	'Graffiti Bridge'
		There are so many problems with "Graffiti Bridge." The major one is that this "contemporary musical drama" stars and was directed by Prince, who also wrote the script and the score.
		"Graffiti Bridge" is self-hagiography, an overextended video with a preposterous plot, suggesting that the music came first, the script last.
		"Graffiti Bridge" was apparently shot almost entirely on a neon-funk set built at Prince's 65,000-square-foot Paisley Park sound stage.

		Graffiti Bridge may well be the nail in the coffin of Prince's film career.
		Graffiti Bridge proves that, although the man is a genius musically, filmwise he has some issues.
		Graffiti Bridge is not a total wash, and it could even be really exceptional, under two conditions: You'd have to fast-forward through most of the dialogue, and you should probably also be a little drunk, or with someone you like making out with.

		"Graffiti Bridge" is a very heavy-handed sequel, of sorts, to Prince's 1984 film debut, "Purple Rain," which was written and directed much more successfully by others.
		She spends most of her time writing bad poetry beneath a rock bridge covered with graffiti on what is very obviously a movie set.
		"Graffiti Bridge" is rated PG-13 but is raunchy enough to be in R territory, with sex, partial nudity, profanity, vulgarity and violence.

		The "battle of the bands" between The Time and The Kid (Prince and the New Power Generation) sets in motion, zany puffery, romance, lots of clubbing and a film that is mostly good looking videos filmed in 35mm.
		Even while the plot is thin, as a director, Prince's film is well organized and not as brainless as dumb-ass critics claim.
		Graffiti Bridge is like an album from Prince.

		The East Campus Bridge, which some call the graffiti bridge, is an informal message board that displays Greek letters, advertises events and reflects campus controversies.
		Joyner said NCDOT records indicated that the bridge was built in 1950, but King said the bridge had to have been built before then, closer to the time when East Campus was redesigned in 1925 and 1927.
		Typically, NCDOT policy states that graffiti isn't allowed on bridges, and if it appears, it has to be removed, but Joyner said he assumed the graffiti traditional would be allowed to continue on the new bridge.

		Kid seeks a muse in Aura (Ingrid Chavez, in her one and only film appearance), who coaxes a masterpiece out of him under the titular Graffiti Bridge (which looks suspiciously like something you'd see on a miniature golf course) just before tragedy strikes.
		Prince is directing this time out, and even more so than in Under the Cherry Moon, the man proves he has no idea what to do behind the camera.
		Bridge has one thing going for it, and that's that the DVD packs more bass in it than any other disc I've ever screened.

	Graffiti Bridge DVD - RopeofSilicon.com
		Graffiti Bridge would be laughable if it wasn't for the amazing soundtrack, which as a stand alone doesn't really work, however, inside the framework of the film it works brilliantly adding life to every scene.
		Her presence in the film is only necessary for sex appeal and as a means to bring the competition between The Kid and Morris to a head as the fate of their individual clubs lay in the balance.
		On a whole Graffiti Bridge, like Under the Cherry Moon, will be best enjoyed by Prince fans considering the music is the main character of the film, and the story wouldn't be anything without it.

	PURPLE RAIN (TWO-DISC SPECIAL EDITION); UNDER THE CHERRY MOON; GRAFFITI BRIDGE - DVDs
		In one corner stands Under the Cherry Moon, a savagely underrated romance that suggests that with someone else's script, he's got the right stuff; in the other corner sits Graffiti Bridge, a grotesque white elephant that suggests Prince left to his own devices turns from funk idol into sadly inebriated schoolgirl.
		Where Under the Cherry Moon featured a lively and playful Prince, Graffiti Bridge's Kid is a glowering, self-serious creature who petulantly demands to be taken seriously.
		Thing is, we take him more seriously when he's not being serious--he's most subversive and potent when he's deflating the pretensions that we seek to crush on the dance floor.

	RollingStone.com: Graffiti Bridge : Prince : Review
		Graffiti Bridge, the soundtrack to Prince's upcoming movie, revives our gasp of wonder at Prince by making more emphatic than ever the power of his tense persona, a persona strung tight on the wire of his daring coupling of funk and rock, fl and white, male and female, flesh and spirit.
		A sharper focus and harder groove raise Graffiti Bridge above the feckless genre dabbling that often enlivened but sometimes undercut Parade, Around the World in a Day and Lovesexy.
		With Graffiti Bridge and its firm coalescence of his styles and concerns, Prince reasserts his originality – and does it with the ease of a conqueror.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Graffiti Bridge
		For 1990's Graffiti Bridge (after 1986's Under the Cherry Moon, which not only flopped but got scathing reviews), Prince returned to Purple Rain territory by making a sequel to that unexpected blockbuster.
		And not only did he direct it, Prince Rogers Nelson wrote the screenplay and composed the majority of the music — which is not all that surprising considering Prince used to play all the instruments on his early albums.
		Prince does have a knack for working with great cinematographers — here it's Bill Butler (Jaws), but musically only "Thieves in the Temple" is a great pop tune — which may be why, when it's heard in the film, it accompanies a pseudo-music video sequence.

		It's been said that the storyline for Graffiti Bridge is too much like Purple Rain.
		The mutual love interest here is Aura, a mysterious young female who sits under a bridge covered in graffiti, in perhaps the fakest outdoor set of all time.
		At first she falls for Morris's charms when he seduces her under the bridge, but later on, in a rather humourous scene, The Kid blows out a candle and takes her away.
