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.
