January 8, 2011A fun, cheesy, musical about the Village People! Whether or not you like the band, if you like fun 80s movies that are a little cheesy, you'll enjoy this movie like I did. Of course, it could be a little better, but it's pretty good.

June 2, 2008Mindnumbingly awful, a LOT of terrible acting, particularly Bruce Jenner, and laugh out loud ridiculous musical numbers but still hypnotic in its hopeless crassness and late 70's-early 80's excess.

January 27, 2008Cheesy-as-heck. Not much man-loving goes on. It's mostly a song and dance extravangaza in the 70's style, so don't fear kiddies. Not campy enough to warrant a re-watch.

November 29, 2010Almost 20 minutes left in the "film" and the player crashes....good. I guess I found my walk-out movie. This "film" holds underdevelopment, underused characters, poor directing, terrible writing, atrocious acting, bad editing, exaggerated cheesiness, cliches and still more proble... read more

November 10, 2010I don't know why other people have given this movie a low rating, it's not that bad. Sure the movie is about the Village People, but that doesn't mean the movies not funny and enjoyable. It's pretty cheesy, but not in a bad way. I wasn't a fan of the Village People before, but... read more

The unevenness of the acting comes as a kind of blessing, though, since the rest of the movie is so thoroughly homogenized. Full Review

Please DO stop the music! A '70s disco holdover.

This botched affair... goes absolutely nowhere and failed to cause much of a stir with moviegoers who, by the time of its release, were jumping on the disco backlash bandwagon. Full Review

Sean Burns, Philadelphia Weekly
It's tough to believe any movie that opens with Steve Guttenberg dancing on rollerskates could actually get worse from there, but it does -- and in such spectacular fashion!

Time Out
A wretchedly sub-standard score from Jacques Morali and production numbers of exceptional tackiness round things off. Full Review

Nell Minow, Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
An absolute train wreck of a movie, but viewed as a sort of fevered dream, some hilariously campy moments!

Points for not calling it "The Village People Movie" -- but not many.

Edward Margulies, Movieline
How bad is this infamous 1980 musical mega-dud? So bad that it stars not, one, not two, but three people who can't sing, dance or act. Full Review
