I've just watched this movie for the first time 10 minutes ago and felt compelled to comment. Let me start by clarifying the following:
1 I have the misfortune to have lived through that decade of style disasters known as the 80's.
2 I bought one or two prince albums; Purple Rain, Batman, etc
3 I thought the previous movie, Purple rain was OK, if a tad extravagant
However, I've read other reviewers on this site state that this is a "classic"
If it is a "classic", it is only in the same way that "Plan 9 from Outer Space" now shares a similar classification.
Am I saying that this is a turkey? Well, lets put it this way, I'm thinking of having it stuffed for Thanks Giving.
Someone please pass me the Cranberry Sauce.
Oddly enough Cranberries are a form of Berry too. Did Princes' subconscious know something he didn't?
