This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Prince live in Las Vegas - rather cameral performance, but if you're a fan of this artist, then you'll be more than pleased. We won't hear here the well known hits like "Little Red Corvette", "Kiss" or "When Doves Cry", but for me that was totally O.K. I admire Prince no matter if he's funky, if he plays pop, disco, rock or jazz - it's always the same great Prince. The only thing that I can complain about is the filming - for some reason the video is overexposured and edited in a windows-movie-maker style. And those horrible visualizations - who made those? But nevermind the bad realization - the music is still very enjoyable. So is the show.

remember when prince used to be fun?the concert has been hack-edited into a barely watchable film, poorly filmed. his incredible prowess as a performer is still there, but his sense of fun for the most part is not. the film might be enjoyed by die hard fans, but it is highly unlikely that anyone that is a casual fan would probably enjoy this or become a die hard fan.i know that much of the concert that was edited it out was the more fun hits stuff that was more lively, but for the life of me can not figure out why this was edited out and the dreary religious content left in.
he's still a genius, yes, but not much fun anymore, sadly.

Once again, Prince proves himself to be the best performer andthe best live performer. In "Live at the Aladdin Las Vegas", Princehas many fans jammin' to the tunes "Pop Life" and other classics.This isn't "Sign 'O' The Times" but Prince still can party like it's1999.
