Just saw it for the first time. What a strange film. I understand that Prince Directed the film and wrote it too? What do you all think of it? What do you think of him as an actor? The performance parts rocked and I think he's a pretty good actor. He is no joke as a dancer. I think he should do another film as the "kid" again!!

it was cool....his acting is oddly captivating 2 me caus I can relate 2 his
charicter as the kid...

I read somewhere that Prince presented a 24 page script to warner bros film division.

the company liked it and told Prince that they were going to hire a few screen writers to work on the hardly there 24 page script.

Prince was like "no" my script is all we need...lol
cant allways believe what u read though...

interesting story if it's true. ok so maybe i'm a bit slow but what was with that constant message "it's just around the corner"? what was that about?? was it meaning, your answer is just around the corner??

that totaly beats me....

this was one of the many things in the movie I don't completly understand.

my daddy always told me this "it's round the jolly corner", and I pass it by a "sign" nearly everyday, for me it was we are nearly home. It's funny how memories that for some reason stick in my mind as a child, or to some could easily be forgotten. It may mean something else for you. but for me it's "home"

OMG, are you late!

Hi, dayclear, your a little sweetie!

To me, just around the corner means something spiritual. Im guessing it means to stay positive and all will work out if God is in ur heart. Im guessing thats wat Prince was saying. ... it worked out in the movie right? he won the battle! and he sure could rap 2! y did he change his hair color? and why was his name B- Rabbit? oh wait thats 8-Mile.

you are right! i tend to always be atleast 15 years late on many things especially films. i just saw Under the cherry moon 2 weeks ago!

I actually watch this movie once a month and it must not be too bad of a movie,a few days ago I checked amazon.com and they were almost out of stock of the DVD,think it said only 4 left. So appearantly people are buying this movie these days.

It sucked, but the soundtrack is great and Prince looked good

this particular piece i absolutely loved! the choreography was slamming!

"Tick Tick Bang" always sounded like it was meant for "The Simpsons" to me....

I didn't really like the movie. To me, it just seemed like a sequel that shouldn't have been made, sort of like Caddyshack 2.

For me, Prince's movies and soundtracks regressed. Purple Rain was a great movie with an amazing soundtrack. Under the Cherry Moon was a watchable movie with a great soundtrack. Graffiti Bridge was a lame movie with a decent soundtrack.

Don't likes it.
Regarding Under the Cherry Moon, Prince said he learned that "he can't direct what he didn't write". Grafitti Bridge exploded that. It was contrieved, boring, unfocused, and more often than not just dumb.

That said, I still bought the DVD and the digital version off itunes... "just because it's Prince".
