I looked at Under the Cherry Moon this past weekend after having not seen it since when I saw it at the movies the year it came out. I must admit, I found it to be pretty enjoyable. I had a handful of hearty, hearty laughs. Prince actually was pretty funny in the role. The movie was really campy and had the vibe of a film made by a student in college. A fun movie if not taken seriously. |

I downloaded it from iTunes a few months ago and watch it regularly.  "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

Love it. Love the whole look of it. I've shown it to a number of non fans over the yrs & everyone's enjoyed it so far. '86 is my fave era, the look, sound, Katz's photography, the tour & the movie  "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

Shall I reveal a secret? I put off watching this movie for years... Then I watched it for the first time with my son (?!) after I took him to see his first Prince concert (as an adult) and he and I both liked it. He thought it was engaging and funny--and I thought Prince was cute and sexy in it. Could it have been better with a different director? Of course! It is uneven and cheesy as hell (the dying scene is comic gold LOL). But, I still enjoyed it then, and do now.

I always believed that if you TRULY loved Prince - the comprehensive Prince: the art, the style, the humor, the vision, the courage - that you had to like this film. This was when Prince was trying things that no one else had the talent - or the guts - to attempt. He was fearless and wreckless at the same time. And he hit a new high water mark most of the time.

My favorite P movie. Yes, even better than Purple Rain, it's all fun and light, no drama.

There's no drama in a Black American gigolo getting capped by the white father of the French | |

My father's two favorite scenes in Prince movies: -UTCM...when Isaac Sharon has Christopher Tracy shot -PR...when Francis L. slapped the taste out of The Kid's mouth, knocking him from the room back into the hall. Make it so, Number One... | |

I think that when people understand it - like Graffiti Bridge - is somewhat of a fantasy with a certain amount of camp, they can take it for what it is and enjoy it. The comic performances are rich and it looks fantastic - in black and white. If you appreciate the light romantic films from the 40s and 50s, you get this. If you come looking for Purple Rain 2, you dont. Save America - Stop Illegal Immigration. God bless America. PEACE | |

I love that it doesn't take itself too seriously, I'm kinda surprised it wasn't a bigger hit. It's pretty much the perfect movie for Prince fans, basically just an hour and a half of him horsing around and being all Prince-y. Far better movie than Graffiti Bridge imo, and more like Prince doing his version of one of those old Beatles movies. ¡The Future Is Ours, If You Can Count! https://www.youtube.com/w...A_zTY0qWWk | |

Honestly, I'm not surprised it didn't do too well. I think people decided pretty easily that they weren't going to the movies and pay full price for a black-and-white, comedy, period piece. It was just TOO outside the box. |
