"Fresh andioriginal." -Los Angeles Times
They say rock 'n' roll never dies, but one dark night in 1963, Eddie Wilson's car took a dive off a Jersey bridge with the troubled rock idol at the wheel. His body was never found. Tom Berenger (Platoon), Michael Pare (Streets of Fire) and Ellen Barkin (Sea of Love) star in this cool, compelling classic that really rocks!
Twenty years after the lead singer (Pare) of "Eddie and the Cruisers" disappeared, the band's songs are hotter than ever. And renewed interest in the band leads TV reporter Maggie Foley (Barkin) to pursue a tantalizing mystery: What if Eddie is still alive? The circumstances surrounding his death are just shadowy enough to make it a distinct possibility, and someone (could it be Eddie?) has been ransacking the homes of the surviving band members in a desperate search for tapes of the group's visionary, never-released album. As Maggie interviews the former "Cruisers," the pieces of the puzzle start to fit... but only until still deeper mysteries begin to surface.

Mixed Bag - 3.5 out of 5 (9/4/2001)
EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS is one of those movies I remember fondly from my
past. Watching it today, I have to wonder if this is still the case. After
putting a little more thought into the subject, I decided that the film
could be seen on two different levels, which explains my schizophrenic view.
From a critical standpoint, the film is a bust. It sets up a glorious
premise about the supposed death of a rock star, but it never delivers the
climax. It also makes Eddie Wilson out to be

remember rock n roll - 3.5 out of 5 (12/1/2002)
This movie will make you long for the better days of rock n roll! The music itself is worth the price of the DVD. The well played out story is a bonus that makes it a complete experience! I can't wait for "Eddie Lives!" ,the sequal to this movie,to become available on DVD!
