54
1998 - 93 min. - Color
Genre: Drama
Rated R
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
This broadly drawn fable takes place at the height of legendary Studio 54's delirious heyday.  A cast of attractive youngsters portrays fictionalized employees and clientele of the glitzy urban playland.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
Mark Christopher wrote and directed this look back at the Disco Era when the popular Studio 54 was at its apogee in the late '70s. With obvious comparisons to Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights (1997) and Whit Stillman's The Last Days of Disco (1998), the story introduces working-class 19-year-old Irish-American Shane O'Shea (Ryan Phillippe), who has lived with his father and siblings since the death of his mother when he was 12. Shane quickly rises from busboy to bartender at Studio 54, co-owned and managed in a paternal manner by entrepreneur Steve Rubell (Mike Myers). Busboy Greg Randazzo (Breckin Meyer) and Greg's wife, Anita (Salma Hayek), the club's coat check girl, become Shane's new friends, and he encounters the possibility of romance with soap star Julie Black (Neve Campbell). The story spans the summer of 1979 until the decline of Studio 54 a year later with IRS investigations, followed by the arrest and jailing of Rubell. Costumes by Ellen Lutter capture the glitter and glam-glitz of the period. --- Bhob Stewart

A fictionalized version of the real-life Studio 54 story, this look back at the disco era is notable chiefly for a remarkable performance from Mike Myers as the ill-fated entrepreneur Steve Rubell. Unavoidable comparisons to the previous year's Boogie Nights (1997) sank any chances that debut writer-director Mark Christopher might have at critical and box-office success. Justifiably so: 54 (1998) simply doesn't come close to the feverish energy and sprawling narrative of its audacious competitor. Despite the film's "R" rating, the proceedings simply feel too toned down and soap-scrubbed a portrayal of the legendary bacchanalia that was Studio 54 in its heyday. The film's small-town boy-makes-good premise briefly sputters to life with a thematic flirtation with the uncertain sexuality of lead Shane O'Shea (Ryan Phillippe), but these promises of narrative energy never materialize into much. The cast of young actors is uniformly forgettable in its underwritten roles with only the elder Myers standing out, though notably so in a supporting turn that significantly beefs up the actor's resume. Myers is the only memorable element in an otherwise flaccid picture, however. Trying as hard as it can to be another Saturday Night Fever (1977) or the aforementioned Boogie Nights, the best 54 can muster is a passing resemblance to a bell-bottomed Cocktail (1988). --- Karl Williams
