Not a single laugh. There is no comedy in here even on the level of the lamest old sitcom. Some of the attempted humor is stomach turning. There's an extended "joke" where one man is repeatedly drugged while someone tries to push his wife into sex.
The only appeal of this film is seeing a few actors early in their careers, Jeff Goldblum and Deborah Winger. I also spotted an actress who later wound up in TV's Fame and another actor who would be on One Day at a Time. Too bad he's an Italian cast, ridiculously, as a Latino, and a bad caricature with a worse accent too.
Whether or not you like disco (most of it is forgettable and some is irritating garbage) this film doesn't give you almost any good performances. Only two songs performed in a supposed musical. The rest of the soundtrack is generic background. As George Clinton put it, disco is dumbed down funk, both lyrically and musically, like having sex with someone who only does it in one position their whole life.
The great Commodores lip sync for a single song, and it's intercut with awful attempts at comedy. Let us see them, damn it! At least we get to see Lionel Richie before he went solo and did bad pop ballads. For a dance film, we don't see anything close to good dancing.
Donna Summer, yes, she does stand out in an otherwise poor film. See it for her scene and to look at actors early in their career. Fast forward past the rest.
