John Badham's film (his best to date), a zeitgeist picture that captures the disco subculture of the 1970s like no other work, features a star-making performance from John Travolta who dominates every frame. ...read the complete Saturday Night Fever movie review at EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)

John Travolta, fresh off of "Kotter" and "Carrie," in the role that made him a superstar (and also spawned a stupid sequel I have yet to see), plays Tony Manero, a kind of dim Brooklynite who works in a paint store during the week, and on Saturday ...read the complete Saturday Night Fever movie review at Ted Prigge

Few films managed to capture the spirit of its times as thoroughly and successfully as SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER did.

What we have here is a movie that is stuck in its own time bubble. Quite possibly the majority of the purchases will be from those that saw it in the cinema all those years ago. This is a shame, as even I was able to appreciate how good this movie ...read the complete Saturday Night Fever movie review at DVDActive (Malcolm Campbell)

It's the movie that made John Travolta (Grease, Two of a Kind) a superstar, and a quintessential film of the 1970s. Unfairly maligned by some, possibly because of its association with one of the most reviled forms of popular music ever created, Disco, thi ...read the complete Saturday Night Fever movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

Time and the selectiveness of memory has recorded Saturday Night Fever as a fun romp about disco and little more.

It holds up beautifully, mainly because it puts the characters and their flaws first and the disco nightlife second. Travolta remains an amazing, graceful presence on the dance floor. ...read the complete Saturday Night Fever movie review at efilmcritic.com (Collin Souter)

`Saturday Night Fever'' was Gene Siskel's favorite movie, and he watched it at least 17 times.

The video transfer of Saturday Night Fever fell within the typical DiscoVision transfers. Some sections are too bright, others are too dark. The image is mostly dark and the night scenes contain almost no detail. Colors are a bit sharp and harsh. It's ...read the complete Saturday Night Fever movie review at MCA DiscoVision Library
