Review of Purple Rain

So 32 years after it originally came out-when I was 16 at the time and wouldn't have been able to watch it at a theatre then unless I was accompanied by an adult guardian-me and my movie theatre-working friend finally watched this now-classic movie at an AMC cinema he's employed at that starred Prince, about a week after his untimely death. A fictional version of his life when he was a struggling musician, this wasn't too bad as a drama but it was excellent when it showcased Prince's musical performances especially at the end when he went from the title song (great number!) to a couple of great uptempo songs. I also enjoyed some of the banter between Morris Day and one of his bandmates when trying to figure out a certain password which turned into a "Who's on First" tribute. My friend thought the movie was alright (I think he'll always prefer Elton John when it comes to musical performances) but I was mostly just glad to have finally watched this after so many years of missing it! So, yeah, that's a high recommendation for Purple Rain.
