Patrick M. @JoseyWhales 13h Classic HBO afternoon movie and worth revisiting 30 years later. See more Christian K @ckacar 3d Wow wow wow, Martin Davidson I was not familiar at all with your game. This has a great script and a few of the best framed shots I can remember. See more Δ Σ Τ @Baldylocks Apr 18 Absolute garbage. I was a junior in high school when it came out and for whatever reason (let’s call it morbid curiosity) I waited until I was 58 to watch the damn thing. Horrible plot. Performances are solid but there’s so many saxophone solos, Tom Berenger can’t figure out he’s supposed to bang Ellen whatsherass. Oy vey this is just a painfully bad movie. Embarrassing. See more Rufus M. @RufusMorgan Mar 28 This feels like the depressing sequel to That Thing You Do! The story had potential, but it is bogged down by slow pacing, bad acting, and frankly not enough plot. Tom and Ellen are really the one one's who can act, and even then are barely passable. Eddie is laughable with his strange mouth movements while obviously lip syncing. See more Anthony B @Aurora442 Feb 10 The low rating is hardly justified, Eddie and the Cruisers is a great film, well directed and acting is spot on, you really get drawn into the characters as they develop throughout the movie, especially Eddie Wilson looking for greatness but never obtaining, it a reminder that life is fleeting, the other characters holding on to the past as they get older, this happens to all of us as we get older, lost opportunities, mistakes that we made etc. as I watch this film more and more it really is a very sad movie. See more Matt L @Mattliptak Jan 29 Stellar, often-overlooked gem. Eddie and the Cruisers remains one of the most unfairly dismissed films of its era. Michael Paré delivers what is arguably one of the best lip-sync performances ever, convincingly channeling John Cafferty’s vocals without breaking the illusion. The cast is rock solid across the board—Tom Berenger brings gravitas, Ellen Barkin adds edge and attitude, Joe Pantoliano is memorable as always, and Paré anchors it with brooding charisma. The story is engaging, atmospheric, and far more compelling than critics ever gave it credit for. Long hated by reviewers, it’s aged remarkably well, and its arrival on streaming is a welcome chance for new audiences to rediscover a film that deserves far more respect than it ever received.
