Customer Reviews of Eddie and the Cruisers
Words and music I walked into a theatre going out of business and saw this film as I was reading Kluge's book. I didn't expect much. I was mezmerized. I saw it 3 more times on the big screen before I taped it for myself. My tape is dying, so I've order two. This movie is so much like we'd like to believe it was in the 60's. Pare is perfect for the part and honestly I couldn't tell he was lip-synching. There isn't one thing not to love about this film if you can suspend reality, you'll take a trip with Eddie thru Tender Years on Wild Summer Nights. The soundtrack is the best I've heard for film. I'll probably die with a copy of this video in my arms.....or on the TV! 100% good watching. Its theme will never grow old.
Cruisers still cruise
I have to totally disagree with Tom Keogh's review of this film. The worst comments I have ever heard or read were along the lines of, "It was all right." "Not bad." "It was an okay movie." But according to Tom: "...impossible to accept." "...Pare is far from suitable (for the character)." "An all around embarassment." Was this guy having a bad hair day when he wrote this? Here's my two cents: "Eddie and the Cruisers" is a beautiful little movie that combines friendship, mystery, drama, and good music, all wrapped with solid acting, good direction, and a literate script. It's not a 'Citizen Kane', but then again, it doesn't claim to be. I've seen the film at least a dozen times since its release in the early eighties, and it still cruises. If you have yet to watch it, treat yourself to a nice hour-and-a-half (and don't forget the popcorn).
A Really Great Movie!
I'm guessing that this was a B-Movie which grew into a cult film, and I'm glad that it did!
This movie really manages to pull you into a fantasy- where Eddie Wilson was 15 years ahead of his time...and nobody can find the missing tapes, of what WOULD have been his next album- had he lived.
A news woman interviews the remaining members of Eddie's old band, to try and shine some light on the mis-understood stories, the blurred memories and complex ideas.
To enjoy this film, you have to ignore the REAL history of rock n'roll and pretend that THIS is how it went. It was well paced, the acting was good and the music fits!
As for DVD extras...you don't get very much, but that doesn't ruin this classic movie, now does it?
ROCK ON, EDDIE!!!!!
