THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY- 1978

Listed as THE STUPIDEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME, "Thank God it's Friday" really lived up to its reputation. Released during the height of the disco-crazy 1978, this film had a soundtrack packed with loud heart thumping disco beats with the beats per minute listed along with the name of the performing artist.

Even though Donna Summer's Oscar winning song "Last Dance" was number 1 through the summer of 1978, don't expect anything else that is Oscar worthy in this stinker. Viewing this movie 32 years after it's release; it was interesting to see a young Jeff Goldblum, Debera Winger, Terry Nun (before she became lead singer of the new wave band "Berlin") and Lionel Ritchie with a giant afro singing along with his former band The Commadores.




The cast of characters consisted of Jackie (Mews Small) described as Dental hygenist by day and drugged up disco freak by night! Sure I love to have someone like that to clean my teeth. Through out the movie she passed drugs to the square husband of a yuppie couple. Poor guy was dragged to the world of disco by his wife, who wanted to teach him "How to have a good time".



Paul Jabara the writer of the Oscar winning song "Last Dance" also starred in this turkey as one of the many bachelors hitting the disco to "get lucky" and "Fame" star Valerie Landsburg plays Frannie one of the 2 teens who snuck out from their suburban home to enter a disco queen contest.

A bit of trivia information: in the movie Stephen King's "Christine", the scene where the Christine and her owner were parked at a drive-in the movie playing on the big screen was "Thank God it's Friday".
