It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

What is worse, even this 1990's Prince's flick was a total disaster. No wonder both Madonna and Kim Bassinger turned it down. The so-called sequel to equally tasteless Purple Rain is a vanity project for Prince, empty from the start and nothing but a waste of effort, time, money and patience. Bad to the very marrow, it again shows how fragile and slick Prince was as an actor, how schematic the plot is, how languidly the story unveils. Yest another failure. D'oh, sorry

Graffiti Bridge (1990)1/2 (out of 4) This section is where I normally write a plot description but GRAFFITI BRIDGE doesn't have any sort of story so we will just say that Prince goes up against Morris Day.GRAFFITI BRIDGE is considered by some to be a semi-sequel to PURPLE RAIN but considering how awful this movie is I'd rather just pretend there's no connection. If anything this film proves that even a genius can have off moments because you've got to wonder what Prince was even trying to do here. The movie has no story. The movie has no acting. The movie has boring love interest in Ingrid Chavez. This is pretty much an extended music video but sadly even the music is bad.I think even the biggest Prince fan would have a hard time defending this one because there's just one bad scene after another and I'd argue that they're all quite pointless as well. Even worse is that all of the scenes appear to just be Prince showing off his wild costumes. The lack of any real story means you really don't care about the characters, their situations or anything that happens to them. It's easy to see why Prince stayed away from movies after this one.

Coming off his commercially disappointing album "Lovesexy",Prince was into the whole spiritual thing. He conceived "GraffitiBridge" sometime in 1989, planning to make it a film with him andhis then girlfriend Kim Basinger. They broke up but "Graffiti Bridge"was still going to be made. He took time off to compose the"Batman" soundtrack and in late '89, he began filming "GraffitiBridge". Many that got first dibs on the film forewarned a lot ofpeople about it. "Graffiti Bridge" was released in the fall of 1990with horrible reviews. It also bombed at the box office. People thatdidn't even see the film gave it negative reviews. What people failto understand is that "Graffiti Bridge" is a musical. It is almost likea homage to the old 50's musicals that were filmed on studio lots.This was film on Prince's Paisley Park compound, giving it acheap look. Perhaps Prince took himself a little bit too seriouslywhen advertising it, and threw people off making them think it is aregular movie. "Graffiti Bridge" is like one long music video. Andhonestly, the acting is horrible. The highlight of the film has to bethe music. That is the whole point. It is a musical and nothing else.So don't watch "Graffiti Bridge" expecting a real movie with dramaand great acting. It's a good film but it has it's flaws.Graffiti Bridge- rated R **1/2 out of ****

I loved this movie. I love the messages Prince gets across with his movies and music. Whether it be about love, peace, god, or even sex. I hope that he will produce, direct, and act in another one soon!
