as someone who grew up in the 2000s i've been wanting to explore the 80s and this movie was a cool look into the time period ! seems like 1980 is an interesting mix of late 70s (disco) vibes with 80s synths in terms of music and style - cool! not the best movie ever made but definitely enjoyable - the story was fun and although the characters could have been deeper I think the second half is really good. I really liked olivia newton-john and gene kelly and the music is stellar

My true complaint is that Google doesn't do refunds for rentals. Even though I only watched 30 minutes of it. The plot develops slowly and the effects are as horrible as you would expect. I like bad movies but this one tests my patience.

This is a good movie for people who love a good story. Not sure where people think it's cheesy. Just wait until your pop movies from "today" are dubbed cheesy by your kids and grandkids. I'm also baffled by those who think the Broadway adaptation is better. That musical makes fun of this movie, and completely missed the point. The music in Xanadu is great, and for those who don't like it...too bad.
