CGiii Comment
The 80s - the decade of tacky movies...
Only a Nancy could have made this - there are those that will hail this as a masterpiece because it is so bloody awful.
Well, it is bloody awful and only the moronic, infantile and insane - could ever see anything of merit in this absolute fiasco of a film.
It's simply stunning how a big studio could get it so wrong.

The(ir) Blurb...
In this pseudo audio biography of the Village People, Jack Morell (a thinly disguised caricature of the group's founder, Jacques Morali) is a struggling composer desperate to gain fame with his songs, but all he needs is a group to sing them. With the help of his roommate Samantha and a lawyer named Ron, Jack forms a group of six "macho men" from his Greenwich Village neighborhood, and the rest of the film details their rise to fame from New York City to a climatic concert in San Francisco.
