Funkytown (2011)
Better than other reviews suggest

Indeed, Funkytown is centered around a fictitious Montreal discotheque, Starlight, and the record industry in separatist Quebec during the late 1970's. Yes, many hits from the 1970's disco era are featured, albeit, as covers which helped keep production costs down. One song featured is by Boney M - Daddy Cool - a song I had never heard of until this movie. It turns out, it was a number one hit in many European countries but not in the U.S.
Most of the main characters are unsympathetic to the other characters which is supposed to reflect the me-ism of the 1970s.
The production for this film was rather good and, overall, I enjoyed this movie, and I truly believe this film is better than Boogie Nights.
