It's Friday night and time to head to the hottest disco in town for the big dance contest in this 1970s groove-fest. A wild assortment of crazy characters shows up, and the Commodores supply the music. Singer Nicole (Donna Summer) is convinced she's going to get her big break, while Marv "Leather Man" Gomez (Chick Vennera) wanders the club dispensing advice. (official distributor synopsis)

Something went wrong somewhere, because Thank God It’s Friday should and, mainly, could have been wonderfully entertaining camp and a well-made, trendy film, but it ended up as a sadly lifeless display of futility. Though it was produced by Motown, there is no jive and the film is completely devoid of rhythm. Despite the episodic story with a bunch of characters and putting on display every possible visitor to a famed disco over the course of a single night, there is a hopeless lack of charismatic actors, and when one shows up, he still doesn’t having anything to properly play, which is the case of Jeff Goldblum as an annoying lech.
