Perfect

John Travolta stars as a Rolling Stone reporter who travels to Los Angeles to investigate a drug case and decides to write an expose of the health-club craze of the 1980s. Reporter Adam Lawrence (Travolta) sets out to trash the fitness craze as just a replacement of the shallow singles bar scene of the 1970s. He even has a title in mind: "Looking for Mr. Goodbody." As he researches his story, Adam meets Jessie (Jamie Lee Curtis), a sexy fitness instructor who has little use for scribes like him. Adam charms the reluctant Jessie, and before long the hot couple is working out together--in more ways than one. Suddenly Adam is faced with a quintessential dilemma of journalism: Can he be Jessie's lover and still ridicule her friends and workplace

  Not perfect!
  
  Overall thought this film was fairly boring, not a very compelling story line. Good sound track though.

John Travolta: Staying Alive
- 16 Jul 2007
The kid looks like he can't believe it, and at the same time, like he knows he's the shit; there's no-one can touch him. He's 22, with long, wavy 1976 hair and an ear-to-ear grin, and he's telling the man with the microphone about his first lead role in a feature film, which will be out next year. 'It's called Saturday Night Fever, and it's gonna be HOT!' he simpers. John Travolta hasn't made a musical in a quarter of a century. If Hollywood is ever held to account for its errors of omission,... Read more
