Can't Stop The Music

Bruce Jenner, Valerie Perrine, The Village People, a young Steve Guttenberg: No, that isn't the lineup for a Bob Hope Christmas special from the waning days of the Carter administration, it's the cast of 1980's Can't Stop The Music, a mind-boggling boondoggle that's misguided even by the incredibly lenient standards of the disco musical. A heavily fictionalized biopic about The Village People's founding, this disco-killer focuses on aspiring songwriter/DJ Guttenberg and his efforts to make it big in the music business with the help of uptight businessman Jenner, ex-supermodel Perrine, and an all-singing, all-dancing contingent of mostly mustachioed macho men.
