Can't Stop the Music - Review

I was prepared for this sucky movie but think I may have underestimated just how much it would suck. I know not to make this mistake again.

"Can't Stop the Music" is a Village People vehicle but despite this, the music in it is horrible. I enjoy the schlocky disco classics of yesteryear as much as the next person but aside from their two biggest hits ("Macho Man" and "Y.M.C.A.") the music in this film is dreadful. Which is too bad because it is the only thing that could have saved it.

But on the bright side--- we get to see Bruce Jenner act! And he's not bad! And Steve Guttenberg (pre-Police Academy) bounces across the scene like a Muppet on crack. Nothing subtle about his performance.

Worth watching if you have a couple hours to kill and you don't mind horrible films. Or at a party with friends, watching it MST3K style--- riffing on every scene.

Otherwise, don't waste your time.
