As one of Prince's NON-fans prior to seeing "Purple Rain", which
I was dragged to see, I can only say that the movie changed my
mind entirely about this very talented young person.

The club scenes contained excitingly packaged numbers, certainly
delivered with more punch and reality than anything on MTV.
It certainly helps if you like Prince before seeing the movie, but
so long as you're after originality (i.e. the phrase "new wave"
doesn't make you scream in rage) then this flick is a lot of fun.
