Reviews
The lexicon of international films described the film as a "colorful, hectic sheet of pictures" that missed the opportunity for "critical analysis". “For disco fans” he is “just acceptable”.
Fred Beldin found the film "about as brain-dead as the average episode of Love Boat, " but entertaining, especially for those who fondly remember the late 1970s. Roger Ebert made fun of the film. So he begins his synopsis with “He's about Frannie and Jeannie and Mary and Bobby Speed and […] Dave and Sue and Tony and Maddie and Jennifer and Ken and Carl and Jackie and Gus and Shirley and Floyd and the Commodores who are themselves play, and Donna Summer as Nicole ”. After elaborating a little further, he says, “And do you know what the problem with 'TGIF' is? If you describe it, it sounds like a lot more fun than watching it. "

Paul Jabara received the Oscar in the category “ Best Original Song ” at the 1979 Academy Awards and the Golden Globe Award for the song Last Dance in the category Best Original Song - Motion Picture .
Last Dance was one of 400 songs on the list AFI's 100 Years ... 100 Songs of the American Film Institute were nominated. The song didn't make it into the top 100.
