Can't Stop the Music (20-Jun-1980)
Director: Nancy Walker Writers: Allan Carr; Bronte Woodard Keywords: Comedy, Disco
REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 23-Jan-2007) This is definitely one of those films which is so awful it's great. Look at all it offers: Bruce Jenner in a leading, first-billed movie role; the Village People, presented as a diverse group of straight men who come together, and under Bruce's auspices, become a singing group; Vallerie Perrine in the lead (famous mostly for being the first to show her nipples on t.v. three decades ago); Steve Guttenberg and Paul Sand, as the primary veteran actor and comedien presences; the long-in-tooth Tammy Grimes, longer-in-tooth Barbara Rush, and longest-in-tooth June Havoc; and foremost ---- Bruce, the gang, and "the People," working-out together, AT THE Y.M.C.A.!! A lot of people deride the music of the Village People, but I personally know of nobody - whether a young rock devotee, or an older fan of classical - who can keep from moving to their music. Every aspect of this movie is so bizarre and off-the-wall, that, while seeemingly warranting no stars, is so campy and deliciosly awful that you have to move tie dial one more notch backwards to the 4* mark.
