Menudo: La Película

Menudo: La Pelicula is a 1981 Puerto Rican-Venezuelan film production featuring Puerto Rican boy band Menudo. The film was filmed entirely in Venezuela. It was directed by Alfredo Anzola. Marisela Buitriago also acts in the film.

Puerto Rican music band Menudo is in Venezuela for a country-wide tour. They arrive in Venezuela prepared to visit some of that country's largest cities, and to re-acquaintance themselves with Venezuelan fans. As the five members of the band, Rene Farrait, Xavier Serbia, Ricky Melendez, Johnny Lozada and Miguel 'Migue' Cancel, travel during this tour, they face different personal situations: Lozada hopes for a Puerto Rican girl that he fell in love with to show up in Venezuela in time to spend time with him, Serbia befriends the daughter of the local tour manager, Melendez develops a throat infection during the tour and gets hospitalized; then releases himself from the hospital in order to be able to perform at a concert, and the band gets lost into a sand desert area, later being rescued by an Arabian businessman. They also spend time meeting the locals in charge of their tour, and swimming and playing at a hotel's swimming pool.

These scenes are interluded with scenes from a concert, in which the band sings some of its hits, including Subéte A Mi Moto, Quiero Ser, and Spanish versions of some of Abba's hits.

Lozada's girl-friend arrived in Caracas just in time for them to spend a couple of days together, Xavier and his female friend decide to remain friends, and the group returns to Puerto Rico after a successful tour.

The film's concert scenes were recorded during one concert that was held at Merida's bullring, while the other scenes were recorded at a Caracas hotel and in different areas of the country.
