I would call this a cult classic
I'm a big fan of John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. Their music has a huge presence in this movie. Michael Pare' hit it out of the park with the character acting. I think he's very underrated.
The main theme of the movie is "words and music." When it comes to rock and roll music, Eddie is the best. He meets up with a poet who can play piano, but can't sing. Together, they create something great. The story is told in flashback style. It's 18 years after Eddie's questionable death in 1964. They never found the body. Does Eddie still live? Who's trying to get ahold of the lost recordings? It's a fun story with great music. I have the movie (with the sequel) on BluRay and watch it every couple of years.
