Proof positive that if you could buy Prince for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth you'd be rich. The music by Prince and Morris Day and the Time are outstanding but that is it. From what I've read Prince had never even visited a movie set when he started working on this (and it shows.) The story is very disjointed and of course it glorifies the character played by Prince. Worth seeing for the music but that is it. If he hadn't had so much control over the film it probably would have been great!
