Well yeah i don't know where the "recca stew" is coming from, its actually "wrecka stow". I hope that they put the outtakes for this movie and PR..... especially some clips from the much rumored fist fight between morris day and Prince on the set. I bet those boots was about to come off and clock morris in the head, lol!!!! Now that is something to look forward to.

My favorite parts are when Mary has called the guards on Christopher (Prince) and Tricky (Jerome from The Time) and christopher tells her that maybe she could breathe easier if she loosened up her chasity belt....

another funny scene is when christopher finds out that mary was willing to give up the drawers to him, he drags tricky to her house in the middle of the night with a ladder to get to her room from the window but little does christopher know that he has actually entered the bedroom of mary's mother. While tricky has found out that mary's father has come he tries to go get christopher from out of the bedroom and nearly falls off the ladder...meanwhile christopher is talking dirty to mary's mom who thinks its her husband on top of her...and while tricky finally gets christopher's attention by throwing rocks and then christopher tells mary's mom "wait baby I ain't into all of that!" (after he realizes it ain't mary he's humping) but.....

My favorite scene of all is when they are singing Boys and Girls and prince is doing his thing on top of the piano. -missfee

Prince ran into bad luck and bad decisions with UTCM .
He pissed off a lot of people when he fired the original director and that is one thing you cannot do in Hollywood. Piss off the right people and your ass is doomed.

Then Prince had a white female love interest which is still a taboo subject and in 1986 it was not going to be allowed in parts of the USA.In fact in muleTown the movie was not allowed to come here.

O.K. picture and is better than many pictures that won acclaim after it's release.

Examples: The Crying Game, Cool World , & Dick Tracy

I think you can only like this film if you're a Prince fan - there's no other reason to watch it really.

It failed because most people were expecting a follow-up to Purple Rain, both visually and musically, and it was just so different - much kudos to Prince for having the audacity to go his own way.

The main thing that made Purple Rain so great was the fantastic on-stage performances - what 'Cherry Moon' lacks is these performances of the songs, but the character and storyline don't provide an opportunity apart from the Girls and Boys performance, finally Prince on stage doing what he does best. He has a great sense of humour and the visual, but he isn't an actor and if you take this film seriously, as I'm sure film critics did at the time, you will be let down.

I think popstars should play popstars if it's just an excuse to promote an album. Like Eminem did. If you wanna be an actor proper, don't go anywhere near the soundtrack!
