The most jaw-droppingly exuberant movie musical of the ‘80s creates a semi-fictional, too-good-to-be-true tale about the legendary formation of disco supergroup the Village People. Steve Guttenberg co-stars as a New York disc jockey who, with the help of his superstar supermodel roommate (Valerie Perrine), assembles a group of Greenwich Village friends to record a demo of his catchy tunes. With the Village People playing a winking version of themselves, Can’t Stop the Music is irresistible, infectious high camp packed with ridiculously entertaining musical numbers, goofy comedy, and hordes of handsome young men – you’ve never seen anything like it!
