The Movie Musical Event Of The ’80s … Is Back!
Pour yourself a milkshake and experience the magic, music, and mirth of the all-time favorite camptastic classic: Can’t Stop The Music! This (highly fictionalized) story depicting the creation of disco icons the Village People provides the framework for an outrageous musical extravaganza as only producer Allan Carr (Grease, Grease 2) could deliver.
An infamous flop upon its 1980 release, but cherished by fans of the singing sextet and cult cinema, Can’t Stop The Music offers a truly unforgettable time capsule experience. Packed with macho men, glamorous gals, “they don’t make ‘em like this anymore” production numbers, and a once-in-a-lifetime cast, it’s the sort of dizzy fun that aficionados of camp the world over award gold medals to. Watch it and see for yourself that it takes a Village … to raise your spirits!
In this fictional account of the Village People, fashion model Samantha Simpson (Valerie Perrine) helps her roommate, Jack Morrell (Steve Guttenberg), try to get a record deal. Morrell’s demo isn’t perfect, so Simpson searches New York for a proper group to sing the songs and finds a group made up of a police officer, a cowboy, a construction worker, a soldier, an Indian and a biker. They are primed for success, but complications arise when advertisers grow wary of their image.
