Flashy fictional disco piece about Shane O'Shea (Ryan Phillippe) who heads to New York and finds himself with a bartending job at the (non-fictional) infamous Studio 54 club. Phillippe's take as Shane is passable, as are supporting roles from Salma Hayeck, Breckin Meyer, Heather Matarazzo and Neve Campbell (how many seconds *was* she on for?), but by far the most memorable performance is from Mike Myers. A far cry from his Austin Powers persona, Myers plays the (real-life) gay owner of the club. The movie does a good job of capturing the club's no-holds-barred feel and the set is very impressive, but it just seems like the producers could have come up with something more - after all, Studio 54 is the most famous and mysterious club of all time!

OK, here's the deal: Mark Christopher wrote & filmed a much more interesting story, namely an all-3-sides love triangle between the Philippe, Hayek, and Breckin Meyer characters, where the three all behaved rather badly and rashly. But Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who run Miramax, which is owned by Disney, quite simply, freaked. They showed the movie to a bunch of shallow preview audiences who shy away from characters who are good AND bad, instead of one or the other, and made Christopher do extensive reshoots. Which is is how we got this dull, mangled mess of a film. The Neve Campbell character is so damned boring it's hard to understand how she'd be charismatic enough to get her soap opera role, much less get into the movies. Philippe is a cipher, and we don't see enough of Hayek and Breckin together to understand their relationship. Next time, Harvey and Bob, let the two boys kiss.

54, or Club Fifty-four as it is called is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Mike Myers from Austin Powers plays Steve Rubell the Owner of a sexy nightclub in the heart of New York City. Ryan Phillipe from Homegrown plays the Electric Giggolo dubbed "Shane 54" who is discovered by rudell after going to 54 one night for a big party there. This is the Era where sex is safe and the drugs are not so harmful. All the Directors of 54, Well Done! Ryan and Mike you will always be my heroes!

I'm basing my rating on the directors cut version since it doesn't have it's own entry. I would say it's a two star difference. A young bartender's journey into the New York City club scene and nightlife via legendary club Studio 54 in the late 1970s. See the unrated director's cut for the full scope of Shane54's journey. It gives an even more accurate depiction of the time period and scene. I do prefer the ending of this version though.

I'll never understand giving a mediocre or even decent film a high score. That's like saying it's as good as GREAT FILMS. Ridiculous. This film is a 5 at best. Good acting, cool topic. That's it.

If you put Cocktails and Boogie Nights together you get 54. Wait Boogie Nights came out just before 54??!!! Another one of Hollywood's tricks to make a similar movie. Yes Mike Myers played a great actor. His laugh, LOL!!!

this movie is amazing, is great! the plot is very interesting, and the performances are really good. The movie is about the splendor and the imminent decadence (with the disco age) of the biggest and greatest exclusive night club called "Studio 54". And it´s also the story of a young boy (Ryan Phillippe, a great actor and also the cutest) and how make his dreams come true: be a member of the exclusive "studio 54". Anyway, I recommend this movie a lot.

I watched this in 2020, but there are also similar type of movies about some hidden secret life style of hollywood and rich people of world. its movie about kinda poor young guy who want to enjoy the life , so he got job in famous club in NY, there the party starts. where he also find some good friends but he bang the wife of good friend. and still good friends in the end? pfff.

54 is an example of what happens when a studio messes around too much with a movie. 54 could've been good. There was a good cast involved, but the film was re-edited against the director's wishes and what we got was, well I just don't know. Ryan Phillipe's character was one of the many "I just want to get out of here" characters that populate many of today's films. Salma Hayek seemed woefully wasted, and her character's story line seemed to go nowhere. Neve Campbell's character was totally useless and added nothing to the dramatic narrative. Mike Myers was the only good thing about 54. It's a shame that there was too much messing around on the studio's part. This could've shown what the nightlife in 54 was like, instead we get just a tiny glimpse.
