| User ReviewJake CLike Prince's "Purple Rain," the music here well outshines whatever other cinematic qualities the movie attempts. Overwrought, underwritten, flatly acted-but, oh man, those songs! That band! And in the end, much to the movie's benefit, the camera lingers longer on Simon-the-singer than it does on Simon-the-actor. The result is about half concert film, half mediocre melodrama, but one hell of a great soundtrack. |
| User ReviewRobert SThis movie is sooo bad it's good! The music makes up for the lackluster plot and mediocre acting! Paul Simon and Lou Reed are the main highlights for this movie!! |
| User ReviewJuan MIt's a shame Paul Simon is such a bad actor. The story could have had a better development as well. The use of Paul Simon's music was over-indulgent. It was pretty interesting to watch Lou Reed in his role, though. |
