Five years later, Tony Manero's Saturday Night Fever is still burning.
Now he's strutting toward his biggest challenge yet: succeeding as a
dancer on the Broadway stage.
Stolid sequel of Saturday Night Fever doesn't
live up to the quality of its predecessor, even annoys with Travolta
as a dislikeable nag and with a third-rate 80s soundtrack; the show finale is a bit amusing, though.
Halliwell (no star): "Fragile sequel to Saturday Night Fever, with some of its frenetic quality but none of its impact."
Maltin**:
"...fashioned by director/cowriter Stallone into a ROCKY-type vehicle
for Travolta...Broadway show finale, Satan's Alley (billed, with amazing
accuracy, as a musical trip to Hell), is a camp classic, but neither
the script nor the music...are in a class with the original 1977 film."
