December 27, 2014In this spoof on 'Saturday Night Fever', a hotel chef named Gianni (pronounced Johnny) who bears an uncanny resemblance to John Travolta enlists the help of his dance-crazy friends in winning the heart of the girl of his dreams, Ilona. Ilona is a disc jockey in one of the local disco clubs, and even though Gianni doesn't dance, he still goes to the club every night just to see her. After one of Gianni's friends draws a mustache and glasses on a poster of John Travolta, they realize Gianni is a dead ringer for him and decide to do a full makeover to get Ilona interested. They do the makeover, and everything seems great, until they realize Gianni can't dance. They try to teach him but he just can't get it right, so they pretend he is contractually not allowed to dance. That doesn't work though, and he ends up dancing really well with Ilona. Ilona's boyfriend, the club's owner, sees through the disguise but isn't concerned since it is good for business. The owner is a real jerk though, and they end up exposing him for who he really is. This movie was probably pretty funny when it came out and 'Saturday Night Fever' was still a big deal, but it seems quite dated now. I still enjoyed it, and I'm glad I watched it.
