Perhaps best known for its faux Springsteen soundtrack, the 1983 Eddie and the Cruisers is a rock lover's fantasy run wild. The story finds a reporter (Ellen Barkin) tracking down rumors of an unreleased album by a band whose charismatic leader (Michael Paré) allegedly died years before. As she approaches surviving members--who have since gone on to other things--she gets different points of view on Eddie's life and artistic drive, and the mystery about that album deepens. The trouble with the film is simple: it's impossible to accept. Michael Paré is far from suitable to play a Jersey shore rocker with thematic pretensions toward Rimbaud that go back to the '60s, and the soundtrack by John Cafferty sounds like a hack's rendition of E Street Band magic. An all-around embarrassment. --Tom Keogh

I must agree with everyone else that this movie was fantastic! I first bought Eddie and the Cruisers - Eddie lives on VHS....just loved the story line and the music was unbelievable!!! I had never heard of Eddie and the Cruisers the first movie until it came out on DVD and I ran out and bought a copy of it. Loved all of it as well as the music.......just one question.......WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS - EDDIE LIVES ON DVD???????????? VHS's are soon going to be out of the picture and my poor Eddie and the Cruisers - Eddie Lives on VHS is becoming so worn from being played, I won't beable to play it much longer so please............PUT IT ON DVD - so all the fans can have both copies........PLEASE!!!!!!

Can we please come out with a DVD of Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives?? I'm dying over here!!! I beg of you...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come out with the DVD. Everywhere I go now, it's insanely hard to find VHS' anymore. This is one of the greatest movies ever made and absolutely has the best soundtrack I've ever heard! Why isn't the DVD released yet!??! It's 2005!!!! The soundtrack is on CD already!!! Oh where oh where is the DVD??? I beg of you to come out with the sequel!!! Please!!! I'm dying here!

For those who love classic rock, this movie is a must see. Eddie Wilson personifies what a rock n' roll musician should be. It's all about the music. Like everyone else who loves this movie, I hope that the second movie, Eddie Lives, will be released on DVD soon. This is also a great movie for those who love rock music.
