Under the Cherry Moon | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Should you subject yourself or your loved ones to Under the Cherry Moon, my family recommends following it up-quickly- with Purple Rain or Sign 'o' the Times as a palate cleanser.

An unquestionably ridiculous film. Ridiculousness doesn't have to be a bad thing, though. In fact, the film has everything we want in a pop superstar vanity project.

It's strange that so few critics seemed to understand that it's a silly film, purposefully so, and tried to use their prose to laugh at it - as if Prince weren't laughing way ahead of them. He was TELLING the joke.

The final stretch is grueling, but the majority is average rather than awful.

An inspired, delightful piece of cinema-pure cloudcuckooland escapism, and very much of a piece with Prince's genius.
