Disco classic holds up after all these years., 5 January 1999

A true classic. Donna Summer as a wanna-be diva, Jeff Goldblum as a player, and Terri Nunn (lead singer of Berlin) as a KISS loving teen! Pretty good soundtrack is made up for with this urban club tale. When Donna lets loose with Last Dance at the end you know it's all good!
