Regrettable fashion, synthesized riffs, and power ballads dominate the 1985 music scene. That's when Todd Lucas, a young and talented musician, moves to Los Angeles in hopes of making it big. Searching for someone to share his passion for smooth R&B music, Todd meets up with BJ Fairchild, a cocky loner from The Valley who is convinced his life is more glamorous than it is. The two musicians have big dreams but little future until their best friend, Gina Marie, gets them the break of a lifetime. Fate brings them together, love tears them apart, and their songs of heartbreak and loss redefine their genre. Todd and BJ epitomize the awkwardness of an era while becoming R&B's most mediocre duo - Eternity.
Leave your thoughts about Eternity: The Movie.
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinEternity: the Movie, a purposely cheesy sendup of mid-1980s pop music, offers committed performances and a few chuckles, but it's a largely one-note rendition. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThere’s much more dead air than laughs, despite a certain anything-goes enthusiasm from the leads. |
| TheWrapInkoo KangToo earnest to be satisfyingly arch and too scattered to succeed as parody, Thorpe's goofy musical comedy only manages a sporadic charm through the occasional bon mot or a madcap flight of fancy. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe endless parade of parodistic gags displays no semblance of wit, with the filmmakers content to perfectly ape the silliness of the era's music videos and such fashion statements as wearing a single cross earring. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleOffers committed performances and a few chuckles, but it's a largely one-note rendition. |
| Village VoiceChris PackhamThe jokes are slow and obvious, and the editor lingers over every one like a sleepy drunk over a basket of tater tots, stoically holding the shot long after any reasonable person would have concluded that a punchline had occurred. |
| OregonianJamie S. RichThorpe means well, and the song parodies have a bizarre earnestness, but the comedy lacks variety and genuine wit. |
| User ReviewKevin TA hilarious spoof of the fashion and music of the 1980s. Very catchy songs! |
| User ReviewPrivate UFun, campy and musically charged. Barrett Crake sings his heart out about girls that don't like him and Myko Olivier's mustache rides a sweet, sweet saxophone. |
