Long-form music video, great movie to watch while drinking

Wanna open this by saying I'm a huge Prince fan. I have multiple prince posters hanging in my home. I have Prince tattoos. I am a big big prince fan. That being said this movie is butt.This movie is worse than Purple Rain, and Purple Rain is not good. It is not quite as bad as Graffiti Bridge. Did I enjoy all of these movies? Yes I did, I've rewatched them multiple times but they're unequivocally bad movies all of them.Cherry Moon features bad acting, a bad script, and a plot so poorly explained you have to read a plot synopsis to tell what's going on, but also a brilliant soundtrack and really beautiful costumes. Also wow Prince is hot. Prince is soooo hot. He's so hot he makes you nervous. Just looking at him feels like an honor and a privilege. His makeup is perfect, his hair is perfect, his costumes are perfect. There's a scene where he's in a bathtub? Girl. If you've ever thought impure thoughts about Prince this movie is for you.I will say if you watch this movie drunk it's really good. Watching this movie sober is a chore broken up by floods of dopamine from looking at Prince's little abs. It's 2 hours long but it feels like 4. I once watched this movie alone drinking red wine straight from the bottle and it was a solid 8/10 under those circumstances. Recommend that.

Two cats from Miami enjoy some French cheddar..($$$)

This movie is nowhere near as bad as it's reputation. The acting is better in this movie than in most daytime soap operas. Prince & Jerome Benton are actually quite funny. That may be due to the fact that they're friends in real life. The worst part about this movie is the way Prince dresses in most of it. The soft white jumpsuit with the (hijab-like) headpiece was terrible. Prince overacts towards the end of the film. The jokes are somewhat ethnic without trying to be. The scene that comes to mind is when Tricky is suggesting that he could wed Mary Sharon. Christopher implies that if Tricky even approached Mary, the police would lock him up. Christopher gets into some dialog about being light-skinned(butterscotch) and Tricky being dark-skinned(chocolate) and how they have different fathers. This is to suggest that he wouldn't bail Tricky out of jail once he's locked up. Trickey informs Christopher that he'll "Slap the waves out yo head!". Prince & Jerome Benton were "Bling Bling" before the "Bling Bling Era" came into fashion during the mid 90's. Overall, the movie is a 6.5 on a 1-10 scale.
