Myers exploits every vicious, self-hating line that comes his way.

Reviews for 54
Top CriticSanitised and dramatically inept retelling of the history of one of the great sleazy success (and failure) stories. Best head out to a nightclub instead.

Top CriticNeither a great night out nor a great night in.

Top CriticI was hoping to be able to recommend 54 from a camp point of view, possibly the next Showgirls. But it's not. The fact is it's so uninvolving, it's not even interesting enough to be bad.

The 1970s were great times, but most viewers could hardly come to that conclusion based on this film.

A la mayoría de los personajes les falta un desarrollo más inteligente y apegado a la realidad

"54" starts out as an exploration of a culture based on the cultivation of surfaces, and winds up all surface itself.
01/01/00
The trite story is a letdown because it traverses a predictable arc.
01/01/00
Little more than stock characters acting out a generic drama of sin and redemption against a lascivious backdrop that is far more interesting than the story it serves.
01/01/00
It's all strobe lights and glitz, no substance. It's sort of like the musical era it covers.
01/01/00
Mecca of cool turns out lukewarm.
01/01/00
A mish-mash of bad writing, poor acting (except Myers), amateur directing and mediocre production credits.
04/09/05
Somehow, some way, the supremely disappointing 54 has made the historically hip haven of hedonism... boring.
01/01/00
The new disco era film 54 is Fame on drugs, a low-grade Saturday Night Fever.
01/01/00
One can only hope "54" will hammer the final nail in disco's coffin. It's music that I don't want stayin' alive.
07/01/04
It's a hollow shell of a film, rife with plot twists that go nowhere.
01/01/00
Call it Boogie Nights Lite.
01/01/00
The movie is flat, logy, and amateurish -- a Scotch - tape- and - balsa - wood job.
01/01/00
Let me pause for a minute to think of a more boring subject for a movie ... Sorry. I give up.
07/23/07
Never achieves what it sets out to accomplish.
