Rating: 1/5 stars
So this movie is basically a 2-hour music video that centers around "The Kid" (Prince) and his band (the Revoloution) trying to make it big while playing regularly at a club. The popular act is of course Morris Day and The Time, so Prince's band is living in their shadow. He meets some skank, and there are a lot of inappropriate scenes that need skipped, but there is a bright spot in the movie...
No, it's NOT THE ACTING!!!
It's the three amazing performances of the movie. The first is Morris Day and the Time performing one of the greatest songs of all time, "Jungle Love." The second is by Morris Day and the Time and it is "The Bird." This features an amazing dance ("The Bird) and a lot of "Skwak!! Halleluia!". This song is absolutely awesome. The final is of course the Magnum Opus of "Purple Rain" performed by the Revolution. It's the climax of the movie, so it's pretty good. Overall this movie has an awful plot, even worse acting, and freaking sweet music.... so it's a really bad movie, but a decent music video.
