Predictable, but fun.
P.F. Kluge hated this movie. He's the author of the novel, Eddie and the Cruisers. He called it a talent-free embarrassment. I respectfully disagree. The acting by Michael Pare' was great. The rest, not so much. Like the first Eddie, the music of John Cafferty has a huge presence. The story is somewhat cheesy and predictable, but somehow, that still leaves a fun-to-watch movie about a troubled, thought to be dead, rock star who still desperately wants to accomplish something great. He meets up with an overly ambitious, talented guitar player who needs to learn that music is more than impressive playing. Now I'm feeling cheesy for describing it. Give it a watch and decide for yourself.
