'Under The Cherry Moon' On Worst Movie List

The July issue of Maxim (withb Shakira on the cover) has UTCM listed as the 36th worst movie of all time out of 50.
---
{{{We'd change our name to an unpronouncable symbol too, if it were connected to this cinematic pit stain.}}}Ditching the funk vibe of Purple Rain, Prince bored fans shitless by prancing around the Meditteranean as the most implausible con man ever and falling head-over-platform-heels in love with rich bitch Kristin Scott Thomas.

Batman and Robin? Hell yeah, that movie was horrible. But can you honestly say that is the worst movie of all time? Where's Bio Dome, Graffiti Bridge, or the Carrot Top movie, or anything from before the seventies? I hate articles like these when the author has no idea of the history behind things. We live in a world of many, many horrible movies.

I have to sat that the more times I watch this movie the more I like it. It's so udderly bizarre that it takes a few times before you like it.

UTCM WAS GOOD!! EVEN MY KIDS THAT ARE 9 AND 11 LIKE IT.

BUT THEY EVEN LIKE GRAFFITI BRIDGE. I GUESS THAT IS MY FAULT!!

i WOULD LIST GRAFFITI ON THAT LIST BEFORE UTCM THOUGH.
THAT IS STILL THE SHIT. IT EVEN REMINDS ME ALOT OF TITANIC IN CERTAIN WAYS. MAYBE THE STORY OR CHARACTERS.

PEACE,
COCOMF !!

In my humble opinion, Under the Cherry Moon is easily a better movie than Purple Rain. smile

I did not care for the movie at all when it first came out. I was young and wanted more of the Purple Rain Era. However, the part where she reads how he wants to be an Honest Man always stuck with me. I thought that was a beautiful poem. I must admit that I do enjoy watching it now. It cheers me up when I am depressed. My 9 year old daughter likes it too. She thinks it is hilarious. Her favorite part is the bats in the restaraunt.

UTCM is the bomb!

As so many of you have already said, Graffiti Bridge was bloody awful. Should have been aborted at birth!

All I need though is for Prince & Warners to kiss and make up and release the movie as a special edition DVD with director's commentary 'n' all.

Here's dreaming!

Graffitti Bridge and Purple Rain are much worse. All of his movies should have gotten the top three positions.
Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater?

A friend of mine, who has absolutely no interest in Prince, told me that he know of UCM because they showed it in his film class. How cool is that?? I think he said they used it as an example of film nior?? I'm not sure, but the general consesis of the cl ass was good.
I think that the people who hate UCM. . .take it too seriously. It was supposed to be tongue in cheek, and an homage to old 30's movies. I love it!!
Grafitti Bridge however. . . .don't HATE it, but parts of it are just so CORNY!!! I think P rince did a brilliant job at directing and staring in UCM, but I feel like his heart just wasn't in GB.
If anybody knows where I can get UCM on DVD. . .PLEASE. . . let me know!!
Thanks

I love reading Maxium!

I really didn't enjoy UTCM. To me it's one of those movies you hate to watch, but do anyway.

UTCM is decent if you get P's sense of humour. Otherwise, it's kinda off. As for Batman and Robin, I must agree. That movie was the biggest turd I ever saw! Worse than any Pauly Shore movie (and that's saying something, since all of his movies are crap on a stick).

Is Moulin Rouge on that list? I know a lot of people loved that movie, but I thought it was like a root canal without the anesthetic! Please, Lord, I will be so good if I never have to hear the awful sound of Nicole Kidman's singing again!

In my honest opinion, under the cherry moon was beautiful.
It has everything from corny, funny to sweet smile I guess it is your typical girly romance movie...but I guess I'm a suck for the hopelessly romantic. I loved it!!!

The only thing good about Cherry Moon was how Prince looked in it, but they are not going by looks. I hated it when it came out and it is rightful that it is on that list.

Under The Cherry Moon is better than Graffiti Bridge.. GB should have replaced UTCM on Maxim's worst movie list (if they *needed* to dis a P movie).

UtCM is crap. I thought it was crap when I saw it on opening day, and I still think it's crap. That being said, I enjoy it more and more every time I watch it.

'Under The Cherry Moon' is a fun,enjoyable little film.But it is a movie that was clearly made for diehards.That's why so many other people just didn't "get it".

But,'Graffiti Bridge' is a film that even the diehards didn't realy understand...lol...

Watching Grafitti Bridge is like slowing down for an accident on the road; you know somebody's all jacked up, bloody and guts hanging, no head even! But you still wanna see anyway. That movie really hurt my feelings...sad Prince insulted my intelligence on that one!

UTCM sucked as well, but, it was a fun movie to watch. I wished I had it on DVD. What a classic!

Now, the movie that REALLY SUCKED was '15 minutes' with my boy, Robert Deniro. WTF? How can the star get smoked in his own movie? Like, the first 15 minutes? Somebody, please help me understand. I mean, come on! This was a waste of my 15 dollars to go see this crap!
