What a fascinating and godawful curio this is. Can something with a banging soundtrack really be all that bad? In the answer, it would appear, is yeah, it can. Famous for being the first big screen role of Debra Winger, containing Donna Summer’s immortal “Last Dance” (which won the Best Song Oscar), and a disco soundtrack that’s still sonically pleasing, Thank God It’s Friday never bothe... read more

Description: Donna Summer rocks the disco in this glitzy, tune-filled slice of 1970s nostalgia. Decked out in the ultimate in disco-queen glam, she plays an aspiring singer who will stop at nothing to get her shot at stardom by appearing at the Zoo, the hottest dance club in Hollywood, where the party never stops and staff and patrons alike lose themselves in a hedonistic haze of sex, drugs, and disco. Featuring musical performances by the Commodores and Summer—who brings down the house with her showstopping rendition of the Oscar-winning “Last Dance”—THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY is an irresistible time capsule of the disco era in all its ...

Thank God It’s Friday

“What a fascinating and godawful curio this is. Can something with a banging soundtrack really be all that bad? In the answer, it would appear, is yeah, it can. Famous for being the first big screen role of Debra Winger, containing Donna Summer’s immortal “Last Dance” (which won the Best Song Oscar), and a disco soundtrack that’s still sonically pleasing, Thank God It’s Friday never bothered to populate its busy plot with compelling characters or incident.
