Can't Stop The Music (1980)

A struggling songwriter (Steve Guttenberg) and a high fashion model (Valerie Perrine) put together a disco group consisting of a policeman (Ray Simpson), a construction worker (David Hodo), an Indian (Felipe Rose), a cowboy (Randy Jones), a leather man (Glenn Hughes) and a G.I. (Alex Briley) and call them the Village People. Directed by actress turned director Nancy Walker (MURDER BY DEATH). Perfectly dreadful! An attempt to cash in on the success of the Village People, this stinker has the morbid fascination of watching a train wreck. The Village People were a gimmick act and sucked as a singing group and posterity hasn't done anything to alleviate their awfulness. Indeed, the only thing more awful than their singing is their "acting".  They aren't the only bad actors in the film. Caitlyn Jenner (then called Bruce), Paul Sand and Altovise Davis (Mrs. Sammy Davis Jr.) are lousy too. There is some actual talent in the movie. In addition to Valerie Perrine, there's Tammy Grimes, Barbara Rush, Jack Weston, Leigh Taylor Young and June Havoc although none of them can rise above the drek. Not surprisingly, the film has a "so bad it's good" cult following.
