the trailer is trying to build up some major Wolf of Wall Street energy.

idk i think Travolta's charisma remains effective when he's in the right role, i could see this being completely cheesy fun.

If I had voted in this poll, I would have voted for Welcome Back, Kotter.

four years pass...

So, is Moment by Moment funny/interesting/weird bad, or just bad bad? There's a 1080p blu-ray rip up on YouTube for the time being.

Interesting by default--Travolta's follow-up to SNF and Grease, so the absolute zenith of his popularity--but plodding, as I remember it. If I'm counting correctly, he's been in 14 films since I put this poll up.

Actually 11--I counted some TV/video work.

Watched Moment by Moment last night (thanks for the tip, cryptosicko). Hard to figure how this got an R rating. I found Lily Tomlin's home decor and the background views of Malibu, Beverly Hills & elsewhere more interesting than the characters. "Plodding" seems accurate. There's a pair of lap dogs that get too much screen time.

There's a scene in it where Tomlin is holding Travolta's head and says, "I think you have a fever."

And I'm screaming at my TV, "It's a NIGHT Fever!"

Yeah, Tomlin's beach house was definitely the best thing about this. Otherwise, I suppose there is some pleasure to be had here for bad movie aficionados--the matching haircuts, the banal dialogue, Tomlin and Travolta's legendary anti-chemistry--but mostly I thought it was just dull.
