A typically weak sequel that has no legitimate artistic reason for being. [July 22, 1983]

Everything about Staying Alive is cliched: characters, story, dialogue… There’s not a single original or interesting thing to be found. Even the music is tired and, although Travolta evinces the same physicality he showed in Saturday Night Fever, the sense of joy is gone.

Stallone's sequel has almost nothing to do with the original film except that it's about dancing; otherwise, it's Rocky IV with legwarmers. [16 Jul 1983]

Staying Alive, the sequel to John Travolta's "Saturday Night Fever," plays like wet cement. [16 Jul 1983]
20
The bottom line is that Staying Alive is nowhere as good as its 1977 predecessor, "Saturday Night Fever."

This one is clumsy, mean spirited and amazingly unmusical.

Ill-conceived, pathetically realized follow-up to "Saturday Night Fever."
