Awesome movie no matter what anyone says. Prince was the fuc**ng man.
Driven by Prince's solid performance and iconic soundtrack, The simple story is elevated by its music and energy, making it unforgettable.
Cheesy. Cheesy. Cheesy but Prince's music performances were beyond stellar. He was the reclusive mega superstar we didn't deserve.
Purple Rain sees Prince dominate both the Billboard Charts & the Box Office.
It was a little painful to watch at times but I did fully enjoyed it.
Great film for prince fans and 80s movie buffs. Outstanding music and cinematography. Only thing holding it back from 4/4 is the shit acting
Purple Rain stole my heart! Honestly it’s not many peoples favorite, but I absolutely loved it! The plot, love, and music top it off!
The album is incredible. The movie is a little slow.
Best soundtrack ever? Maybe. Worst screenplay ever? Maybe.
The quality of this film is up in the air but goddamn that soundtrack is incredible
