Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
There's a lot in the movie that's sad and painful, but after a few years what you remember is John Travolta on the dance floor in that classic white disco suit, and the Bee Gees on the soundtrack.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Mr. Travolta is deft and vibrant, and he never condescends to the character, not even in a scene that has Tony and Stephanie arguing about whose Romeo and Juliet it is, Zeffirelli's or Shakespeare's.
– Janet Maslin,

rotten:
In the end, the real killer is the movie's abject sincerity.

rotten:
Travolta's characterization, given the script and directorial demands, is okay. It will please the already-committed; but it won't win him any new fans.
– A.D. Murphy,

fresh:
A small, solid film, made with craft if not resonance.
