There's a good movie in there somewhere trying to get out.

I think you really have to 'get' Prince's humour because I've seen it with non-fans/casual fans and they really just did not get any of it at all, like the funny scenes (or alledged funny scenes!) - they just didn't get Prince's facial expressions and little sayings - and I think if you don't get the humour in Prince's music, you're basically f*cked for seeing the humour in the movie.

I actually like it a lot, but I agree it's a totally botched, thoroughbred vanity project.

Really? I've had some non-fans become fans BECAUSE of that movie. One of them went to

his concert with me because she just loved the movie so much. There is a certain racial/

poverty line humor in there that my friends just love. I have a friend that hates Prince with a

passion, but she loves the movie. I also love the movie, and I've seen it soooo many times.

I actually didn't like this movie much back when it came out... I wanted Prince to act cool.

I absolutely Love this movie now... It's beautiful, funny & has one of the best soundtracks ever...

i put on 'under the cherry moon' the other night there...i havent watched it in many years...just felt like revisting it....

my thoughts after watching it... confused ...its a vanity project by prince...no doubt about that...he made it off the back of a hugely sucessful first movie and album...he was one of the biggest selling artists in the world ...but it was a big mistake by warners to give him almost complete control over it...he just wasnt or isnt accomplished enough to make a cinematic movie....the acting is pretty bad by most of the cast and prince hams it up throughout...i didnt really find it funny throughout but it can be amusing in parts...

the story is very weak and very little of the film compares to purple rain..the good things in the movie...i thought ...are kristen scott thomas...who shows she is a very good actress throughout the movie..and jerome benton..who looks a natural in front of the camera....

the movie has a certain charm but..overall...it wasnt very good and...even the music...which was great...doesnt really shine here in the movie...most of it is used as incidental background music and is wasted...

so..there you have it...under the cherry moon...

i started watching graffiti bridge as well but i couldnt make it past the first ten minutes lol

please dont ask me to review it... feeling ill

hey, dont talk shit about my fav! movie! i love this piece of crap

Say it's just a dream...
U open up ur eyes and come 2 realize
u simply imagined this
So u lean over and give her a kiss
Here on earth, here on earth,
with u it's not so bad
Here on earth, here on earth
eye don't feel so sad
Stay right here

I love that damn movie. I have a dozen sound clips on my phone from it just so my friends and I can laugh at them. I even got thrown out of a restaurant once for the Wrecka Stow mess. LOL.

I wish I could see the color version, though I think the sight of Prince in a towel and white lace will send me flying into my television screen. lol

I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me.
Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots.
Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol.
Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch
