Following a dance contest at the local disco THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY features early performances by Debra Winger and Jeff Goldblum. Musical support comes from Summer (singing "Last Dance") and the Commodores.System Requirements:Run Time: 89 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG UPC: 043396072824 Manufacturer No: 07282 Amazon.com: An unusual collision of the innocent and the decadent, Thank God It's Friday captures the disco era in all of its naive glory. Multiple storylines twine through an enormous nightclub: Two underage girls (one of them Terri Nunn, future lead singer of new wave rock group Berlin) desperately want in so they can enter a dance contest; the club's owner (Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park, The Fly) makes a bet with his dj that he can woo a beautiful married woman--whose uptight husband ends up taking drugs and loosening up more than he ever expected; a klutzy girl (Debra Winger, Terms of Endearment, in one of her first film roles) gets ditched by her best friend and flounders around the club looking for love; and an aspiring singer (Donna Summer, whose "Last Dance" won the Academy Award for Best Song) pleads with the dj to let her sing. Though not as richly written as American Graffiti or Dazed and Confused, Thank God It's Friday aspires to a similar meandering mix of melancholy and hope. It ends up being a pretty honest snapshot of the disco era: Sweet, shallow, and not as campy as you'd expect. For all the sex and drugs, in the end it's all about getting your groove on. As one character puts it, "Dancing--Everything else is bulls**t!" --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Lovely DonnaIt had to be the counterpart for SNF, but didnt have the impact. Great are the performances of the Commodores and off course the one and only Diva Donna Summer. Great cult film, with a lot of alltime dance classics!! Rating: - Thank God its on dvd! It's Friday and everyone is going to the hot new disco. The Commodore's are scheduled to play if Floyd shows up with the instruments and Nicole dreams of becoming a disco star. Other characters are there to win the dance contest, or to put a little excitement into a fifth anniversary. Written by Tony Fontana [..] Rating:  - Disco moviesThis is good disco, dance, and comedy movie. While I lke dance movies, but I don't really lke comedy, but this one isn't silly. The people have real problems and they find real solutions to them. Rating: - Face it,.. Disco will Never die.Besides of the great disco music, I love this movie for the performance of the Queen of disco, Donna Summer, she's the best,is 1978 and she plays this singer wanna be, begging the DJ to listen to her demo, when she sings 'Last Dance' is the climax of the movie. Rating:  - A hot Summer night at the disco!!"Thank God it' Friday" is a snapshot of the late seventies Disco scene. It does take one back to a time when afros and platforms ruled and everyone on the dance floor was a star! Finally available on DVD, but with no extra features except sub titles and choice of language. The "story" takes place in one night at a disco called the Zoo, run by a young Jeff Goldblum, with all sorts of different characters there for different reasons: a wife who drags her stuffy, uptight husband there against ...
