It is like watching a bunch of edited music videos mixed in to a movie lol

Some are pretty cool some, are not so great.

Cheap movie sets, the story is a little confusing, Its suposed to be Purple Rain Pt2 disbelief

Its not a great, but i still enjoy it at times redface

You either like it or hate it, Give it shot

Cant believe my purple psychedelic pimp slap pimp2

I like it a lot, but I'm probably in the minority....

It's better thought of as it's own movie IMO. Making it a "sequel" to PR was probably the main problem with it.

btw, nice avatar, I'm a HUUUUUUUGE Nirvana fan.

I think to be fair, if you are a big Prince fan, you will get some enjoyment out of it, particularly the performance seens and the music.

But that said, as far as movies go, its certainly not a classic, and most self respecting movie reviewers would pan this film, as many at the time did. I must say though, as far as movies do go, I have seen much much worse than Graffiti Bridge.

Why don't you just buy/borrow/steal it and make up your own mind? It's not exactly expensive or difficult to find.

Where I live, HMV is shitting them out at £2 a copy.

High points:

  • some good songs
  • Ingrid Chavez's legs

Low points:

  • the rest of the movie

I work in nottingham city centre, if they still have one there I might have a sneaky walk down tomorrow... I might wear my big coat so i can smuggle it back into work unnoticed!

It's so bad it's not even funny...

Put on the cd, instead. The music is the only good thing about it.

Well.... some of it, at least.

Watch the trailer, it's WAAAAYYY better than the actual movie.

The highlight of the whole film for me is the 'graffiti bridge font' used for the opening credits. I quite like that font.

It's horrible in every way, unless you're a female fan who just likes to watch Prince looking sexy.

It was on cable the other day and I (tried) to watch it. It was even worse than I remembered when I saw it in the theater back in 1990 and I had to shut it off. The acting, the production, the script, the sets, the direction...even the most of the musical performances...are all uniformally terrible.

It's honestly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The fact that I didn't walk out of the theater the first time I saw it is a testament to how much I like Prince.

This is what I was just about to say.

It's really not as bad as people say, if you just remember to go in not expecting some high brow masterpiece.

Enjoy it for what it is, Prince performing and looking hot, and eyeballing Ingrid Chavez, and you'll be fine.
