So I was watching the first 10 minutes on netflix....

And so far I like it. For those who forget, the first ten minutes show Tony failing the audition, his two jobs which he both hates, his dingy apartment... and so far I like the tone of the movie. It's a nice continuation of Saturday Night Fever.

The only reason why I haven't continued watching it is because my internet started lagging and the stream went to sh**.

So I got curious and went to imdb (careful to avoid spoilers).... this movie gets a failing grade by most viewers. Does it really start to tank after the first 10 minutes?

Different tone, director and story than SNF.
Go into it with that mind set and you'll enjoy it.

One of my fav movies.
