This movie was some shit. Way worse than I was expecting.Kira (Olivia Newton-John) is one of the nine Muses. She has been assigned to inspire artist Sonny (Michael Beck), who finds himself bored with his job of painting promotional art for a record company. Kira leads him to retired musician and club owner Danny (Gene Kelly) and the two men collaborate to create Xanadu, a roller skate rink/dance club. But when Kira develops feelings for Sonny, she knows her time with him has to end.
Seriously, I expected very little from this film and it couldn't even meet my low bar. Gene Kelly is still wonderful, even in his 70's, but oh how this film has aged. The script is rambling and nonsensical, the musical numbers are hideously dated, and the entire thing together is a lead balloon. Avoid at all costs.
