A lot of people hated this movie. Sure, it's sugar-coated as hell and if you watch it too much it will rot your teeth ... but so what? If you like the music of ELO and ONJ you'll love the movie. The soundtrack alone is worth it. Go get the popcorn, put on your Don Johnson hair, wear a high collar shirt, and go back in time to the 1980's.
People are just dumb and ignorant!! It's just a fantasy love story movie!!! I liked it when it came out on HBO back in 1981. A wonderful Musical Movie and with Gene Kelly a legend from Singing In The Rain!! Only Cultivated people will know the art of this movie!!!! XANADU ROCKS!!!!
Did I miss something? This movie was great. I remember watching it as a kid and I just got it for Christmas of this year. I can't wait to see it again.
This may sound strange. . .but I sometimes wonder which came first; the soundtrack or the script. Because it's almost like they tried to write a movie around the tracks. The songs were definitely better planned than the film. In some ways, I see potential but it's like the makers were so excited about their concept that they didn't bother to work on the planning to pull it off.
I feel bad for Beck, he probably just wanted to branch out in his acting style and try something new so he wouldn't be clumped into just an actiony type of actor. I wish it didn't bomb so bad since hes really pretty good.
This movie came out hot on the heels of Grease. The studio tried to quickly cash in on Olvia Newton Johns huge popularity and success at the time. So they cooked up this quick hammy vehicle. It bombed, but the soundtrack was a hit. The only bright spots are the musical numbers from Olivia & ELO. Also a nice animated sequence from Don Bluth. The rest is hard to sit through. It's so dated and boring.
it's Shit!
