Last time I saw it (couple years ago) it was even a worse story and acting than I remembered.
Prince was a legendary musician, but just because he died, a bad movie he did doesn't suddenly become good.
It WAS however an amazing aphrodisiac for my 19 year old GF at the time  |
In 1984 I was listening to 80s hair bands like Ratt, Cinderella, and Quiet Riot (to name a few), but Purple Rain gave me an appreciation for his music. I only saw him once in concert. Sometime in the early 90s here in Montreal and it was a great show.
