Samantha invites a group... 70's disco music and style set the tone for this flashy comedy. Samantha, a former model, comes to the aid of her roommate Jack, an aspiring songwriter who's vowed to stay celibate until he achieves musical success. Samantha invites a group of arty friends from Greenwich Village to a party -- an Indian chief, a construction worker, a cowboy, a policeman, a soldier, and a couple of leather boys! Then, they all get together and stage such a wild, campy, "dance feverish" show using Jack's songs, that his career skyrockets! The popular group "Village People" stars in this rags-to-riches musical extravaganza. Big budget production with a top of the charts soundtrack. [More]

Please DO stop the music! A '70s disco holdover.

This botched affair... goes absolutely nowhere and failed to cause much of a stir with moviegoers who, by the time of its release, were jumping on the disco backlash bandwagon.

The Village People, along with ex-Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner, have a long way to go in the acting stakes.

It's tough to believe any movie that opens with Steve Guttenberg dancing on rollerskates could actually get worse from there, but it does -- and in such spectacular fashion!

A wretchedly sub-standard score from Jacques Morali and production numbers of exceptional tackiness round things off.

The unevenness of the acting comes as a kind of blessing, though, since the rest of the movie is so thoroughly homogenized.

An absolute train wreck of a movie, but viewed as a sort of fevered dream, some hilariously campy moments!

Points for not calling it "The Village People Movie" -- but not many.
