	Movies - Can't Stop the Music

Can't Stop the Music is a musical comedy film directed by Nancy Walker in 1980. It is a pseudo autobiography of disco's Village People. The film is not true to the actual story of the disco group. Half of the film's $20,000,000 budget was spent on a worldwide publicity campaign. The film was a major critical and commercial failure and only did well in Australia. It is generally considered one of the worst films ever made due to bad acting, inept direction and seemingly inadvertent sexuality.

Plot

Jack Morell (Steve Guttenberg) is a composer looking for a band to play his songs. With help from his friends Samantha Simpson (Valerie Perrine) and a lawyer named Ron White (Bruce Jenner), Jack brings together a sextet of macho men who make their way to the top in New York City.
