I watched "Under The Cherry Moon" a few nights ago for the first time. I dont think its as bad as its detractors say, its silly fun and Prince's music, charisma and the old school 20s glamour look of the movie do enough. Maybe lacking a bit of a spark between Prince and Kristin Scott Thomas. Theres more sexual chemistry between Prince and Jerome Benton tbh. Its mad that this is her first movie, which she got a Razzie for too - unfairly I might add. There should be more music in this though. It seems like he was aiming for a proper movie than a musical.

Jim Hoberman was a fan - I can't find a link to his complete review, but an excerpt can be found here:

Someone shared a list of Sophia Coppola's top ten "The Greatest Films of All Time, as Selected for the Sight & Sound Magazine Poll"... it didn't seem like a very "fun" list to me (tho I'm no cineaste), but I was struck that "Purple Rain (Magnoli)" was listed (along with films by the likes of Kurosawa, Campion, and er, Francis Ford Coppola). One of the ten greatest of all time(?)

I mean I love Prince, but the best thing about the movies is the music.

King Creole - the only decent Elvis movie?

It’s very weird that I’ve never seen Under the Cherry Moon

I haven't either, but I'm in no rush to - I don't think I can get through Purple Rain again unless I skipped to the musical numbers. His Batman videos are really entertaining - I kind of prefer them to the actual movie at this point.
Anyway, regardless of whether his movies are any good, I love the albums that came with all of them, even Graffiti Bridge. I can't say that about Elvis - side A of Loving You has some great stuff as does the soundtrack to King Creole, but except for a few singles, I have no interest in putting on his other soundtracks.
