They say rock 'n' roll never dies, but one dark night in 1964, Eddie Wilson's car went off a Jersey bridge with the troubled rock idol at the wheel. His body was never found despite a massive search. Twenty years after the lead singer of Eddie and the Cruisers disappeared, the band's songs are hotter than ever. And renewed interest in the band leads television reporter Maggie Foley to pursue a tantalizing mystery: What if Eddie is still alive? The circumstances surrounding his death are just shadowy enough to make it a distinct possibility, and someone (could it be Eddie?) has been ransacking the homes of the surviving band members in a desperate search for tapes of the group's visionary, never-released album. As Maggie interviews the former band members, the pieces of the puzzle becomes suitable - but only until still deeper mysteries begin to surface.
Leave your thoughts about Eddie and the Cruisers.
| VarietyVariety StaffEddie and the Cruisers is a mish-mash of a film, combining elements of the ongoing nostalgia for rock music of previous decades with an unworkable and laughable mystery plotline. |
| The DissolveNoel MurrayEddie And The Cruisers is a hodgepodge of seemingly unmarketable ingredients: a complicated flashback structure, oblique nods to Elvis Presley conspiracy theories and The Beach Boys’ unreleased opus Smile, and anachronistic Bruce Springsteen-style frat-rock. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinVivid, full of conviction and more than a little foolish at times. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWhatever goodwill the movie builds up during its first 85 minutes is thrown away in the idiotic, anticlimactic final ten. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertEddie and the Cruisers is all buildup and no payoff. |
| Miami HeraldChristine ArnoldA mish-mash of a film, combining elements of the ongoing nostalgia for rock music of previous decades with an unworkable and laughable mystery plotline. |
| Associated PressLinda DeutschAt the height of his fame, Eddie Wilson died in a car crash. Or did he? The question, raised in the opening scenes, gives this fictional, nostalgic movie a quirky appeal, suggesting the past may not be dead after all. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloDated, rock-themed '80s tale has suicide, drugs, profanity. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe film's mystery angle regarding the missing tapes is ludicrous, thus making it right at home alongside every other half-witted development in this cheesy undertaking. |
| Radio TimesJohn FergusonAn intriguing, if not completely successful, spin on the rock movie. |
