you've never watched the movie and you get the DVD, watch the VH1 "Behind The Hits" presentation on the DVD before watching the movie to make it even more real.
