This movie should have made it to the main stream. Like "Harold and Kumar", "Snatch" and other such movies, your definitely not watching this movie for the great believable story line or explosive drama. Once you get into the movie, however, it just gets better and better. The more ridiculous each character gets the better it gets! Another review mentioned this was a hidden gem and I couldn't agree more. It is nice to watch a movie that is original and well thought out, but at the same time doesn't take itself to seriously. I wish more movies were this entertaining. As I think about it the one thing that really makes this movie so good is that each character adds to the fun of the movie as a whole. Thumbs way up and prepare yourself to laugh.

The good news is that most people that have written reviews get it. Let's be honest upfront, you are not watching this movie for the acting and it is not going to win an academy award. I do not believe that was ever the purpose or intention for this movie. What it does deliver, however, is classic songs that represent the 80's perfectly, from a musical genius. I am a musician myself, so when I use the term genius I do know what I am talking about. If you do any research into Prince, you will see a plethora of accomplishments and if memory serves me correctly, he not only writes his own music, but has written many, many hits for others. He plays like some 20 different instruments, etc. The man himself is unquestionably insane, but name a genius who isn't. Regardless, the significance of this movie is the music and the times. I don't expect this generation to live it or embrace it, but at least be able to understand it and appreciate real music, instead of this cut and paste time we seem to be living in. Besides the "purification" scene and the "what's the password" scene are just laughably dumb enough to get some entertainment value out of the whole thing!
