Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Perhaps best known for its faux Springsteen soundtrack, the 1983 Eddie and the Cruisers is a rock lover's fantasy run wild. The story finds a reporter (Ellen Barkin) tracking down rumors of an unreleased album by a band whose charismatic leader (Michael Paré) allegedly died years before. As she approaches surviving members--who have since gone on to other things--she gets different points of view on Eddie's life and artistic drive, and the mystery about that album deepens. The trouble with the film is simple: it's impossible to accept. Michael Paré is far from suitable to play a Jersey shore rocker with thematic pretensions toward Rimbaud that go back to the '60s, and the soundtrack by John Cafferty sounds like a hack's rendition of E Street Band magic. An all-around embarrassment. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - DVD Eddie and the Cruisersl was amazed to be able to find this movie......l was extremely please with the prompt service......and have enjoyed watching it several times since recieving it....it was an overall very enjoyable experience.... Rating:  - DisappointingThough I was a teen in the 80s, I never saw Eddie and the Cruisers until recently. I enjoyed John Cafferty's hit songs from the soundtrack years ago and wanted to like the movie. Sadly, I didn't think much of the movie and doubt I would have even when I was 14 years old at the time of its release. The story is quite unbelievable, particularly toward the end when a series of events revolves around main characters re-visiting a fantastical junkyard that has remained totally undisturbed for decades. ...

From William Blake to Nick Drake, we've seen this story repeated over & over ... and we'll see it many times again. Yes, there's a touch of fantasy & wish fulfillment here -- but we're not dealing with a gritty, utterly realistic ... Read More Rating: - The editorial review is BSWho is Tom Keogh and why does Amazon pay him? Eddie and the Cruisers is about invention and striving for excellence. It is about two great minds, Frank and Eddie, coming together to create something new. Eddie sees in Frank a great songwriter and uses his (Eddie's) leadership ability to put the words to music just right. This is a movie about ideas, values and friendship working toward a common goal. Cross your fingers and say 'words and music'. Then sit back and enjoy this wonderful movie. Rating: - Eddie and the CruisersI was very satisfied with the price, preoduct condition, and prompt delivery. I would strongly recemend purchasing from Amazon. Browse for similar items by category:
