GOOD ENTERTAINMENT WITH A DECENT PLOT November 2, 2008
I WAS COMPLETELY CONVINCED THAT MICHAEL PARE' WAS SINGING AND PLAYING THE GUITAR. HE WAS PERFECT FOR THIS CHARACTER IN BOTH MOVIES.

Eddie & The Cruisers Return in Part 2!! May 18, 2008
This is a great movie about a rock star trying to make a comeback.
Eddie Wilson after 20 years of being out of the spotlight and supposedly
dead he decides to start a new band, but under the same name.
He finally comes out and let everybody know who he is.
This is a movie for people that like old time rock & roll.
I rate this movie a 9 from 1to10!!

 Timing is Everything May 2, 2008
The 1989 sequel to Eddie and the Cruisers (1983) finds Michael Pare and Matthew Laurance reprising their roles as Eddie Wilson and Sal Amato, respectively.
But a tip-off on the quality of the production is the number of years that had gone by for the completion of this fictional account of a rocker's "death," a record company that markets the mystery as much as repackaging old songs and an unexpected comeback to the national spotlight.
The cliches - a record company that only eyes the bottom line and the tortured mind of an artist who strives to make music, without the hype - may borrow the fact & fiction from the (in)famous history of rock-n-roll, but muddles what had been a story that had mostly avoided such trappings.
There was potential to elevate the script, with Eddie Wilson's life truly taking center stage, but it ultimately stalls before reaching a satisfying finish.
