Amazon.com video review:
A wimpy remake of an already anemic movie (the 1947 Rita
Hayworth vehicle Down
to Earth), this glitzy musical from 1980 improbably stars
Olivia Newton-John as a heavenly muse sent here to help open a
roller-derby disco. Gene Kelly is mixed up in this well-meaning but
goofy effort to fuse nostalgia with late-'70s glitter-ball trendiness,
and he looks just plain silly. Directed by Robert Greenwald, the film
doesn't even work as decent kitsch. --Tom Keogh
