Spell it with me.

At least, I assume that's what "Gerffiti Bigde" is supposed to mean.

And I think it's worth seeing if you're a big Prince fan. I like it. It's a long way from being cinematic genius, but it's quirky, whimsical and fun.

This abortion of a movie teems with egocentric self-importance and half baked, mediocre ideas, completely unable move its already anorexic plot along it’s seemingly unending landscape of silly jokes, embarrassing vanity shots, and unconvincing character chemistry. The audience payoff of course is predictably paltry.
There is not one minute of Graffiti Bridge when the music is not playing which doesn’t make me cringe or feel like vomiting. Even the musical performances don’t save the movie, and often even make it worse. One can still hear the thunderous thump of footsteps running for the exit door coming from every heterosexual male during the Tic Tic Bang sequence. And who didn’t laugh out loud when Ingrid Chavez’s character was hit by that damned jeep? All I could do, after the shock of Prince’s fey yelp and Morriss’s equally fey recital of his response…all I could do was breath a sigh of relief that the movie must be almost over. But Prince reserved the very best…I mean, very worst for the last sequence in which he performs the terrific song, Still Would Stand All Time , but the protagonist embracing his arch-enemy at the end over a bet he lost for a nightclub nobody attended made me wonder if chemotherapy really would be more painful or not?
Lines like, “man, she’s two fine… No, she’s THREE fine!!!” are burned into my skull now. Thanks Prince…. Thanks for nothing.

Here is my advice:
watch "Gerffiti Bigde" first
then watch Under the CherryMoon and then finish your catching up with Prince's work by seeing
Purple Rain last.

That way you will go from downright awwwwwful (GB) to a tongue-in-cheek film that was overlooked by critics and movie-goers (UTCM), to the VERY 80s PR that propelled our hero into Stardom Gallaxy.

you REALLLLLY have to love P. unconditionally if you want to live through GB. It will work if you're a teenager or if you are Tame!

I haven't seen but sorry even after Purple rain which was average imo apart from the music, seeing GB is not on my list of things to do. I wouldn't mind seeing The Cherry moon one though. I like black and white movies and the music I prefer to GB.

Wow. This is the most concise and accurate review I've ever read of this terrible, terrible film.

It makes UNDER THE CHERRY MOON look like a literary and cinematic masterpiece.

I never really though of it as a movie. Kind of like a long form music video, along the lines of the symbol album video collection.
