This was Prince's third and last dramatic movie role. I am a Prince fan, and I loved the music. It is very unfortunate that Prince's ego got the better of him in this film. He really, really should have stayed with creating the music while letting a professional screenwriter come up with a storyline and script.It's not too late for Prince to get back into the movie business. In fact, I would really like to see him back on the big screen. But again, he should stick to creating the music and maybe taking a small acting role in a film that is written, produced, and directed by professionals.

There is a a part of this movie where George Clinton is performing, and the back up singers are singing "Ruff... Meow." It is the most brilliant and hilarious thing I've ever heard. Unfortunately it's not on the soundtrack. If anyone can give me information on how to find this song, I will do something special for them. This movie is worth seeing solely for the part mentioned above, but also when Prince's strange muse transforms herself to go out with Morris Day. She really cleans up. Plus, Teving Campbell's performance is classic, and Morris Day is always entertaining. I recommend this movie for anyone who has said they love Purple Rain, but hate Rasberry Beret.

There can't be more than a few hundred people on earth who really dug this movie, but I have it and I think it's the bomb. True, it's like a hip-hop-gospel musical in which no one has bothered to learn how to act. And the forget the set, because it doesn't even try to look real. This is strictly for the die-hard Prince fans.Thankfully, PRince found it in his heart to make room on his soundtrack for other musical acts besides himself, except for the unfortunate Ingrid Chavez.My biggest problem is that it is clear in this movie how much whiter he looks than he did in Purple Rain. Since then and to this day, he looks whiter than he did in the 80's. He can't blame it on vitiligo(or whatever it's called) like Michael Jackson did, so it must be the makeup. Also, one has to notice that he promotes interracial relationships, but not equally. Just like in Purple Rain, there are lots of black men with white women, but no black women with white men.Anyway, the soundtrack's cool, and fans should enjoy it.

A mumbling, pandering piece of fluff. Touched by an angel before it was sheik. Great music wasted in bad plot about a spiritual rivalry. A spiritual movie is hard to make without being preachy, but this movie doesn't say a thing. Prince sleeps and mumbles. His acting is like he was reading from a teleprompter in his crotch. The stage bits are all right but the idea that people are all turned off by Princes' wonderful music is laughable at best. Morris Day is good as usual, but he doesn't have much of a script to work with. The angel plot point would make more sense if we actually knew why she was there in the first damn place. Was she trying to save Morris or Prince? Also, didn't realize that a wanton jeep could kill an angel, I thought they didn't die. The sets look like a game show backdrop and you don't feel like this is a movie with much brains. Prince gloated in an interview that the film didn't have sex or violence. Guess what Prince, it doesn't have brains either. A glam, throw away. Great music wasted..Once again, "why was this movie made"?
