Can't Stop The Music (1980)

A highly fictionalized account of the formation of the disco group The Village People.

*      *      *

Shot at the height of disco's popularity and released in the year of it's demise, Can't Stop The Music was destined for failure. Yet as bad as this movie is, it's not un-watchable. In fact it's actually pretty fun. Where else are you going to see a young Steve Guttenberg grooving around New York on roller-skates? Or a hairy-chested leather-man belt out "Danny Boy"? Oh and did I mention Bruce Jenner's in this thing? It's exactly like a Marx Brother's movie, only instead of Groucho, Harpo and Chico, you have The Village People helping out the struggling artist and the young lovers! Give it a spin. You'll have a gay ol' time!
